This is where one of my dislikes for Apeks originated."Long ago" blah blah,Apeks released their latest reg,I forget which one in particular but I'm going back to possibly pre Manta days here.Various people told the designers that there would be problems in UK/cold water with free flows when asked,but depite this the reg was released and was soon blowing off merily everywhere in cold water etc.
This is'nt the problem I have,lots of regs,especially then,would free flow in these conditions.Apeks response however was to release this bloody thing to overcome the problem.
The feeling was that if "it" had been right in the 1st place there would'nt have been any need for it.Re-design can be expensive for a small company(as it was)so an alternative was sought and here it is.
 At best it's compensating for inadequate design.How would you feel if a starting handle was an option on your new car?Thankfully now they're much better!!!!
