Subject: Re: Poseidon regulators
Cyklon 16 years now 
Spares needed : One diaprhagm , one pushrod assy.,second stage
one diaphragm , to O rings, first stage.
Odin 3 yrs, no spares till now, gotta know how to adjust it.
overall failures ( ca. 900 dives with these) :none.

German Navy prefers the cyklon to the odin, because of its better valve
seat, they use it in a amagnetic titanium version now.

The Odin has 4 times the delivery capacity than the Apex tx 50/ 100. The
latter , though,offers less initial intake resistance, and is a good
choice as well. 
I do not like what scubapro says in their repair manual , like the "D
400 is not yet at its full potential".

So they mean to say , it is not fully thought through yet  ?
