... is it a well made unit?

Hello!

The HH CCR is out for, i think, 1 1/2 years. Are there any issues on the unit?
I think the list is short, is it?

Regards Anton

Anton:

There probably are different issues for each HH owner. As a rule it sounds like most of us are happy, although most of us have been doing our own tweaking to this or that, like most Rebreather divers do regardless of brand. It's a realitively new product but supply issues appear to be working out. Still issues with tank mounts (w/o going outside the USA) for example, but nothing HUGE.

The thing that is impressive (to me) is that everyone knows the people responsible for the HH are participating in these forums, so we know they are hearing issues that do show up. It's also nice that their general tone is not overly defensive. I'm assume that is happening with other RBs, but don't see often see it.

Guess you've got the electronics and the actual rebreather to consider when you ask your question. Doesn't sound like the new electronics are getting the same bashing as the older versions and I don't hear anyone fussing about the rebreather itself.

Would probably be helpful to look at the HH Rebreather Forum for all of the issue discussions.

Regards,

Bill

Its a great unit, well made, no junk parts, the only issue ive had is with cells not the unit. Its easy to set up and tear down for cleaning. And service has been exceptional to date. Hope this helps

I've had the unit almost 6 months now and had virtually no problems with the hardware or the electronics. I REALLY like it a lot!

I dive the newest HH electronics on my Mark 15.5, and I have had no trouble with them. This was not the case with the old acrylic handsets, or the earlier metal ones (I did have some issues with those that Kevin was always good about sorting out). The new delrin handsets are very nice. They are comfortable, easy to maintain, and I have done many hours of deep diving with the new system.

If I didn't have a Mk 15.5, I'd be diving a HH rebreather

Aloha,
