Hi everybody

Please give me some help

I am a new MEG owner! and I am thinking it might be a good idear getting a BOV

been reading a lot about it on this forum.

Is Golem the best for the MEG??

Do you take the LP hose to the stage..? or the dilluent?

thanks....

Come on guys someone on here must use a Golem BOV so come and give Michael some advice please!

Anyway, Michael, my experience of an OC/DSV (read BOV) was a Bob Howell I had on my Inspo 3 or so years ago that I then sold on....

Anyway, I used to connect my OC/DSV to my stage cylinder via a quick connect.

It is not a good idea IMHO to have it plugged into your diluent, I use my rebreather to rebreathe.

Don't use one anymore, they are good, but what with teaching I keep my DSV as standard where possible.

Cheers,

Dave Cooper.

Cedric Verdier uses the Golem BOV on his Meg.. he mentions it in his article about Bailing Out http://www.rebreatherworld.com/rebre...iling-out.html

Take care,

Scott

Hi Dave,

Interesting that you should take that approach. I personally run my OC/CC DSV straight from my dil. I believe that the DSV is a great transition tool rather than a complete bailout option. I don't use any QDs for simplicity and have all of my bailout tanks fitted with LP inflator hoses so they can be plugged into the lungs if need be.

Let's have a fight about who is right

I use Golem BOV on my Meg

and it is plumbed into the dil tank. It is not a bailout solution, just for transition/sanity breaths. I use the omniswiwel for hose routing and/or a quickconnect to give me options

Omniswivel
Quick disconnect for BOV or second stage regulator.
