Sherwood Maximus question

[skdvr]

I have a Maximus and was wondering about the two adjustment knobs...

I understand that one is the Venturi assist, and the other is a craking adjustment. So in what types of situations do you use them???

Thanks in advance for the help ...

I've never noticed any difference using the Venturi assist in any regulator. The cracking adjustment can be adjusted at any time to provide easier breathing, or prevent free flows. I use it to maintain optimum breathing ease between services.

Thanks for the reply, I have only used the cracking adjustment when I fist put air to the reg. I have it all the way open (so that it hisses) then close it just enough to stop the hissing. I have tried messing with the Venturi underwater but could not notice a difference either. Maybe I have not been deep enough for it to matter. I am not sure, which is why I posted the question. Thanks again....
