A 2-stage progressive purge is used - press the purge on the side for a lower flow rate, useful where more control is required such as filling lift bags etc, then press in the centre for the full effect of the purge, i.e. when regulator clearing etc.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe large venturi lever has a soft touch rubber grip, which makes it easier to locate and use. The lever reduces the amount of grit ingress and therefore resists any possible friction giving a smooth operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy-to-grip opening effort control knob keeps the diver in control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe second stage is manufactured with active protection against infection as all molded parts are produced with an additive that kills MRSA, protects against E-Coli, bacteria and fungi, and is also very effective against viruses, mould, yeast and algae.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA silicone exhaust valve improves the breathing performance of the regulator.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Comfo-bite™ mouthpiece virtually eliminates jaw-fatigue.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA heat exchanger (patented) which surrounds the valve mechanism, dissipates the cold caused by gas expansion while drawing in the warmth of the ambient water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKit Contents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 ea.
