Nitrox Wear On BCD's

[The Chairman]

So do I now need to have my drysuit O2 cleaned?

Only when you fart!

Only when you fart!

Oxygen, fuel----well you get the picture. I guess it depends on the % methane?

So what's the heat capacity of argon vs. methane?
On a cost analysis, a can of beans costs less than a 6 cubit ft fill of argon...:headscratch:

 

[The Chairman]

Methane at least starts out warmer!

Get your BC serviced everytime you switch from air to nitrox? Sounds like the "Wash, Rinse and repeat" on Shampoo bottles!$$$$$$$$

I think I might need to see it before I believe it...

The manual really says it needs to be O2 cleaned? I might take the time to contact that manufacturer on that one. That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. I could understand if perhaps some of the o-rings/gaskets/valves they used were prone to oxidation and needed to be swapped - but o2 cleaned? Gimme a break.

Now, now, read the whole thread.

The manual said serviced. We just took it to its logical :w-t-f: conclusion.

I thought this thread was a troll until I checked out the Mares website and whump, there it is: http://www.mares.com/download.php?id=3187

I guess there's a reason I don't own any of their gear.
