Mike,

I had a sorb grain stuck under my OPV of the Classic KISS during a dive trip in Italy. The solution was to cut a piece of white hydrophonic foam used in the MK-15, and secure it at the base of the OPV. Gas passes, solid stays...

Never had the same problem again after that...

A hydrophobic membrane over the opv would prevent you clearing water from the CL so flood recovery would be impossible.

Better off using stainless mesh

membrane stopped coctail. all water expelled via opv loop recovered but wob a little high due to wet sorb - still scrubbed but easier to go oc as had plenty of gas. likely scr would have been possible. quite impresed with boris loop flood recovery - no coctail no water or even a gurgle after recovery. just stayed horizontl and flushed lungs to open opv flush water out.

Hi Mike, glad to hear that getting rid of the water was easy. Not being so familiar with Boris, the OPV is adjustable, right? I'm guessing it's not accessible during the dive and if so, how do you know what setting to leave it at during set up? Thanks, -Andy

Hi Mike,

Glad you manage to get some dives done after the lousy days we had. When did you manage to get the first decent dive?

Cheers,

OK, I have no idea where the OPV is placed on the Boris...

Dome expansion is an issue, mine failed the neg loop big time, solution was a bigger O ring (from the factory). I've never had an issue with the OPV but tried to prevent anything from ever happening with the membrane which stops the sofnolime getting to the exhale lung and the OPV, boody expensive just for that but I hear the membrane is hydrophobic too

Hi Phil - nice to meet you.

The day you left we got into Russel - great conditions, clear viz from entrance. Spent the rest of the time at Russel
