Apeks TX100 Regulator not just reliable!

The Apeks Tx100 regulator

All divers want the same thing from a regulator. They want something that will breathe easy and reliably under a wide variety of conditions.

In short, they want something that’s not going to crap out on them when they need to take a breath.

There are many regulators on the market that fit that description, but only one that’s been field tested in the harshest conditions that divers have ever set a fin in – the Apeks TX100 regulator. Apeks is a manufacturer of exceptional regulators that’s based out of England. Its founders have made good use of their engineering background by making some of the best regulators in the world.

When most hardcore divers hear someone mention the Apeks TX100 regulator, the first person they think about is the late John Bennett and the spectacular accomplishment he made with this regulator. For a long time people thought it was impossible for a person to dive to 1,000 feet (300m) saltwater. They didn’t think that the human body could handle it. Bennett proved them wrong.

John Bennett and the Apeks TX100 Regulator

John Bennett was the director of technical diving at Atlantis Tech. On June 4, 2000 he dove to 834 feet (255m) saltwater by himself to secure a place in the record books as the deepest diver in history. But for Bennett, that dive was the beginning of the journey, not the end. For John the dive on June 4th made him realize something – he could go deeper.

For months he prepared for his dive to 1,000 feet (300m) saltwater. The dive was complicated and even his support divers needed support divers. It took Bennett two months just to decide on an equipment configuration. But when he finally made up his mind the regulator he chose was the ATX100.

Bennett’s dive proved what Apeks engineers have known for years; the ATX100 can handle anything. At 1,000 feet (300m) saltwater, the air is about 31 times denser than the air you’re breathing as you read this. That means that Bennett was taking in as much air in one breath as you do in 31 breaths.

Most regulators can’t handle that kind of strain. O-rings will pop, parts will freeze, something will go wrong - but not with the Apeks TX100. Bennett made it through his dive and beat his own record.

What kind regulator can take the kind of punishment that only 455 pounds per square inch (31 bar) of pressure can deliver?

The ATX100 is a pneumatically balanced regulator with a diaphragm-style first stage.

The regulator is also equipped with heat exchangers to prevent it from freezing in extreme temperatures. Many regulators say that they can handle extreme depths and temperatures, but only one can prove it.

I’m willing to bet that you’re not planning a dive to 1,000 feet (300m), but think about this: If John Bennett took the Apex TX100 regulator to 1,000 feet (300m) and it performed flawlessly, how do you think it’s going to perform on your 130 foot (40m) dive?

Once you’ve been to 1,000 feet (300m), everything else is child’s play.

If you’re looking for a regulator that can handle anything, look no further than the Apeks TX100.
