🤿 Diveavenue's expert opinion on the SF TECH inflator

This is the most compact heating inflator I have ever tested. What I really appreciate is how smooth the inflation button is, even when wearing thick dry gloves. Being able to reverse the air hose is a real luxury for those who, like me, like to have a clean cockpit without hoses crossing over the chest. It's sturdy, it's Swiss, and it lasts.

❓ Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Can this inflator replace my current Apeks valve ? Yes, it is designed to be mounted directly in place of a standard Apeks valve without any modification to your suit.

Can I use this inflator with a battery from another brand ? Thanks to its standard E/O connector, it is compatible with most batteries on the market (Ammonite, Light-for-me, Santi, etc.) that use this standard.

Does installation require the services of a professional ? Replacing a valve is a simple operation that you can do yourself. Simply unscrew the internal clamping ring from the old valve and screw in the new one, making sure the seal is clean.
