What are some consumer tips for buying a regulator?

Check the Manufacturer's Warranty on Regulators

It is vital that your dive regulator functions properly. While a cracked seal on a mask is a discomfort, a malfunctioning regulator can be lethal.

Before buying a regulator, check the manufacturer's warranty. What level of repair does it provide? Can you get the regulator serviced? Where do you send the regulator for maintenance?

Make sure you use an authorized dealer for servicing and repair. Ask the technician or service center to take the regulator apart and check each component for corrosion and wear.

Make sure that the regulator is tuned to manufacturer's specifications and then tested for proper functioning.
