- The XTX purge buttons are large and easy to operate. A 2-stage progressive purge is used – press the purge on the side for a lower flow rate useful where more control is required such as filling lift bags etc then press in the centre for the full effect of the purge i.e. when regulator clearing etc.
- Can be converted from a right-handed hose configuration to a left handed one. The process of changing the regulator to a left-handed configuration is both quick and simple. However this procedure must ONLY be performed by an APEKS Authorised Service Technician.
- Braided flexi-hoses are now standard on all models. These hoses are lighter weight more flexible and more durable.
- Suitable for coldwater use (below 10 C / 50 F).
- Compatible with EAN40 out of the box.
- Pneumatically-balanced second stage results in smooth easy breathing.
- The large venturi lever has a soft touch rubber grip which makes it easier to locate and use. The lever reduces the amount of grit ingress and therefore resists any possible friction giving a smooth operation.
- Manufactured with active protection against infection as all moulded parts are produced with an additive that kills MRSA protects against E-Coli bacteria and fungi and is also very effective against viruses mould yeast and algae.
- A silicone exhaust valve improves the breathing performance of the regulator.
- The Comfi-bite mouthpiece virtually eliminates jaw-fatigue.

A Bit About Apeks!
In the mid-1970s two friends decided to combine their knowledge of diving and precision engineering. Working from a small garage in the north of England they set about creating what have become some of the most respected scuba diving regulators on the market.
Decades later that spirit of precision-engineering and craftsmanship continues. Our world-class production facility and the fact that we have total control over every manufacturing process make Apeks scuba diving regulators the industry benchmark for design quality and performance.
