| Re: Filter For OPV
Pictures:
Picture #1: Two Scotch Brite filters cut into a perfect circle.
(side view & top view)
Picture #2: OPV with Scotch Brite filter installed
(You'll notice the factory interior cover won't hold the filter in place)
Picture #3: interior cover of OPV (this cover needs to be replaced if you
installed the filter)
Picture #4: OPV without filter ( You can clearly see how sofnolime particles
can get between the diaphragm and body
with out the filter)
Modification issues
I've never had a flood or loop failure in my kit...But a few of my negative tests have failed because of particles stuck between the OPV diaphragm and it's body. I hope the pictures paint a much clearer picture of this mod. BUT PLEASE remember this mod won't allow your lungs to vent accordingly to CE specifications. I've flooded the loop with a teaspoon of sofnolime in the exhalation counter lung and NO particles got to the diaphragm.. Other Boris divers stated that they had loop failures and believe it was the failure of the OPV. I personally feel this mod has more benefits then negatives and makes the OPV much more muck resistant.
Cheers Frankie
