Anyone have a 1st gen. Healthways Scuba parts diagram or repair manual. Didn't see one in the M&C section. Didn't really need a HW Scuba but I now have one so I figure I might as well fix it up to play with. Thanks. Mark
That's what I was thinking. Any reason not to just weld a piece of metal over the opening where #28 fits and install a duck-bill on the horn? Or is there some pressure-related reason for having a rubber diaphram of some sorts?simonbeans wrote: ↑Thu Aug 02, 2018 5:18 pmThe exhaust diaphragm (#28) is the Achilles heel of that regulator. Most everybody just seals off the opening in the can where #28 should go and use a duckbill of sorts. The next model, SCUBA DELUXE, went to a good mushroom valve design.

I have had good success with this method.I'd really like to discuss the casting process for an exhaust diaphragm with you. Having a mold made will cost far too much for the 2 dozen diaphragms you'd sell, so I'd love to see some solutions...
BT has already figured that out. It involves the upper part of panty hose, liquid silicone, an oring and a pissed-off wife. Just saying.
