Necessary to O2 clean 2.stage?

[the_dragon_no1]

Isn't a regular service, but with O2 compitable parts, O-rings and O2 lube good enough since it's low pressure?

Mine is a Apeks reg.
And let's say use is for a 50% deco bottle.

Most I know dont O2 clean 2nd stages as they're low enough pressure.

But you do as you want

no

officially? yes.

do I or anyone I know? no.... Many use O2 compatible lube and o-rings because it's eaiser to just treat everything as o2 clean, but I don't know anyone that goes to the same effort as we do on our first stages

 

[mderrick]

no

Come on Chris, I know you O2 clean your mouth before every dive.

The inside of 2nd stage gets exposured to water, silt, maybe sand, I don't see how )2 cleaning it matters. It will just get "dirty" the very first time you use it

Apeks recommends it.
I use O2 compatible lube to avoid cross contamination from Si grease in all my Apeks regs(normal or deco). O2 compatible lube is expensive but only tiny amount is required so I keep it simple.

aww..isn't that sweet. O2 cleaning a second stage is not needed..

Okay, as suspected then. I'll just carry on with my regular services for my 2nd stages then

Thanks

why do regular service? Service them when they start leaking or start breathing funny. No need to service them before that....
