Newbie jumped off the boat before I was clear. Had to use my arm to protect my brain. No Zulu, bye watch.

Does anybody know an online seller of these filters? Would like to keep one or two spare. Thanks. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

This one is flat on both sides. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

I have checked with the Mares agent here. They have said cleaning the filter as I did is okay, but just keep an eye on performance. I have taken off all the hoses and there is no sign of salt water. I have looked into it from other guys and cleaning a filter is fine. It is simple to remove and...

That's along the lines of what I initially thought. Been soaking in vinegar and is looking fine. Will rinse, dry an insert. Thanks. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk ---------- Post added January 11th, 2016 at 11:53 AM ---------- I would think brass cleaner would totally destroy block...

Only the filter gets soaked. Not the regulator. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk ---------- Post added January 10th, 2016 at 11:49 PM ---------- The back was corrosion free and a few hours in white vinegar seems to be showing results. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

I have had regulators before that have looked a lot worse than that prior to going for servicing. Especially the one I used when I first started diving and had serviced on a yearly basis. Speaking today to a few of the old salts, that have been diving for 30 years was interesting. They say that...

I will probably end up removing the filter and checking it out. As well as all the hoses to get a look in. If all looks okay I will wait until it is due for a service, and keep an eye out for any loss of performance. One thing I would be interested to know if these filters can be ultrasonicly...

Its Mares. MR22T. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

I have a suspicious feeling this might have occurred on my dive trip a few months ago. Now that I think about it, the divemaster changed my tanks a few times. Regarding rented tanks, I would think that one bad tank could do it? Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

I do not blow the dust cap to ensure no mist can get into the first stage. I wipe it with a wet wipe, and then dry it with a towel. My other two regs still have perfectly clean filters. I have always done it this way. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

I do not think it is my after dive cleaning, as I have a few regulator sets and my oldest one, has been used for over 2 years without any sign of corrosion on the filter. My first thought was that the dust cover is not sealing correctly when I rinse. It seems it is made of a much harder...

Probably will use my other set and get this one serviced. A few photos, Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

I have noticed a bit of green corrosion on the inlet filter of my first stage. The regulator works perfectly. Probably done 30 dives on it. I know this is probably due you water getting in. Is there anyway of cleaning the corrosion off the filter? Alternatively, do I need to get replaced? It...

I have never had any issues with my abyss. Also, they have a 2 year 200 dive service interval, so if I need to pay a bit more, it does not really bother me. And a full set up with a rover octopus mr22t first stage and a pressure gauge was less than 400 dollars. Reviews are good. No issue. Sent...

Thanks for the replies. I will check the IP. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

So a year ago I got a great deal on two Mares first stages. They have the two year 200 dives service interval. I use one and the other is still sealed in the box. Never used. If I decided to use it, in say three years, would it need to be serviced or inspected, or could it still be seen as...

Always soaked overnight. Never had a problem. Usually soak every piece of equipment overnight, including bcd which I fill with fresh water. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

I always used to soak my regs overnight in fresh water at home after a dive, as well as leaving them in fresh water while showing at the dive shop. Now apparently this is totally wrong. Now there is a piece of wood over the reg rinse spot at the dive shop. First stage must now get rinsed...
