Its not busted I have had it checked. All the other KISS units i have looked at are similar, you cant get a good high pressure positive test (like you can on an inspo) to test for leeks using liquid soap. Only way to do it is keep the 02 on constant flow and even then its not ideal.

Hmm, must just be mine then. I only did it a couple of times before someone said- don't!

Having seen the torture some Inspiration divers inflict on their units in the name of +ve/-ve checks I'm not sure I'd want to either!
