sharky001:Does anyone have any experience with a Halcyon valve-manifold assembly? Any opinions about Halcyon manifolds vs. Dive Rite, OMS or others?
Thank you!
No longer the case - the last batch of Sea Elite manifolds I bought take about 2.5 turns now. I have one of the older Sea Elites, and it takes about 1.5 turns. The new version also has 200 BAR or 300 BAR stamped on each valve, the olders ones do not. Something has changed.Soggy:Halcyon and Sea Elite manifolds *look* identical, but one major difference is that the Sea Elites only require like 1 1/2 turns to shut a valve down vs 3+ with a Halcyon. Sea Elite manifolds are top-notch, though and the price is certainly right.

Otherwise, for all intents and purposes the old and new version look identical. Price is still great.
