These are the answers I've heard most of the time.
Couple of months ago I read the Diver magazine, they talked about it....
Why would it suddenly jumped up to become a 3 days check?.

Hope you didnt take that from my schedule/my 'day 5 check'? I come home in the evening and after a days work at the office, I have a limited number of hours to do stuff at home (cooking, washing etc.....).

On the friday evening, I have all regs cleaned and assembled. I go through tuning and testing. Tuning is setting pressure, adjusting, depresurizing, verifying and re-adjsuting, etc, etc until I see the IP I want. Tesing is a quick breath and then in a bath to look for leaks and cracking pres., if I have time, I jump in the pool to play.
 
awap:
Regs really need to be cycled to take the initial set, not just left under pressure. And a bath tube works better for a leak check. You can even see where the leak is.:mooner:

Agree. Previously I was just quoting the over night testing part, the rest of the checkings are done independently. Soaking in water to check leakage etc. is still in normal rountine.
