As I said before I have low hours on breathers.
I have had a " gentle" , caustic cocktail and for anyone who has had one , its a bloody big wa kke up call, your RB diving career is before CC and then after CC.
So I am on high alert when on aloop.
Jvogt, assessment seems to me to be honest and concise.
If I had a SW , with my CC experience , I would plumb a t piece into the inhale hose after the scrubber connected to a small counterlungs to act as a water trap , easy , Cheap, still reliable.
As far as the SW , being overrated ,
I am poor, so never driven a high performance car.
In m y youth I had a ducati bike, t h at had t h e power to Wei g ht r a Rio of a Ferrari.
So I have some idea how rewarding a top car would be to drive.
In my youth I lost my licence for a y ear from being a bit of a ratbag.
Now I a m quite content just to have a licence and any relireliaable vehicle.
The best car in the world is a hire car , you can flog it and give it back.
I see fellas with experience on top end breathers who downsize to a SW , a n d don t see it as a backward step, it is what iit is.
reVo gurgling,
The 1950 s dc55 breather has t h e simple cure.
On this breather the dsv HAS NO CHECKVALVES
The check valves are located where the breathing hoses connect to the counterlungs.
So no fluid can exit the exhale lung and go back up t h e hose and gurgle.
Unlike single hose pendulum system , there is no residual co2 in in inhale hose
