Check the exhaust diaphragm of the OC second-stage. Do same u/w to see if you could hear water being sucked in...

Colin,

I didnt suffer this so Id check the mushroom valves for crud / damage first off. Then check the dighaphram on the Apex reg.

I have spare mushroom valves for it and a diaphram for the Apex.

Basicly i gave up on doing neg tests and just ran it on positive tests and a liberal coating of liquid soap on all joints. It was totaly dry in use.

Pop round with it any time and ill go through it with you.

ATB

Mark
