Dump Spring

[2TH DIVR]

I have a Venture wing that's 2 years old.
The other day during a dive I was losing air out the dump valve.
Got home and opened it up thinking I'd find something trapped in there.
What I found really surprised me, the spring had rusted completely breaking in two.
I have several wings, Dive Rite and others, some 10+ years old and have never seen this before.
Is this a fluke?

Yes, it is a fluke. Looks like some spring supplier slipped in a bad one. I would expect the retailer or the manufacturer to replace that spring at no charge. Diverite is active on the board and doing a fairly good job with customer relations.

Hi 2th divr,

Sorry to hear you are having problems, it is certainly an unusual occurrence. PM me your details and we will be able to send a new spring out to you in the mail.

Best,
Ag
