Overboard Discharge..easy to install

[EliotD]

I have heard different things from different people, anyone actually installed an "overboard discharge" valve on their drysuit? How easy is it?

 

[do it easy]

I put one in myself and it was fairly easy. I bought the Sweet Lady H p-valve and it came with a thorough set of instructions. I have a crushed neoprene drysuit if that makes any difference.

hi, i've installed them in both of my whites drysuits. 1, a 7mm neoprene, and a 4mm crushed neoprene. piece of cake to install, follow the instructions, buy a ballanced system, not an unbalanced, IMHO. ken "drink lots of fluids & pee freely"

Also, don't forget about the post dive maintenance- flush some water through the p-valve to purge out all that icky nastiness outta there. The main reason is that it will also cut down on your chances of getting an infection. I've read that some people use diluted bleach. vinegar, or something else. I just use water squirted with a condiment bottle that has the right size tip.

DIE ... do you do that after each and every dive, or at the end of the day?

Geez, now we're getting into the personal questions- I flush the p-valve whenever I hang up the suit after diving at the end of the day, but if I'm on a weekend trip, I'm lazy and only do it at the end.

:blush: It is kinda like asking how often you change your underware, isn't it.

I will refrain from what I was going to say, TOS violation without a doubt.
