I picked up an old style (late 90's) brut regulator, had it "serviced" by a local shop, and it is bleeding air from a relief valve on the bottom of the first stage. I was just wondering if this was some sort of weird safety thing, or if I should go with my gut and have it serviced by a different shop? It is letting air escape as soon as air is hooked up to it, I can cover the hole and it seems to stop leaking. I have done several shallow dives on it without incident, but I am a bit nervous to keep using it.
Just wanted to know if this is the way it is supposed to work or not. I would like to trust the shop who serviced it but recently had my confidence shaken when they failed to fix an issue I was having with my BC, and then latter fixed it after selling me a new inflator valve.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
