A little help troubleshooting SI-Tech dump valve

[Matt S.]

Even with my suit at its worst, I get a wet arm and damp chest. It's become irritating but I reckon it's still better than a wetsuit, even if I have to put it on the dryer when I get home.

I found my aquarium sealant and went to town. When I looked closely, there seemed to be a tiny remnant of sealant on the port. By disassembling the valve and not reassembling it with sealant months ago, I may have made things worse. Live and learn.

I'll know more tomorrow after work, doing 2 tanks at Three Tree North. Fingers crossed... Thanks again.

One thing to try with your Si Tech dump is if it is fully open, click it back half a turn. It really seems to solve a lot of the issues with the exhaust valve.

I've been running it mostly closed, then backed off a half turn or so.

Hey, nice drysuits, saw them at the Underwater Sports tent sale. My friend who is a picky Type A guy said he thought your suits looked great.
