HI Danny
Hi UB

the purging of teh counterlung is a good point,
I am diving an Inspo, the purge valve of teh counterlung is located reasonable high very close to the T,
I had one flood once (manual injector inhalation counterlung was not sealed - never, never forget your positive pressure check - i learned it, luckily nothing happened) and bailout oc.
However if you want to purge the counterlung you will have to be in a slighttly head down possition which could possible lead to letting more water passed the watertrap and into your scrubber.

Has anyone experience with purging the cl. I occasionally get some fluid biuld up in the cl (manly spit - yummie) which can be abit annoying in a long dive.

cheers
With Practice you can purge water through the manual add ports on the inspiration and not have to get into any strange position..

You can either remove the whip and overpressureize the loop while pressing the add button (its slow but it works) or you can loosen up the manual add and purge gas, as soon as gas starts escaping, tighten it down..
