Dear Members,
I recently took a management position in a dive center and while reviewing the equipment, realized the very bad shape of it. I then started servicing the regs ( aqualung calypso and the previous model ). So far I've done only two, first stage and second stage, and came across some oil residues in one of them, on the crown orifice (100128) and the inlet fitting (124506) of the second stage to be precIse. It smelled like my old friend's garage... I couldn't open the dry chamber of the first stage cause I'm missing a tool.
Could that be caused by bad air from the cylinder ? Should I be concerned about the quality of the compressor, filters, compressor attendant ? Moreover, if the oil got to the second stage, I would guess the hoses are also contaminated ?
The good thing is, we don't have any customers right now as it is very low season, so I'll be able to get all those fixed when they start coming.
Thanks for your feedback.
