sherwood regs.... which one ??

[Diver0001]

well i bought a maximus, another ebay job with a 300 bar din valve

Congratulations.

This isn't probably the time to tell you about this but there is a recall on the Maximus. Check out the sherwoord site and see if yours needs a new piece. It's not a serious issue but if you fiddle a lot with the cracking adjuster you'll need to take it in.

Have fun with your new reg. You've probably bought one of the most reliable regulators money can buy.

i hope it will be OK, it's a new 2005 model, so i hope there won't be a problem with it
a BUY IT NOW on ebay.com shipped to the UK with a 300 bar din for $330, £170
quite a bit cheaper than i could get one over here for

i guess i could have gotten a lot of different regs, but i like sherwood regs, i have used other regs when i have rented equiptment, an found sherwood to be the ones for me
i like the fact that they are relativly stream lined, the exhaust ports on the second stage are replaceable {for longer ones} to keep the bubbles out of the way when i'm trying to use a camera or video, and lastly the minimus it will work either way up, again it's streamlined, as far as i'm concerned job done
looking forward to getting my new reg, an then getting it wet

Your fine, the recall was for regulators from 1999-2001. The Maximus sells for $375 US, list price is around $500. If the reg is new its a pretty good deal. I use the Maximus most of the time with a Apex ATX-50 octo (one of the best cold water octo's you can purchase) but I also own the minimus octo which is a hard breather but it will never freeflow or give you a problem. Have fun and stay safe.

my reg turned up yesterday, i should have asked for a minimus to be included doh never mind
i am a happy chicken

would look into the apex one though
but i cannot find it, all i can see is first/secon stage, no occy's
