> From: Conrad Daubanton <100774.1625@co*.co*> > Does anyone know which part of a Wings/BC unit tends to fail more often? in my 3 years as equipment manager for a university dive club (RPI), the biggest problems we had w/ the BCs was the power inflator. the o-rings would start to degrade due to heavy use and chlorine, and would leak. we'd also get a lot of sand and silt jammed into the buttons, causing more fowling or sticking. surprisingly, we never had any problems with the bladders, OP/dumps, and these were cheap, bladderless jacket type BCs. i would hope that, bar a direct puncture, there would be no problems with a heavy duty wing bladder encased w/ heavy nylon. my biggest concern still is the proper functioning of the power inflator unit. hope that sheds some light. --- Glenn Goettler Liquid Earth geg@li*.co* http://www.liquidearth.com -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
