Not sure if this belongs in the Regulator or Instruments forum, but here's my situation:
I recently purchased the Apeks XTX50 regulator and have yet to get it wet. Due to a misunderstanding, I did not get a HP hose shipped to me with my order. However, the shop was kind enough to ship one over anyway at no cost to me.
The thing is, I have a dive trip coming in less than a week and so I need to complete my setup before the HP hose has a chance to arrive.
I have been asking around and have been told that if I rent just an SPG for this trip, and replace it with my personal one when my HP hose comes, I will have to send the brand new regulator for servicing after I replace the rented SPG with my personal one.
My question is: Does this make sense? Does swapping out the SPG and HP hose from the HP port impact the way the regulator works? From my limited understanding of how these things work, it should have no impact...
