I vaguely remember reading that when rinsing or soaking your 2nd stage, you should not press the purge button if the regulator is not pressurized, so as not to get water in places where it shouldn't be.
I was recently in my LDS getting the purge diaphram replaced on my Aqualung Titan LX, per their recall. Replacement required a small bit of disassembly that showed I hadn't been rinsing out the regulator well enough, since there was a bit of corrosion inside. The shop guy recommended that while soaking, I should depress the purge button, even if the reg wasn't pressurized.
What's the scoop on good rinsing technique?
