I would think that you are fine. You may also want to look into getting the seal. The first stage may be able to convert to an environmentally sealed unit. Either way, the main point is that with a diaphragm first stage you are sealing all the moving components. I wouldn't worry to much, just make sure that you have a contigency, and are aware of what is going on if something were to happen.
