I have recently started using an MK20 on my right post. On my last three dives, whenever I reach 40-45 feet and add air to my BC, the inflator button freezes open. >> It is quite unlikely that the MK20 has anything to do with the problem you are having with your inflator. The MK20 is not the best regulator in the world for use in near-freezing water. However, the new composite piston may change that. In any case, if it was a first stage problem your second stage regulator would have been freeflowing. A freeflowing inflator indicates ice in the inflator valve. You probably had water in the valve before you started the dive or you had too much water in your fill. Make sure that your inflator is dry before the dive. Blow some air through it to dry it in a warm environment. Make sure your air is dry. Dive safely, Dale -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
