New equipment

[Achtung]

Hi jason.

At point did it flow? Were you just breathing it and all of a sudden it started flowing, or were you purging it praticing OOA or something? You would be the first person I know with an Apeks flow problem. GI3 has been saying that the regs quality was going down since US divers bought them. Also if your reg is fairly new, there is a documented problem with some people finding metal shavings in the first stage. If one of these shaving gets caught on the seat you will get a flow.

The only way to get the shaving out are by taking it apart.

Remember the Tx-50 has two levels that control reg. You can always dial it back. If you have them wide open and purge the reg, they will flow until you flip the lever back.

As far as IPs on the apeks, GI3 recommends them to be set at 120.
