APEKS Regulator Recall Notice

[Daylonious]

For those of you that bought Apeks regs between Feb 2000 and June 2008 -



This is limited to those 2nd stages/octopus that have not undergone an authorized annual service.

It has come to our attention that an incorrectly assembled 2nd stage has been purchased. If you have an Apeks regulator or octopus that has never had an authorized annual service, regardless of how recently purchased, please take the regulator/octopus to your Apeks dealer to be visually inspected.

All Apeks dealers and distributors have been made aware of this issue. Do not dive with the regulator until it has been visually inspected. Apeks apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause. We are dedicated to making the world’s best diving products and ensuring diver safety at all costs.

Is this a different recall than this one?

I believe it is the same one. I heard about it, and the recall is due to a missing retaining ring on the diaphram. You know, one of those things that's not really that important...

I could be wrong though...

It's the same recall - apologies for the repost.
