Given that the OPV seems to be giving many a great deal of gip maybe it would be an idea to at least cut a hole in the box (behind the back plate) so you can get at the OPV without having to go through the pain of undoing the hoses and pulling the whole scrubber base out just to check. Easy access would mean a diver can visually inspect the OPV for crud each dive.

On my boris there is such a hole - there are no hoses to undo. To check the OPV I undo the nuts on the backplate, lift the harness and backplate up and I can check it from there and rebuild it if necessary through the hole in the back of the unit without having to break the loop or scrubber.

Hope that helps
