The HOG Regulator
Purge button - all good regulators are fitted with a purge button. Depressing this button will use compressed air to blow out any accumulation of water within the casing. It can be used in or out of the water.
These two adjustment controls work in conjunction with each other.
What the diver wants, is to feel a very comfortable level at which air will flow from the regulator as the diver inhales.
Too much flow is just as uncomfortable as too little flow.
The best way to approach making the adjustment that is best for you, is to experiment with both controls while you are underwater and find the best spot for yourself. As a diver goes deeper, he/she may find that another adjustment is needed to achieve that perfect flow. However, there is no need to constantly make adjustments - one good setting will probably get you through a dive.
The mouthpiece should fit comfortably in your mouth. There is no need to bite down. Biting down hard will only fatigue the muscles in you jaw and make your dive more unpleasant.
Exhaust port (one on each side of the regulator).
When the diver exhales, bubbles will emerge from these ports.

"Oilless" compressor means that breathing air does not come in contact with any lubricated part.
CAUTION: There are SCUBA air systems on the market that are not OILLESS. This is machinery that must be avoided for breathing purposes! If a compressor is not "oilless" it means that oil mist will be entrained in the air that you are breathing - in time this will cause a severe health problem by damaging the lungs!!
Every component of the Scuba Breather system is 100% compliant with ANSI breathing air standards.

Compressed Air
Pressure Regulator
Each Scuba Breather dive unit is fitted with a Compressed Air Pressure Regulator. The purpose of this device is to provide a regulated air pressure for any auxiliary device that requires a regulated air supply.
To regulate air pressure, twist the black knob on top of the regulator clockwise to increase pressure.
If used during a season, drain the condensate once per season by depressing the button on the bottom of the regulator.
