Description
TUSA’s Active Purge Assist (APA) System is a revolutionary new BCD accessory technology. This pneumatically assisted purge system and newly designed OPEV (overpressure exhaust valve) offer significantly enhanced flow rates over a standard inflator system, which allows for immediate purge and inflation response. Additionally, the APA is incredibly streamlined, reducing drag and bulkiness. The system is designed for low maintenance and easy care, reducing inflator malfunctions, and is an add-on replacement accessory on most TUSA BCDs.
The APA ergonomic design fits comfortably in your hand when trimming buoyancy underwater. It has a cable-activated pull-dump mechanism, allowing the diver to pull down on the inflator to quickly dump air when needed. The corrugated hose has clips to route the low-pressure hose coming from your first stage regulator to further reduce drag and increase the streamline profile when diving. Uniquely, the system can be mounted on the BCD in a variety of ways, including:
1. Traditional, over-the-shoulder
2. Underarm, positioned at pocket/hip*
3. Underarm, positioned in the center chest – Ideal for handicapped divers*
*Requires the TC-753 Mounting Strap (see SKU: TBTTC753)
