Replacing ScubaPro 109 w/ Deep 6?????

[MargaritaMike]

I have a ScubaPro reg set from 1986. I replaced one of my 109's with a G250 in 1997 and now I am considering replacing the second one with a Deep 6 second stage. My question is this: With the Mk V first stage will the Deep 6 work right. I'm not sure of IP's and such as I don't service regulators, so I'm looking for a "Yes. It will work fine (great) (wonderfully)" or "No. It won't work right."

Thanks - M²

It'll work fine. They all operate within the same IP range.

It will work fine, the better question is why on earth would you swap a great reg for a lesser one?

It may be best if @cerich or @LandonL chime in directly. Horse’s mouth as it were.

I don’t believe there will be any issues at all.

It will work fine if you follow the instruction below:
Tune your new second stage to the IP of your old first stage.
Send me the old second stage for proper disposal.

But seriously, see Herman's post. If you are truly looking for an upgrade, just upgrade the internals of your 109 to either a Balanced Adjustable (same guts as your G250) Store - Vintage Double Hose or keep it unbalanced with a new Duro poppet and replaceable seat. Store - Vintage Double Hose

That's what I was waiting to hear. Thanks. You saved me some money.

The deep 6 second stages are 65$ right now if that sways your decision at all.

And there is no such thing as too many second stages.

I understand the attraction to new and shiny, but your 109 can be repaired/upgraded/all new parts @ vintagedoublehose.com , also, nice condition/refurbed 109/156's are readily available @ EBay. (vintagedoublehose also sells whole refurbed units.
