Causes of Sticky Inflator Button

[buddhasummer]

I used to be over zealous and noticed I was washing away lube and inflator button got twitchy, I changed my regime a little and now no issues.

Mine soaks as long as my regs do
I work the buttons and dry thoroughly

I run a hose with running water through inflator, fill wing, dump out pressing deflator button, then re full wing and use rear dump, the third and final time I re fill wing and dump pressing both inflator and deflator buttons at the same time. Of course I swish water around in wing. Partially inflate and hang to dry.

The reason for the recall because of corrosion!!!
High grade SS! You must be joking.

The recall was for machining tolerance issues. No mention of corrosion. If you had first hand excess corrosion experience with a Halcyon precision inflator with the stainless button,I suggest you review your washing process.

Jesus, I nearly had a stroke...

Although the SS one is more reasonable, LMAO...

One AA titanium inflator vs 14 generic ones...hmm

Guess if I was rich I might just coz, but how much precision does one need?

 

[buddhasummer]

I'm bored.

Out of curiosity @divezonescuba how easy is it to service and does it use readily available O rings etc or does it require a proprietary AA service kit? And if so, how much is that kit? Thank you.

Can't believe I'm actually even starting down this road, mad I tell you.
