Where do people go for parts?

[Wibble]

Divers venturing into CCRs should understand the complexities of training and service requirements.

You do sound like a fortune cookie...

"None"? In the US, I can order any Poseidon Se7en part I want, and I do emphasize any. There are a couple of places to order, but Dive Gear Express is my normal go to place, just hard to beat their service !

Sounds like Tracy and vicko are two more in the pile of people spreading false rumours about poseidon.

I wonder why it's like that? Everyone can't be angry about old customer service being bad.

Just my experience with the P2 head, had a bad wire dongle on the HUD side, sent to shop on a Tuesday, went off to Husih, back to shop by following Tuesday which included 5-year head service. All good.

@wetb4igetinthewater just curious, what is actually worn out? Is it the actual delrin T-fitting?

It would appear you are correct. I just had a look. While DGX has had Poseidon regulator parts for many years, they did not used to have CCR parts online. The last time one came in for service, it was a nightmare to get any parts.

Jim,

I highlighted in red the part that is worn, stripped. Yes, it is the actual delrin. I'm not a fan of delrin on metal, especially as I had my BP delrin thumbscrew fail on getting out of the water. I have been very gentle in screwing the hose back in, but I have done it too many times in my anal retentiveness for cleaning. I should have realized that this would be a worsening issue by my own experience of metal on plastic/delrin. I am speaking to someone about drilling out the part and putting in a metal thread connection. But that's a long term solution.

@wetb4igetinthewater Ah...being slightly color deficient, red doesn't show up very well on dark background. I see. Interesting. Unless there's an aluminum or stainless t-fitting, there's always going to be some delrin/metal interface. Not sure why the existing adapter insert would be turning as the low-pressure hose from the block is only finger tight.

That will burn.

He might want to invest in a self-immolation kit too.
