Hello everyone
i am currently a TDI Extended Range diver and i am considering purchasing a decompression regulator for a stage tank. i was looking at the apeks xtx50 o2 cleaned regulator.
i believe that DIR divers tend to steer towards apeks. Is this a good choice? i hope in the future to be a trimix diver, would this reg be suitable for decompressing with some helium in the deco mix? how often would i need to get it o2 cleaned?
Does any body else use this reg for deco? also any infomation or opinions from tech divers will be greatly appreciated. Also why do some websites offer this in an a clamp version? surely din 300 bar is better? why is the a clamp the same privce as the din?
i believe that there is not much difference between the xtx 50, 100 and 200 and since the 50 is slightly cheaper i would opt for this.
Also does the pressure gauge (SPG) have to be o2 cleaned?
on one website it says perfect for photographeres, surely they would not use >40% O2 as a primary mix?
Tanks for your time
any opinions will be greatly appreciated.
