Hello all..
I have Beuchat VR200 Evo Regulators. (DIN)
When I rinse them, due to them being din, I use my finger to cover the opening to the first stage when I dunk them in the water.
I then leave the second stages to soak with the first stage out of the water.
While washing equipment I came back to find my regulators had been knocked into the bucket, I quickly attached them to a tank, and turned the air on while purging both regulators (with the benefit of hindsight, i forgot to unattach the HP Hose and SPG)
My SPG now has water droplets all around, it has been used on a few dives since and seems to be working fine, however I am aware that it will most likely break sooner rather than later.
My questions are:
1. Can I just take my SPG apart, empty the water and it will be okay, or has the damage been done?
2. Should I just buy a new SPG?
3. Is my first stage OK?
(the first stage is my main concern at this point.
Regards,
James
