spectrum:I soak eveything but the 1st stages in a pail of clean water. Ideally I do this before getting refills and hook it all up and turn the air on. I hose the cylinders and first stages while the rest soaks. I give each second and console a good swishing and operate the purges.
What Pete is doing is fine, because his reg is pressurized (on the tank with the air on). But, remember, do not depress the purges on the second stages while soaking or rinsing if the reg is not pressurized.
