My friend and I went diving and he used my Poseidon BC. When rinsing the bladder he unscrewed the dump valves and now i can't get them to seal properly. Is there supposed to be a rubber flap connected to the plastic part where the spring is attached? If so it is gone on both dump valve areas. If anyone has a link to a parts list it would help. Thanks

I checked three other brands of BCs and they all have some sort of rubber to seal the valve.
 
Not sure where the support is, but let me try to answer

Most dump valves look like this one

On the Poseidon the 'rubber disc' is actually clear... so it could be difficult to find if it came out.

It is about 2mm thick and 41mm across, it fits inside the plastic bit with the knot

I'm not certain if just that part is sold separately, but the entire dump valve is $27.25
 
I just took the fill hose off my w50; it too had a a"O ring" like the one described above. So if they're not there I think your in trouble.
