I just bought a used Atomic Z2 set and excited to give it a dive. But had a couple of questions.
Here is the set.
Questions:
1. I don't have a tank handy. But noticed when I take a breath on either 2nd stage I can draw air in and hear air coming from the other 2nd? Is this normal? It seems like the other regs I have had will barely breathe tankless and certainly not pulling in from the other 2nd but I could be wrong... Maybe I never noticed?
2. Having never had a 1st stage with a bottom port I had a question about hose routing.
I dive with my hose lengths and octo like this picture.
And I switched out the installed Atomic hoses with my current set and have them currently configured like this.
I have a DSS SS plate and LCD 30 BC will the routing out the bottom port with the 1st pointed down cause a problem with clearance?
3. I'm thinking about switching the purge cover only from the yellow octo to the grey primary. Even though I talk to my buddies before hand I'd just assume have yellow match my donating reg. How the heck do I take off the purge covers?
4. Kind of in the same vein as question three. Is there even any difference between the gray primary 2nd and the yellow octo 2nd other than color? If they are internally the same I may buy another gray color kit.
Thanks SB!
