Hello Richard:

I could not agree with you more.  Last year, while servicing one of my =
stainless regs, that are rinsed thoroughly after each dive, of all =
things I found "rust".  Not the type you find on ordinary metal but just =
enough to really mess up O-ring seals and piston walls.  Since then I =
have changed my regs, they all have environmental kits.  An ounce of =
prevention, perhaps.  Sounds like somethine else we've been hearing =
about around here. =20

I use the SPEC kit on all my SP regulators, and I only dive in tropical=20
waters.  It keeps saltwater outside of the spring chamber and greatly=20
reduces corrosion.
