Not sure where to post this. My BCD, bought used in 2005 is still the only one I've had. Though it is now a piece of crap, it's still functional, no doubt due to my OCD in rinsing. 2 questions:
-- I dump as much of the salt water out after my last dive of the day.
-- I rinse the inside by adding a little baby shampoo with the ton of fresh water.
- obviously this has worked.
The questions are:
1. Why isn't emptying the salt water and using baby shampoo mentioned when there are threads on rinsing?
I think I read somewhere about the shampoo, but not the salt water dumping.
2. I have read that you should dump all the rinse water to insure the inside is dry, particularly if storing for a while. I would think the inside never gets dry because there is nowhere for the water/dampness to evaporate.
Am I correct?
