The Triton was supposed to be on the market a long time ago. Early this
year Poseidon changed to the new improved first stage on the Cyklon and
Jetstream (Odin). Their pricelist (here in Sweden) for '94 lists the
Triton and its spare parts. However some kind of problems were found in
the first production run, that had not appeared on the prototypes.
Poseidon has no manufacturing in house, instead they by the components
from sub-suppliers and assemble them here in Gothemburg.
The triton is sensitive to changes in the dimensions of the components
because there are no adjustments on the second stage, they assembels the
parts and tests the regulator if it works then is ok of not, well sorry!
Last week I heard that the first tritons had been sold, and that Poseidon
have had their first maintenance course on the new regulator.
The design is very compact. The regulator is a cube with the mouthpice on
the back side, the exhaust on the sides, the purge button on the top, the
inlet svivel on the down side, and the Poseidon patch on the front. The
exhaust is led through two diffusors, and the hose can be sviveled 360
degrees.

The principle is similar to the Jetstream (Odin) with a servo valve and a
silicone "Baloon". But the time allmost all parts are plastic and the
"Baloon" is more like a mushroom controlling the airflow with its foot.
The "mushroom" (chanterelle) is fixed at its hat and inflates through its
foot. When the servo valve is operated by the membrane the mushroom
deflates and lifts its foot to let air in to the mouth.
