Partial Flood on the rEvo

divernate · 20th June 2008, 21:47

Good news!!! I took my rEvo out and did a combined runtime of 120 minutes without incident. I have minimal freshwater in the inhale lung, normal amount. It is a lot easier to seal the canister lid now. Thanks to Robin for his help in troubleshooting this "problem". And thanks to Paul R. for making such a wonderful unit!

Pheew, one of my fears - a caustic. Glad youre well and not scared off.

I on purpose go heads down once in a while and breathe in very carefully to try and catch any flooding before it surprises me.
Have never had one yet :-)

I do however allways have a very wet moisture pad, but its allways fresh-water so its form the sorb-reaction and condensation. It may sound weird but I allways carefully taste the water from each lung to detect any salt-traces. Again none yet.

Get back on the rig, and enjoy.

I too taste that water to be certain!

Could you post a pic of what it should look like? No problems here but I'd like to see what to look for during my assembly and pre dive. Always looking to learn something new.Thanks.

normally the central treaded bars should be +/- 6mm higher then the sides of the canister

the bars were positioned in such a way that when the canister was placed on a flat surface it would sit flat. With my canisters they wont sit flat as the bar is protruding out of the bottom
