Gear Maintenance: Rinse your metal second stage in warm vs cold water ?

[Searcaigh]

Warm bath with a wee bit of lemon. Afterwards a light drying with a lint free towel. Followed by warm air infused with some Best Air Bacteria Treatment. Finally a spritz of mint on the mouth piece.

Do you put a little umbrella in that too?

We don't have cold water here it's always warm but in summer it's hot.

I hope all the operators are treating their rental equipment like this!
Sweet dream.

Always warm to hottish water, soak for a while, then wash and let it drain.

Warm hose water, doing so for use with no issues, was there when the serviced my reg and they said all looked fine

I take a 20Q Pelican Cooler, full of hot water from my shower. Sits in the car while I dive, or I can take it on a local charter boat. After my dive, the water is still very hot. I rinse off everything, including me. Easy to rinse off the drysuit, while I am wearing it; regs, masks, lights, comp, Nautilus, rock boots, steel springs on fins, all get a dunk in the hot water.

I always used to soak in water for at least 3 hours or overnight

Then I got a mk25 evo and s620 ti that I dived for 1 year and around 3 months and approx 150 dives

Now I just do a cursory rinse right after my last dive and then again a proper wash with hose when I'm home 2-3 hours later

Looked ok to me when I got it serviced 1.25 yrs/150 dives later

That a Hewescraft? I was talking to them back in 18 about building my current charter boat. They make a really nice product, I just couldn't justify the money for our short season.

Yep..... 2017 Hewescraft Ocean Pro - 24ft with the offshore bracket. Honda 250 main and a 9.9 kicker.

Nice, I was looking at a custom 32 based on the ocean pro with outset twin 250s and an elevator.
