Golem BOV internals

Stephane · 12th November 2007, 07:55

Hello,

I need to clean my Golem BOV as sea water came in while I was diving (quick connect disconnected!)
Which Apeks 2nd stage part is used? Knowing that I will be able to find the maintenance manual and clean it.

Thank you very much.

This happened to me a few times when I was setting up the BOV. I simply blew fresh water through the BOV then dry air from a spare tank - seems to be fine. The APEKS 2nd stage shuttle is a pretty robust thing - not too many working parts. If you are really worried about it, get a service kit from deepstop.de . You can find APEKS service guides on the web - all the 2nd stages are almost the same. I think frogkick.nl had them posted for a while

APEKS regs are simple they are very nice to service the second stage is a tube with bits that go in and on either side.

Manuals are freely avaliable and services as above.

Thank you all for you help. I just have now to be patient and calm while resassembling it!

Edit: piece of cake! as easy as 1 2 3.
