<div dir="ltr">Thanks Alan. I haven't got the regulator in hand yet so am having trouble visualizing the details. BTW changing topics back to the previous discussion of the digital pressure gauge, I do have that one in hand and meant to add a follow-up with a limitation I've found. For some reason, the digital display on that is really hard to read from anywhere but eye level. It's like one of those "anti-peeping tom" plastic sheets you can get for laptop screens to prevent the guy in the plane seat next to you from reading your screen. If space doesn't permit it to be mounted right at eye level, that instrument is probably not the way to go. Fortunately I do have the space to put it right in front of the pilot's face in the CT.<div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br>Alec</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Sep 30, 2015 at 2:51 PM, Alan James via Personal_Submersibles <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="color:#000;background-color:#fff;font-family:HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif;font-size:16px"><div><span></span></div><div><span>Alec, Cliff,</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span>there is the vent hole in the handle section & there is the small relieving valve.</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span>Water will come in the vent hole & enter the handle section.</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span>My concern was that if the regulator wasn't mounted upside down then you would</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span>have water sitting up against the relieving valve.

I mounted mine horizontally for clearance reasons. My thinking is that I set the downstream pressure to be just above ambient pressure. So when descending the regulator should be supplying air just above water pressure. Don't see any chance for water entering the vent hole in this state. When ascending, air should be venting from the hole so don't see how water gets in during this state as well. So I don't see a state in which water is going into the vent hole. </div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>As I have had only one dive with this regulator can't really say to much on operating experience. </div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>When I get back from Australia, I plan to take the boat out for a 150 ft dive so I should get more experience with the regulator then.</div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>Regards Cliff<br clear="none"><br clear="none"><br clear="none"><div>Cliff Redus</div></div><div><br><br></div><div><div><br clear="none">On Sep 30, 2015, at 8:30 AM, Alec Smyth via Personal_Submersibles <<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> wrote:<br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="ltr">Thank you!
