| Absolute air integrity in the first stage is a
life determining quality for an extreme user. Because of this
the number of gaskets and o-rings in the Xstream is minimized
to the lowest possible. In the heart of the construction is
a ball made of stainless steel that eliminates the most common
problem, a leaking high-pressure valve.
Another advantage of the ball is that it can never be dislodged
and the numbers of risk factors such as misalignment, wearing
out and other construction tolerances that can lead to leakage
are excluded from the first stage. |

STRAIGHT ON TO MAXIMUM FLOW
AND ABSOLUTE AIR TIGHTNESS.
The principle for the world's most robust valve is built on
the ability for the gas mixture to flow at high speed, in as
straight a path as possible through the regulator, thus creating
the maximum gas delivery. To be able, at the same time to achieve
absolute air tightness, the new patent-pending construction
principle contains a steel ball as the seal. This is an innovative
idea that in one simple solution, eliminates in principle all
potential HP leak problems that exist in conventional valve
design.
The Xstream regulator is also self-balancing, which gives
the same high performance irrespective of the pressure in
the cylinder. When the seat is moved upwards by the high pressure,
the design causes the upper pressure spring to compress and
thus exactly self-balance the powers of pressure. Xstream
also has a built in anti freeze protection in its construction.
TDA (Thermo Dynamic Antifreeze) ensures that the through-
flowing water keeps the ice away, entirely without fluids
or extra diaphragms.
SECOND STAGES WITH FIRST CLASS QUALITIES.
The Xstream second stage has a well-proven construction with
a number of newly developed characteristics. The inner volume,
so called dead space, is small, which enables the build up
of carbon dioxide to be minimized. At inhale and exhale the
resistance is minimal, e.g. 0.07 Joule at inhale at 150 meters
(app. 495 feet) depth. The exhalation diaphragm is protected
by a cover that can be removed without using tools for easy
access to the diaphragm. The diaphragm's position on the second
stage also prevents flowing water from finding its way in
to the valve.
FORGET EN-250. XSTREAM IS TESTED TO 200 METERS (APPROX.
650 FEET).
Which tests can be trusted and what do different approvals
guarantee? To make a long story short, the EU produced a standard
for regulators, EN 250, which proves that you can dive with
air down to 50 metres (160 feet) of depth. Nothing else. But
what do you do for those who dive deeper than that with mixed
gases and who want equipment that is tested for the most extreme
situations? This is where Poseidon and Xstream enter the picture.
We have continued far deeper than the existing standards,
all the way down to 200 meters (650 feet), still with the
same high performance and quality on the regulator. At these
depths it is not the equipment from Poseidon that sets the
limits it is the diver himself. On http://www.poseidon.se/
you can read more about the tests where we follow the Norwegian
offshore standard NOR- SOK. Here you can also read more about
practical tests made by the Swedish Navy's Diving Centre. |
| This model is made especially for the deco-stop
where you are guaranteed that you can use as high as 99.95%
oxygen. To never be confused with other gas mixtures, e.g. nitrox,
the colour-coding is in distinctive white for oxygen on the
Deco first and second stage. By that you are also certain that
the first stage has the wheel mounted in the bottom to fit oxygen
optimally. Besides this, Deco is 04-safe, i.e. Oxygen engineered,
Oxygen compatible, Oxygen clean, Oxygen approved. The number
of outlets is minimized to two for maximum safety. As standard,
the second stage is equipped with neck straps for Octopus. The
regulator is delivered with an LP-hose offered in a range of
lengths to choose from. |
|
| This regulator is especially suitable for diving
when you are spending a long period of time under water. Up
to 50% oxygen can be used in the Duration that is O4 safe i.e,
Oxygen engineered, Oxygen clean. Oxygen approved hence the colour
coding-coding green for Nitrox in both the first and the second
stage. Duration is also available in two varieties: with the
wheel side in the bottom to fit your personal configuration
optimally. Just two outlets on Duration and three on Duration
90 provide maximum safety. The regulator is delivered with an
LP-hose offered in a range of lengths to choose from. |
|
| As the name indicates this model is designed for
those who dive deep with gas mixtures up to 21 % oxygen. Depending
on the area of usage and choice of configuration, the Deep first
stage exists in two varieties; with the wheel mounted in the
bottom part or from the side (Deep 90). The colour marking of
the first and second stage is black (Trimix). The second stage
is equipped with neck-straps as standard. The number of outlets
is minimized to three for Deep 90 and two for Deep for maximum
safety. The regulator is delivered with an LP-hose offered in
a range of lengths to choose from. |

| You can always recognize Poseidon regulators as
they are simple to use and easy to breathe, when you enter the
right element. A construction with adjustment wheels and knobs
is not allowed on a Poseidon regulator. You do not have to change
airflow or inhalation resistance. Function and performance are
always automatically optimised so that you can experience the
ultimate dive. |
|
|
|
| All our regulators direct the exhaled air to the
side so that your sight is not being disturbed by bubbles. The
regulator is non-keyed and can be used from both right and left
side, regardless of position in the water. To every regulator
there is a corresponding octopus with a 90 cm (35 inch) hose,
of course with the same performance and function as the main
second stage. |

|
|
| What separates one regulator from another? If
you ask and get the answer to test directly in the dive shop,
then hesitate. Because if there is somewhere you should experience
the difference with a Poseidon regulator it is in its right
element, actually diving it. |
