Hi guys, long term reader of the forum, but this is my first post so please go easy on me….
i was hoping for some advice
backstory: my regs are serviced every year by a friend and dive shop owner back in Ireland, but for now i am in Saudi Arabia with no Apeks tecs here, and i have very little trust for some of the dive shops when it comes to servicing.
i have never been trained in regulator service, but i am technically minded and i am a professional mechanical technician on various systems including balanced pneumatic systems.
i have a set of apeks regs with a free flow only on 1 second stage….
i have checked the IP and its perfect at 9 BAR, however my reg continues to free flow… if i adjust the lever hight by adjusting the Allen key where the hose attaches to the reg, i can stop the free flow, but the lever is soo low the purge button doesn’t work and the reg doesn’t breathe nice….
has anyone seen this before??
Thanks
