Unraveling the Magic of Rotating Turret & Ports
One of the standout features of the Apeks XTX50 is its rotating turret with four medium-pressure ports. This allows for optimal hose routing and reduces those annoying sharp bends in the hose that can limit your mobility and create unnecessary stress points. It’s like having a custom-fitted suit; everything just works more smoothly.
Breathe Easy with the Diver Changeable Exhaust System (DCE)
But let’s not overlook the innovative Diver Changeable Exhaust system (DCE). This feature gives you the flexibility to switch between a small and a large exhaust tee. Do you engage in underwater photography? Choose the wider exhaust tee for minimal bubble interference. Prefer a more compact setup? Go for the narrow exhaust tee. And the best part? The regulator comes supplied with both, so you don’t have to make a separate purchase.
Opt for a 5th Port & Gain Versatility
The XTX50 also offers an optional 5th port for those who want to explore sidemount or twin cylinder setups. This addition proves invaluable in giving you the ability to expand and adapt as your diving needs evolve.
Ambidextrous Freedom
The hose configuration can easily be switched from right-handed to left-handed. Now, it should be noted that this procedure should ONLY be performed by an APEKS Authorised Service Technician, but the ease of this modification adds another layer of adaptability to this already feature-rich product.
Resilient Flexi-Hoses
Braided flexi-hoses come standard on all models. These hoses are lighter, more flexible, and far more durable than traditional rubber hoses. The benefits are immediate—easier packing, less drag underwater, and a longer lifespan.
Cold Water? No Problem!
When it comes to diving in frigid conditions, the XTX50 won’t let you down. The regulator is designed for use in waters below 10 C and features an environmental dry system to prevent ice buildup in the main spring chamber.
EAN40 Compatibility
For the nitrox enthusiasts out there, the XTX50 is compatible with EAN40 right out of the box. No need for additional modifications or purchases.
First Stage Brilliance
The first stage uses the DST system with a unique over-balanced diaphragm design. As you descend, the pressure of the medium gas in the hose increases at a rate faster than ambient pressure, leading to exceptional performance at greater depths.
Smooth Second Stage
The pneumatically-balanced second stage ensures a smooth, easy breathing experience. The large XTX purge buttons and venturi lever are intuitive and easy to use, even in intense situations.
Anti-Infection Additives
But it doesn’t end there. All molded parts come with active protection against MRSA, E-Coli, and other microbial threats, thanks to a unique additive blend.
No More Jaw Fatigue
The Comfo-bite™ mouthpiece offers unparalleled comfort and significantly reduces jaw fatigue, allowing you to enjoy extended dives without discomfort.
Thermal Comfort
A patented heat exchanger surrounds the valve mechanism, ensuring that the cold produced by gas expansion is mitigated by the warmth of the surrounding water. This keeps you comfortable even in colder temperatures.
In summary, the Apeks XTX50 Regulator DIN 300Bar is the ultimate package of performance, versatility, and value. It’s not just a regulator; it’s a game-changer. Make your dives smoother, safer, and more enjoyable. Experience the future of diving today.
