Apex 50 Atx

Can Anyone Advise? I Was Just Ice Diving In 33 Degree Water With A Apex 50 Atx And After 7 Minutes It Started To Free-flow And I Just Got It Service At The Dive Shop.

is your ip cranked down to around 130psi ?

Thanks For The Infor. I Believe It Wasn't. What Do Think Of A Sherwood Blizzard?

 

[artek]

i don t know anything about sherwoods, i dive only apeks. i had mine in 37-39 degree water , never a problem. for cold water diving intermediate pressure needs to be detuned.

Did you breath the regulator above the water before the dive?

Never had a problem with mine, have the shop check the IP. Too high,, no good for cold, I can't imagine anything else would be wrong with it.

A perfect example of what they are saying above on the Intermediate Pressure is that for the colder water Aqualung Legend LX Supreme, it comes with the IP set to 130psi verses the regular Legend LX being at about 150psi. It comes at 130psi for the colder water.

1) TURN OFF YOUR CAPS LOCK

2) If you just got it serviced, bring your Apeks ATX50 back to the shop.

I have heard different info before...
The atx has free flow issues that tx or xtx does not have, maybe tx, xtx and atx users can comment on this. Again, this is just what I've heard of, need to verify.

The ATX50 has no "freeflow issues." I had my ATX50/DS4s down to 160 ft of 36-37 degree water all winter without a single incident.
