Hi all (experienced and novice) (x)cr divers,

What method do you use - rinsing (before, after), what cleaner or detergent, hot air, ambient air, cleaning all or just hoses or/and counterlungs, or just the mouthpiece?

What is your experience - ever had problems with getting a sour throat after diving your buddy's rigg?

Joerg

Rinse hoses and dsv with water at the end of each day's diving, after several days of diving or if the unit is going to be idle for awhile I rinse everything well and disinfect hoses, cl, scrubber can with virkon and dry well. Never had a problem, it's a bit more than most, but it is an extenstion of your lungs.
