Since XS Scuba is the USA distributor, thought I'd throw this question to them. If anyone knows the answer, feel free to respond.
I use a Miflex LP hose for my primary reg. I dive at the local aquarium as a volunteer. One of the staff said I shouldn't dive the tanks with a Miflex hose because the nylon outer braiding could bring microorganisms into the tank. My thought is, so could a wetsuit, boots, gloves, mask, and just about anything else. There's a rule at the aquarium that your gear has to be dry at least 1 week before using it in a tank so that anything that was on it would have died in that period.
Any info on the Miflex hose braiding being resistant to microbe housing and growth?
