Thinking of replacing current regulator

[Allen-1]

LDS has a pool, I went there yesterday with my gear including new regulator. Had the tech there assemble it while I watched.

Yeah, I *know* it's simple. I do most of the work on my motorcyle and firearms. I can run a lathe or a milling machine, and know how to read manuals. BUT - I don't know much about regulators and finding out that I screwed up assembly when I'm underwater just seems like a really bad idea.

After conversation, I had him set it up with my HP ports on top, SPG on left, transmitter on right. He said, as others have said here, that he's never had a problem with anyone grabbing transmitter as a handle - and he took the extension off.

Anyhow - after he assembled the reg, I spent almost an hour underwater with it. Did a bunch of swaps between the primary and octo, played with forcing freeflow and shutting it down, played with the cracking pressure adjustment knob, blah, blah, blah.

Quite happy with it.

Excellent!

I actually adjusted the orientation of my Deep 6 this past weekend. I completely swapped it 180 degrees to have the HP ports on top with the transmitter on my left, long hose coming out of the bottom LP port, alternate coming out of the right LP port and inflator on the left LP port (which obviously swivels). I then angle the reg slightly to have the long hose come down my right just in front of my wing.

I liked this orientation much better. I had nothing hitting the back of my head. I will be sticking with this configuration for sure!

Yup, this is how I have all of mine. For me, works much better.
