I dropped my regs.

....the problem is the possibility that you've weakened/overstressed some component that isn't immediately obvious....things like did you damage the soft brass 1st-stage threads where the hoses screw into the 1st-stage ? ...or, did the unit impact near where the metal crimp clamps down on a hose, causing hidden, internal hose damage ? You could easily unscrew and reinstall all the hoses to make sure they screw back into the 1st-stage smoothly....which might help you spot damaged internal 1st-stage threading. I don't know of a good way to 'X-ray' the hoses for internal damage though....other than to dive, and spin around on your back and watch/listen for any small bubbles leaking from anywhere.......and if you were ever thinking of upgrading to MIFLEX hoses at some point anyway, this might be a good excuse to go ahead and replace hoses now.

Hidden internal hose damage - they are rubber falling will not hurt them. I have been working on regs for over 15 years and dropping will not harm the interior of a hose. Inspect your reg body for damage (cracks) look for leaks when its hooked up - if it worked in the pool there is a 99.9% chance there is nothing wrong with it- go dive it has no more chance of failing now than when it was brand new out of the box. Regulators although not suggesting dropping them over and over can take quite a bit of abuse without hurting anything.
