Subject: Re: Question on Apex's reg?
John,
( I am replying here because I lost your mail)

They said there was a chance of water entering via a too soft exhale
diaphragm, and latter should be replaced with a slightly stiffer one.
I had the problem, did the exchange, to no avail.

Real problem was, whenever swimming left side up, water seeped in by the
edge of the ventury adjustment knob. There was a sharp edge from the
pressuremoulding process left over. I smoothed it with a sharp knife and
honed it down, this worked, together with a new O-ring.
Btw, Apeks say you should do the replacement because of warranty.
There may have been another replacement of which I am currently not
aware.
regards
Matthias
