SR-1 Broken 2nd stage purge button

[lukemillar]

Hi,

Just come back from a diving holiday and while I was away someone setup my gear and got a bit carried away purging the system as they stuck their fingers right through the rubber purge button on my SR1's 2nd stage!

I was wondering how to go about getting a replacement. I took the regs into my LDS (in New Zealand) for servicing before I went on holiday, but they had problems sourcing parts for the SR1 in NZ as they said it was a too new product!? I believe that was meant ".... in time for returning the regs so I could on holiday", but anyway!

Is it possible to get a replacement button? I don't mind paying; just seems it may be a lot easier and quicker to source one from the US myself and give it to my LDS to fit!

Thanks
Luke

That's really strange Luke.

I too have a SR-1 and had the same problem, someone stuck their finger in too hard and ripped the purge cover.

I took it back into my LDS and they had it replaced pretty quick smart - and that was probably around 9-10 months ago.. so not sure why your LDS reckons that parts are hard to get hold of :/

Great reg though!

Yep, mine is now sorted. The Sherwood rep got in touch and sorted me out very quickly as well. Great customer service, I am very impressed
