You've added 'solenoid sticking open more than average' on the meg list. Can't see who posted this, but it would be good to determine if it was on the earlier solenoids or the later Jaksa.

This list is really shaping up!

I have heard of people with BOTH solenoids, and I think its more of a diver issue than a solenoid issue.. All solenoids need a ferous metal, the problem is that an water in the solenoid will ruin it quickly.. I see 2 causes

No filter on the solenoid and the swakelok QC connectors.. Before connecting The diver has to make sre that all water has been blown out.. I have seen more than one Meg diver just connect the fitting assuming it was dry..
