You actually rinse it? You mean as in getting the gear wet without diving?
It does seem rather pointless, now that you mention it.
I guess, if you rinse it when it is already wet from diving, it's OK.

Thanks to Zeagle, I simply unscrew the inflater, hook-up a garden hose and turn it on until the water starts coming out of the OPV. Then I just hang the wing upside down tilted toward the left side and the water just runs out of the corrugated hose. No fuss, no muss. Love that Zeagle Bx system. BTW, this is on a Halcyon wing.
In order to minimize volume in my suitcase I suck the wing flat through the oral inflater. Just like inflating it but in reverse. It has the added benefit of getting it pretty empty of water, which is useful for packing as well. When I do this getting ready to return from a dive trip, I always get a little water out as well, but in any case, it seems pretty empty of both air and water when I'm done. I mean flat.
