I have a rather perplexing problem with an Apeks Tek 3 1st stage. I use this 1st stage in conjunction with a ScubaPro S600 second stage on my doubles. The right post 1st stage is the problem, the other regulator is fine. They are basic diaphragm regulators. I got them from a friend in Oct. I serviced them back in Dec. The former owner never reported any problems. While in FL, the 2nd stage started lightly free flowing towards the end of the week. It was exhibiting the symptoms of a creeping IP problem, because when I would purge the regulator, the 2nd stage would stop free flowing for about a minute, then slowly resume. When I got home, I checked it out & confirmed the IP creep from 135PSI to over 160, at which point the second stage started leaking as I had observed. I changed out the HP seat & stem O-ring. I set the IP at a solid/ steady 135 psi again. I took the regulator back down to FL in March & by the end of the week, once again, the IP creep & the light 2nd stage free flow was back. I just put another HP seat & stem O-ring & so far, it is steady. Any idea what is going on? Why is it steady, until a week of heavy use, then starts leaking. Each time I service it, I cycle the regulator 300- 400 times to try to make sure the bugs are worked out. I serviced the left post regulator also in Dec. & had no problems. I've looked them both over in comparison & can not see anything obvious. I just can't seem to figure out what may be going on.
