This is why you get your regs serviced

[Stephen McMullan]

Last serviced 11 months ago. Washed after every dive

I really need to get mine done... been too long!! *shame*

[Stephen McMullan]

Scary thing is that yesterday I tried three regs before I found one that "worked" and guess what it was the one that was full of salt. That was my bailout reg for 40mins bottom time @ 32m and 10mins of stops

[Andy_HFC]

Yikes.

[Stephen McMullan]

Gleaming!!!!

Thats a Sunday evening well spent...

Hesuus 

No sign of the vino and popcorn this time around? 

[Stephen McMullan]

Not this time Aaron. Its O2 cleaning time. Notice I'm using my best tea towel.

[David Mellon]

how many stage\bailout regs have you got Stephen??

[Stephen McMullan]

A suit bottle reg, a reg for backup 02 aka oh shit bottle, bailouts left and right and two for drop sets in the boat.

Everything O2 clean and interchangeable. I'd have no problem filling my suit cylinder with pure 02 and breathing it through the suit reg.

Everything is kept at as high a quality as I can make it.

[David Mellon]

I've twinset regs... suit bottle reg and 3 deco/stage regs all serviced and ready to go thanks to George in lambay...
still feel I need another deco reg... it never stops does it...

[Andy_HFC]

I wish i knew how to service my own regs, i'd be more likely to do it then!

[Stephen McMullan]

I think thats my point. It doesn't matter whether you're a kitchen sink cowboy like myself or a professionally approved service tech like George @ Lambay. It is important that your regs and cyl valves are in good working order no matter how the job gets done. I see lads spending big money on courses and suits and wings but perhaps not on maintenance. A case of out of sight out of mind perhaps?

iv a different approach 

i sell my regs every 2 years . this means  I get new regs for the price I sell off the old ones with the price of 1 service trown in .
