I Have a Hollis HD-100, like the BC a lot, fits good, looks good, works great,
But sometimes as I press the inflater button it sounds like a surge of water gets
pushed into BC.

Note : I am not using LP hose that came with Hollis BC, But using one from my
Mares BC, Could this be the problem ? or can you think of any other reason ?

Note2: All seals are checked
Also I realize that there is always a small amount of water in BC, Just seems like
there is a excessive amount.

Thanks in advance, love your product.

When I do a manual inflate, I always get some water in my BC. Same will sometimes occur when I deflate and hold the button or string too long. That water usually finds its way to the corrugated hose and bubbles away when I use the power inflator. If my weight is correct, I usually end up with a little in the BC. If not, I'm likely a bit overweighted.
