I do not use the flowstop on the stock APD ADV.
I find it is just complicating matters and have a number of quality issues with them.
If I need to shut off the ADV then I shut off the diluent.
My suit and wing inflations are always offboard and not effected anyway.
Interesting - makes sense if you run offboard suit and wing. I'm reasonably happy with my flowstop now that I know what it's foibles are

The only time I use an APD flowstop is on the first 2 dives of an Inspiration/Evolution Mod 1 where I shut it and tape it up thus forcing the studet to use the manual inflation buttons.
We were on our honour not to use it on the first dives of the course. When our instructor was happy we could do it manually, he let us use the ADV.
Cheers,
