Apex XTX200 stupid question

[radman]

Hi I just bought my first regulator and because Im new in diving I just wondering what is the white like peace of ceramic looking thing in my first stage.

If it's the piece you see as you look into where high pressure air is fed into the 1st stage, I believe it's the air filter.

thanks for the respond

yes you are probably right but I was confused because it is not soft, its actually hard like tablette.

That is some form of plastic and is the air filter. It should be changed at every checkup so once you have had your first anual you should have one to look at.....the shop returns your old parts ...and they should.

If it has the Apeks logo on it then it's there just for looks, and there is a metal cone filter behind it. If it's solid then that is the actual filter. Both are replaced during an overhaul as both are provided in the Apeks 1st stage kits.

that's the air filter of your first stage, make sure to keep it dry, it's white so you can see right away if it dirty and needs to be replace. good decision in buying xtx 200 dude

At least you didn't take it all apart to see what made it work, like I did with my first reg.
