Hi,
I have a G250V that has about 15 dives on it, and after the last dive, the Inhalation resistantance knob is sticking. I always soak the regulator is fresh water after use for about an hour or two.
Basically, after it's all dry and put away, after about 3 days, the knob sticks at it's current position (which is all the way out, then backed off just a little).
It is possible to un-stick it by turning the knob, it doesn't require brute force. After it's broken the initial resistance, it is completely fine. It just re-sticks again after about 2-3 days.
Is this common on this 2nd stage? Sometimes when underwater I do adjust that knob, so maybe a small amount of salt crystals have formed which didn't get penetrated by soaking it after the dive.
Is there anything I can do to make sure it won't stick again and become permanently locked? This isn't the VIVA knob, it's the inhalation resistance knob that sticks.
(I have a second G250V on a long yellow hose which is my backup, this does not have the same problem, it's completely free, but then again I never adjust it underwater).
Thanks!
