DS4 on a CCR Dolphin question.

ebon.hawk · 6th June 2006, 22:18

Another question for those who have converted their Dolphins to CCR.

If you have used an Apeks DS4 first stage, have you brought the O2 clean version or just used a standard DS4 ?

Thanks
Andy

Hi Andy.

I just bought the standard version and cleaned it, but if you are in doubt you should probably get the O2 cleaned version (to have peace in your mind) :-)

I cleaned my own. Might as well learn to do it now. I like to clean and service annually.

Did you learn this by following manuals, or someone showing you on a course ?

Followup question that I just thought of, what sort of servicing are people doing with their Sports / Classic KISS models on the first stages ? Sending them away to be serviced / cleaned professionally or servicing the parts themselves ( as its covered by their unit training course ???? )

I'm guessing AP and Boris units go back to the factory for servicing ?

Sorry if I'm raising numpty questions.....

33 hours to Canada, can I trade you my 5 hours till the emergency dentist ( who I just know isn't going to give me an injection AGAIN and just start drilling ! )

I clean my own stuff.

Actually I am certified to service aqualung and Apex, but I would probably do it anyways

There are plenty of good resources out there on how to do it.

Servicing my own stuff for me -was an important thing to be able to do -It gives _me_ peace of mind, at least I _know_ what has been done to my lifesupport-equipment.

But that's maybe just me...

Hi Andy.

O2 cleaning is included in some (most?) Gasblender Courses.
I know that both TDI and CMAS gasblending courses include this.
