Jetstream and SS1 questions

[randytay]

Hi, I basically have 3 questions. I apologize in advance if they have been asked before:

1. Is the updated version, the Jetstream MK3 essentially the old Jetstream 2nd stage paired with the Xstream first stage?

2. Can this combo, or the older Jetstream setup be used with the Atomic SS1 as an octo?

3. Can the Jetstream 2nd stage be paired with a first stage from another manufacturer? If so, what should I look out for?

Thank you very much!

1. Looks like that's the case. I had not heard about the Mk3. Thanks for mentioning it.

2. You can use the SS1 with a Poseidon first stage but you have to have it tuned to the lower IP of the Poseidon.

3. Yes, but you need to use a Poseidon LP hose with a built-in overpressure valve. Poseidons are upstream second stages and will not pop open automatically if the first stage delivers too much pressure. Hence the need for the overpressure valve in the hose. This is a safety thing--don't defeat it.

Thank you very much. Looks like the Atomic/Poseidon combo is not going to work for me.
