Such a tease! Can't wait to order this. I have a DA Aqumaster without a 2nd stage just waiting for this upgrade :-)

Hope testing goes well.

Currently no 2nd stage? Hey Mike, why wait? You can have the original 2nd stage assembly that's currently on my PRAM for a super low, LOW price! ;)

Levers are finished and I think everything is ready to ship. If you are interested in the new HPR 2nd stage for your regulator and want to purchase more than one of them please send me an E-mail so I can get an idea of how many I need to assemble in anticipation of them meeting all QC guidelines when they arrive. Thank you

Can we expect a post in the near future on installation and adjustment procedures? Or will it be basicly the same as the original?

A great feature of the HPR is that it lends itself to a degree of customization.
Tighten it down till you get a slight free flow, back it off slowly till it stops. Then use a straight edge across the top edge of the can making sure the nylon tabs are just barely touching or just slightly lower than your straight edge you would have it setup to perform fantastic and satisfy 90% of the divers on earth....Where you go from there is up to you. With the HPR you will also have the ability to modify/alter the flow from the ports which changes the venturi effect. This will give the divers that want to experiment hours and hours of fun and entertainment.

I asked Herman to come up with a reproduction of the USD / Aqua Lung factory tool used to adjust 2nd stages in their later model regulators. This is perfect for precise adjustments on the HPR.

Thanks Herman for a offering another great tool for the community!

HOLY SMOKE !!! THAT IS TOTALLY WICKED !!!

Bryan and Herman, I've been looking for one those for years. There was one in the shop in Fresno, CA I wanted to buy, but the tech took the tools when the shop closed.

I am as excited about this tool as I am the HPR.... Well, almost. What a great idea.

When will they be in stock? They make work on Conshelfs a snap.

Like the other tools, Bryan does not stock them, you have to contact me directly. But to answer your question, I have 4 ready to go now. If they go quick, it will be a few days/week before I can have more ready.
