Apparently, there are.Unless you're interested in some niche product, normal 2nd stages all accept ~135-140 psi IP. There are no 1st or 2nds purposely made for 50psi (eg)
Oh yay more mystery branded Chinese life support equipment! Do you have a first stage set at 50psi? How's that breathe for ya?Apparently, there are.
Use it to monitor the health of your 1st. stage so you know when it needs servicing. It can save you a lot of money by avoiding unnecessary services.And then what am I going to do with it? Sell it on SB? My garage is already full of such junk.
If you are continuing to dive, you will use it to keep an eye on the health of your first stage..... It's not junk anymore than have an OBD2 dongle to check codes on your car is.And then what am I going to do with it? Sell it on SB? My garage is already full of such junk.
Take it with you on travel and charge your dive buddies $5 to measure their IP when they mention IP creep is worrying them. It'll pay for itself in no time.And then what am I going to do with it? Sell it on SB? My garage is already full of such junk.
