20 Most Recent Sherwood SR1 Regulator Questions & Answers

Did you have this regulator shipped to you or did you pick it up personally at a scuba store ??

Not likely a dive store or the manufacturer will sell such a part due to liability concerns. That being said, the knob should NOT fall out.
You could contact the place you bought it seeking warranty repair.
Ditto with the manufacturer. If you call Sherwood and describe the problem there's a good chance they will replace the part (in house) at no charge other then postage. However, most manufacturers require annual inspection/overhaul of life support equipment to maintain warranty status.

Your regulator requires servicing as this problem could be caused by either excessive pressure in the LP line to your Reg or the valve in the reg has become defective.

check your down stream valve in your first stage. this may be stuck or the spring may be out.

The front of the regulator should twist off with a little effort then exposing the purge diaphram, check your dry cracking and deteireation, you shoud be able to dismantle the reg and assmeble easily, and when you do get it open lube the piston and diaphram with silicone grease, but not the side you breath from just the mechnical side.

Needs a seal rebuild kit.... They are simple to do, open the regulator up first and check that there isn't any salt or dirt inside

best just to have rebuilt, possibly sand or corrosion inside. dumb question tho, have air in tank right?

At a Sherwood SCUBA dealer? How about that. However just about any brand of a similar item will likely work. OR, you could make your own by sharpening any piece of durable plastic of the appropriate size.

Get thee to a SCUBA store the sells that brand. It's an easy replacement. One thing you could try would be to turn the existing gasket over and see if the unused surface will make a seal. The overflow valve is a CRITICAL safety item on your BCD. Make sure it's
working properly before you use the BCD.

Hi,

I just googled "scuba hoses online" and there's dozens of hits.. Give that a try, as long as you're happy to fit it yourself.
Barring that any dive should have them in stock..

ask them maker for that or google all week, get lucky?

Make and model may help you get an answer.

Try to spray the commercial available mist to lower surface tension in order to avoid build-up of condensed water

it depends on the quality of the mask and it depends on how you stored it (if you leaved it at sunlight, if you washed it thoroughly after using it in the sea...) i have a mid quality mask Mares mask, i have been using about 20 times for snorkeling, then i used it to take diving certifications in pool, then i used it for about other 20 dives in the sea... i always stored it in a dark bag (the mask is now about 8 years old) you can check if you mask is still in good shape, and the silicone has not worn out, in this simple way: just put the mask on your face without straps.. remove all the air inside the mask by inhaling with your nose.. then look at your feet (keep inhaling): if the mask remains on your face you can keep using it

You need to consult with a factory technician. Your life depends on these devices. I am certified in USD Survivair and no one can set those after a rebuild kit without special tools and measuring devices.

They have eight legs and are Cephalopods. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCYQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FCephalopod&ei=EB0FVaWtI8zLsAT30IE4&usg=AFQjCNETlGDK7Bi6L4BhBnDiJq2tqVBCQw&bvm=bv.88198703,d.cWc

Yes...the octopus does exist.

I would say no. The water in the pipe that is above sea level will drop back in the pipe until it reaches sea level. Provided neither end of the pipe whether above or below the sea is blocked the level in the pipe will always find natural sea level so it wont be higher or lower than sea level. So in answer to your question No it wont pour out.
