In another thread it was stated "Servicing regulators causes them to fail." Like all things human, work done by humans is not always perfect.
My question is how often should I rebuild my regs? I got cheapie Sherwood regs and pretty much just dive in fresh water springs or the pool. No corrosion anyplace I can see, I take good care of them as far as recreational diver can. Should I rebuild every 5 years? Or just wait until they act up? The other component of this formula is redundancy. I dive with main reg, an octopus and a redundant pony with its own reg....3 regs on each dive.
Also is it better to learn to rebuild yourself, then you can't blame anyone other than yourself for shoddy work? Can you buy the parts?
Thanks
