How to Properly Care and Maintain Your Scuba Diving Regulator

[visienki]

DO NOT buy anything from SCUBA.COM. BE AWARE!!! They do not keep promises and the delivery may be done late,or not be done at all.

How about the low pressure hose? My reg has the second stage, an octo, an hp hose to my gauge and the lp hose to the BC. Can that be submerged disconnected from the BC?

[scubacom]

@flspy @flspy A very good question! The low pressure inflator hose is sealed when not connected to the bcd. You are totally safe to rinse, wash and submerge your regulator when it is disconnected.

Thanks for the quick response! I was concerned that dunking the LP hose might introduce moisture into the system and possibly up to the 1st stage. Believe it or not, I called the dive store I bought my gear and they told me NOT to let the dust -capped reg soak! They insist that all you need to do is dunk the reg a few times in fresh water and let it dry. I am going to try your advice of purging the reg in fresh water after the dive while still connected to the tank- it makes f sense.

@flspy Your local dive shop isn't incorrect. Usually that is all that is required to properly clean your regulator.

taoh780, I'm sorry I accidentally removed your question. To clean a DIN first stage always be sure the DIN Cap is screwed securely onto the first stage prior to immersing it in water or rinsing it off with the hose. This cap should be used any time the regulator is not connected to a cylinder as it also protects your threads from accidental damage.

Cleaning of the inside of any scuba cylinder should ONLY be performed by a facility certified in the process. As a diver you never want to drain your cylinder completely of its contents and do not want to remove the valve.

I think it is great. I bought a lot of expensive material and never was told how to properly take care of it.

Thanx for sharing.
