| Re: Bad design of boris'sloop?
ok guys lets clarify some points:
1) MIKE ???????? I thought the flooding last week of your unit was due to YOU using a modified spring (cut shorter) in the OPV, mainly with the new little larger upgraded OPV-back plate ???? therefore being a larger surface, it needed the original spring to push it in position (understand close). When I gave you the original small OPV-back plate it seems to work !
2) in more than 300h on Boris and a few deep dives on my no 002 unit I never had any flooding, but yes I take care of the unit, and yes I Virkon the counter lungs quite often, it's a breathing-life saving apparatus isn't it ???
3) I had my share of problems with the unit over the last 18 month but the factory solved them all, free of charge, what else can we ask for ?
As Howard Hall said about Rebreather:
“During my 1,000 hours of rebreather diving, the rather high frequency of equipment malfunction has only been exceeded by the much higher frequency of stupid diver mistakes” |
