1987 Oasis EAN36 compatability

[akeegan2]

I still dive my recently-serviced 1987 Oasis regulator. Are there any problems diving EAN36?

Regards,

As long as they clean it and use the proper lubricant. But you should ask the store were you got it serviced. If they say they used silicon then they did not clean it for enriched air use.

When I began diving Nitrox, it was designated NOAA I (32%) and NOAA II (36%). We did nothing special to a reg when we switched to Nitrox, and used silicon for reg lube. I don't remember having died from this, but I'll have to check my old logs.

You only need to clean it if the FO2 is more than 40%.

Did I say O2 clean? No I did not, What condition is the interior of the regulator in? Is there any carbon in the first stage that got by the compress filter? You don't know and I don't know. Teller your supposed to be cylinder O2 tech if you don't know what the history of the equipment is error on the side of caution.
