<div>Alan,</div><div>I will run them for a while and decide what to do. I like my air valves on E3000, just not all the crap that goes with them to work. I can make oil filled enclosures easy enough also. I am planning a 250 foot dive Sunday and will see how they work. </div><div>Hank</div><div><br></div>

<div><div id="yiv4483126075">My no holds barred solution would be to use one of the electronically enhanced 24 VDC solenoids for the lowest possible current draw / best electrical behaviour, to supply the pilot pressure to an air operated valve. This inherently provides a backup mechanism that doesn't depend on electricity if you also plumb air to that pilot line via a manual valve.<br><br>Sean<br><br><br>-------- Original Message --------<br>On Apr 16, 2019, 15:18, Alan via Personal_Submersibles < <a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="yiv4483126075protonmail_quote"><br><div><div></div><div>Hank,</div><div>yes you were lucky lol.</div><div>You got the direct acting which I thought started at a minimum of 24V.</div><div>I would pull one apart & see what can rust though.</div><div>Even the navy solenoids that Sean linked to need a bit of modification,</div><div>as the solenoids were rated to 15ft underwater.</div><div>Cheers Alan</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br>On 17/04/2019, at 9:04 AM, hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles <<a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank" href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div class="yiv4483126075ydp985f51b0yahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"><div></div>
