i was strictly answering the questions - no comments at all about denseness, especially pertaining to p-valves. they seem so mysterious at first, and i'm still learning things 2 years later...

So true! Anyway, have a phenomenal day! Thanks!
 
Hey, 10 years ago this thread wouldn't be in the Basic Scuba Discussions Forum.

What am I saying, five years ago it wouldn't have been here. :eyebrow:

We've come a long way....
 
For disinfection I think hydrogen peroxide should do the trick, it eats anything organic, shouldn't damage any internals of a valve. Take a mouthful and blow through the tubing. What do you think?
 
Rubbing alcohol is cleaner and is better for disinfecting than peroxide. I use a syringe to flush the alcohol through. Not TOO sure I'd want blow the tube with a mouthful of anything, but, hey, you only live once, then you dive again!
 
Trying to troubleshoot my P-valve. The valve was already installed on my dry suit when I purchased it from a fellow diver. There's some flow ( testing with air pressure ) but there seems to be quite a bit of resistance to outward flow. Is this normal or is the valve defective. The diver whom I purchased the dry suit from says that he never used the valve.

Make sure the valve is fully open and there are no kinks. To open valve turn it counter clockwise
