Anticipate your buoyancy needs and inflate accordingly. If you get a sticky inflator, you don't want rapid inflation, you want as much time as possible to deal with the situation. Slow flow rates also facilitate better fine tuning of buoyancy >What about maintenance, what needs alot and what doesn't? What inflators are >prone to auto-inflate. >Appreciate any feed back. I clean mine about once a year or longer for dry suits. If it is not crisp in operation then it would benefit from a service which is quick and easy to do.

What inflator do you use and why. Do you modify for higher flow? If so, what buoyancy configuration are you using? What about maintenance, what needs alot and what doesn't? What inflators are prone to auto-inflate. Appreciate any feed back.
