It was something else that was said that was all wrong, I forgot what it is now, but it is not any of this or any of what you have said here or below it. -----Original Message----- From: Martin.Goldberg@hy*.co*.au* [mailto:Martin.Goldberg@hy*.co*.au*] Sent: Sunday, September 02, 2001 9:43 PM To: techdiver@aquanaut.com Subject: RE: Mares Regs-DIR? >Apeks sell a plug - then just use the other standard port for the long >hose, this hi flow stuff is for the birds. 1) There are a number of ways you can use or set them up. 2) You can buy different 1st stages as well. 3) You can buy adaptors, hoses, make stuff yourself, it's up to you. 4) George, this is my experience with these regs. I apologise if I have stated incorrect information. You can use either the Higher flow port or the standard port for the long hose. I can't tell the difference in flow. To attached the long hose to the Higher flow port you "can" use an adaptor for the right shoulder post first stage or make up a new hose with the right fittings. For the back up reg you use the normal port (since the first stage is pointing the other way) with a normal hose or you can buy an adaptor for the Apeks hose. If the post states any incorrect information then please find the correct information from somewhere else.

Shit canned my Posidion POS regs last month - Now have 4 Apeks ( 1 * TX100 3 * TX40 ) best thing I have done. As far as I can determine in water the TX40 and TX100 breathe exactly the same, the only advantage with the TX100 is that you can adjust it so that it emulates the cracking resistance of the Posidion, ( thats useful, now we just need to figure how to get em to free flow randomly ). Another advantage of the Apeks is the size of the feed hole into the HP hose - it is very very small. For a trial I removed the HP hose and let her rip - on a 12L tank the pressure drops 5 Bar / Min. With the Posidion it is more like 40-50 Bar, its going to give me more decision time should that HP hose let go. >Apeks Tx100: Nicer. Has small first stage and is sealed but the high flow >LP port is not an "off the shelf size" so rigging for DIR needs other bits. Apeks sell a plug - then just use the other standard port for the long hose, this hi flow stuff is for the birds. End result - don't think about it buy an Apeks. 2CC's worth. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
