Z3 Regulator

Z3 Zirconium Regulator

ATOMIC AQUATICS SIGNATURE FEATURES

Divers on a budget can experience virtually the same easy, natural breathing and corrosion-resistance as the entire Atomic regulator line. The performance is delivered from patented Atomic exclusives including the Jet Seat piston and AFC. The economy is achieved from exclusive use of Zirconium-plated Brass materials.

ALL BLACK PATENTED COMFORT SWIVEL

When you turn your head to look at something interesting, you’ll look great doing it with the uniquely all-black Atomic Comfort Swivel. This exclusive Atomic design allows 30° rotational movement without hose pulling, binding or kinking. The Z3 version is precision-machined Brass with black PVD coating. (US Patent No. 7,188,869)

PATENTED AUTOMATIC FLOW CONTROL

The Venturi effect inside a second stage makes it breathe easy, and the Atomic AFC eliminates the manual adjustment normally needed to regulate Venturi effect as you dive deeper. No dials to turn or buttons to push. A Rapid Adjustment Knob is included for special situations like surf entry or octo use. (US Patent No. 5,678,541)

Jet Seat Piston

The Atomic Jet Seat system has no sharp edges that can damage the seat over time, like most competitor’s first stages. Instead, Atomic employs a conical seat and blunt-end piston. Our valve seats are precision machined from an extremely strong aerospace specification seat material. This design combination is the most reliable seat system in the industry and enables the seat to go 2-years or 300 dives without service. Diving performance is superior at even low tank pressure.

SERVICE AND WARRANTY

2-YEAR / 300-DIVE SERVICE INTERVAL

LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY

Metal parts are warranted against corrosion for life. Period. The Atomic warranty is NOT contingent on proof of service. And even the recommended service interval of 2 years or 300 dives gives you a lot of dive time before taking your regulator in for a check-up.
