Should I get my reg serviced?

[Xaryo]

Some regs have a servicing warranty. If you get it serviced EACH year, the service kit is free. Skip a year, lose the warranty. It might get costly in the long run.

Hi. The leaks were from the first stage. One time I took both first stages, the diaphragm and the piston with me on my dive trip, just in case, and both leaked from the *first* stage (bubbling under water). This happened to me a few times and always after I had not had them serviced for more than the one year.

I rinse my gear and regulator carefully after diving so that's not the problem. Also when the parts are returned to me, there's no corrosion. So far the problem has resolved itself as long as I get my Delta 2 serviced at the yearly interval. And of course I will not buy Oceanic reg again.

First stage leaks...no reason a diaphram first stage should ever leak. You either have defective regs or a defective service tech.
