Hi guys,
Last week I did my first dive with my Scubapro MK25(DIN)/S600/R195 regulator set.
After the dive I put my regulator system in a basin with fresh water from the tap in order to clean in from the salty water. The DIN dust cap, which is just a screw in cap, was in place on my first stage during the cleaning and I'm sure I never pressed the purge button on my second stage and octopus, but the system was depressurised. After I dried the regulator set I put it in my bag and today, exactly one week later, I opened the dust cap on my first stage and realised there is water in my first stage.
I removed all hoses and find out there is water on the treads and inside the low pressure and high pressure chambers as well. According to the manual no water should go inside the regulator system during the regular maintenance after dive. I have no explanation how the water get inside since I followed all the procedures stated in the manual.
Could you please advise me, what to do now and how severe the damage could be? My regulator set is brand new, one dive only.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
