Hi,

Coudl any one tell me if it is possible to place a poseidon jet stream reg with it being an up stream design on a non poseidon 1st stage - reason I ask is Girlfriends ocotpus had a slight accident and I have a spare jetstream...

Cheers

As long the interstage pressure is between 8.5-9.0 bar on her first stage there should be no problems.

The Jetstream is designed to operate at 10 bar / 145 psi max, which falls within the range of most 1st stages (130-145 psi), so it should work fine. If you had a Cyclon, it would be a different story, as they require bar 12.5 / 170 - 180 psi. Since the Jetstream is an upstream design, make sure the lp hose contains a pressure relief valve in case the 1st stage fails. This will prevent the hose from bursting. If it has a Poseidon hose with the 'odd' size fitting at the 2nd stage end, you should be covered. The jetstream, with its servo-assisted valve, is an excellent breather.

I don;t know about this IP. As I recall, Poseidon IP increasesas the tank pressuredecreases and I would think that the second stages function with that in mind. I am sure it would work, but you might be better off spending the minimal amount of money on cheap well performing octo (i.e.- sherwood magnum style)
