Quattro leak rate?

Post by mboy » Mon Nov 02, 2009 10:33 am

Ok, update from my last thread (for those that remember),. I was having some major leak issues with my Full life mask.

I now have a Quattro and a MIrage Ultra.

So far (2 nights), the Quattro seems to be better for me).
Does anyone have the leak rates for the Quattro? I could not find in the online manual. Just the flow rates. I bought mine in package, no box or manual.

Seems to be leaking less then my Full life, but I am getting a small leak down by my chin.

I can hear the noise of a leak, but when I put my finger right on it, all becomes very quiet leading me to believe I am stopping the small leak.

My pressure is high- Min 17-max 20cm, so controlling leaks is now my #1 concern and issue.

Thanks.

Looks like you're about 50 l/m.

Keep in mind the Quattro is subject to the nose swivel leak. Search "teflon fix" for more info.
