Dive Rite reg XT

[Twiny]

Hi all,
I would like to check with the users of the Dive Rite XT regs a matter about intermediate pressure.
Some divers here adjust their Dive Rite XT regs with an intermediate pressure of 12 bars for an optimized WOB & easy breathing (Most regs free flow if Intermediate pressure is above 10 bars but not Dive Rite).
What setting (12 or 10 bars) you guys are using and do you know the official Dive Rite factory setting ?

Thanks for this document.
Some of you adjust their Dive Rite regs with an intermediate pressure of 12 bars for an even easier breathing ?

I'd like to know who does that and who told you that?

Short answer, don't do it.

DM your email address. I have some literature that will assist in understanding of how regs work.

If you don't know what you're doing it's inadvisable to go blindly playing willy nilly. But I guess that's why you posted here

No offence intended

I have attended a few Dive-Rite regulator repair clinics and have the certificates of completion from each of them. *THAT* being said I don't work on my own regulators - I pay for an experienced service technician with all the diagnostic tools either at Dive Rite or Cave Country Dive Shop to work on mine.

Take the advice of @buddhasummer

unless if you are trying to run poseidon cyclons, no need to run at 12 bar
