Collecting information-Poseidon Xstream Reg

[Shi]

事实上，我已经使用 Poseidon Xstream Reg 7 年了。这让我感觉很好，除了向学生展示自由流动时；D
我的朋友几乎没有一个在使用伺服调节器。但“二段故障无法呼吸”的故事在他们中间非常流行，这也是他们不会选择伺服调节器的“原因”。
那么，您在使用过程中是否遇到过类似的问题或者有什么不足之处呢？至少我现在没有遇到。我希望得到一个真实的答案，当然你也可以开个玩笑，但你应该标记“我要开个玩笑：”
谢谢！

Using Google Translate of your post:

In fact, I have been using Poseidon Xstream Reg for 7 years. This makes me feel good, except when showing free movement to students; D
Almost none of my friends are using servo regulators. But the story of "Second stage failure can't breathe" is very popular among them, which is the "reason" why they would not choose servo regulator.
So, have you encountered similar problems or any shortcomings in the process of using it? At least I haven't encountered it now. I hope to get a real answer, of course you can also make a joke, but you should mark "I want to make a joke:"
Thanks!


First, welcome to ScubaBoard!

I have been using Poseidon Xstreams for a number of years (maybe 5 or 6?). No issues or concerns... Fantastic in cold water. They definately perform better the deeper you go, and a recreational diver may never get from them what they are made to do. They do feel "different" from a conventional downstream.

I have been using the Xstream, since it was first released in the early 2000s, along with other upstream and downstream Poseidon models, dating back to the 1970s; have never had a single issue with any of them; and have only witnessed one over-pressure failure, while working dive boats, years ago, with a poorly-maintained Odin (the Jetstream, which has, basically, the same interior components as the Xstream second stage).

The diver was certainly frustrated, but experienced no difficulty in his breathing, while the OPV valve (then on the hose) vented excess gas, during his controlled ascent from about twenty meters -- much to the surprise of those unfamiliar with how those upstream models functioned, who largely believed, back then and some now, that they would somehow "fail-closed" and cut-off an air-supply.

Not so . . .

首先，欢迎来到 ScubaBoard！

我已经使用过 idon Xstreams 假设多年（他们可能是 5 年还是 6 年？）。没有问题或顾虑......在冷水中清晰。肯定会表现得见识，你越深入，休闲潜水员可能永远不会会从他们那里得到他们应该做的事情。他们确实与传统的“不同”。

首先，欢迎来到 ScubaBoard！

我已经使用 Poseidon Xstreams 多年（可能是 5 年还是 6 年？）。没有问题或顾虑......在冷水中很棒。他们肯定会表现得越好，你越深入，休闲潜水员可能永远不会从他们那里得到他们应该做的事情。他们确实感觉与传统的下游“不同”。

首先感谢您的回答。
其实我也用谷歌翻译，哈哈哈……因为我只是一个生活在菲律宾的非英语国家潜水员。
由于地理原因，我没有在冷水中使用它，除非菲律宾迎来了新的冰河时代。
我只知道它的一级有防冻功能，能不能详细解释一下冷水的其他优点？
谢谢！

First of all thank you for your answer.

After reading your account carefully, there is an OPV valve between the hoseing and 2 steage of the new Xstream. Because the OPV valve of the old Xstream is a separate accessory, it needs to be installed on the 1 stage, right? the URL below:

You are welcome.

The current regulators have a built-In OPV on the first stage bottom (looks like a small blind screw); and it was only the older models which required the OPV on the hose itself — before 2008, I believe.

I have never used that OPV device from Poseidon, "Safety Valve 200 psi G 1/8," on any of my regulators. That thing is more commonly used to protect the IP gauges on their “test boxes” for tuning regulators. It certainly can be used as an OPV; that is its stated purpose; but I have yet to see those, in the water.

Here are examples of both OPV types — the first, on the Xstream first stage bottom; the second, spring-loaded, on an older hose; and disassembled OPV valves, from the aforementioned Xstream:

不客气。

电流调节器有一个内置在OPV上的第一阶段底部（像一个小灯泡）；并且只有独特的优势需要OPV——我相信是在2008年之前。

我从来没有在我的任何调节器上使用过 Poseidon 的 OPV 设备“安全阀 200 psi G 1/8”。那些东西更常用于保护“测试盒”上的 IP 仪表，调节调节器。它当然可以用 OPV 的目的；这就是其声明的目的；但我还没有看到那些，在水中。

以下是两种OPV类型的——第一种，在Xstream一级底部；第二个，弹簧加载，在旧优势上；和上方的OPV阀，来自上述Xstream：

Thank you very much for your answer and detailed picture description. This information gave me a deeper understanding of my REG.
