Balanced-piston first stages are the first choice of demanding deep sport divers and professionals. First stages with air-balanced pistons deliver significantly more air to the second stage than any other first stage, while their performance is totally unaffected by changing tank pressure and depth. A balanced piston allows the use of lighter and more sensitive components, resulting in an ultra-fast breathing response, instant delivery of air on demand, and extra-high airflow, especially in low tank pressure ranges.
SCUBAPRO leads the way in piston-controlled first stages. The MK25 is the perfect example, bringing you ultra-stable intermediate pressure which ensures an instant and constant delivery of ultra-high airflow. You can count on incomparable performance for all diving conditions and at any depth. Made of chrome-plated, marine-grade brass, the MK25 will be your diving partner for a lifetime.
MK25 EVO First Stage:
-
Air balanced flow-through piston in a chrome-plated brass body provides constant and effortless airflow un- affected by depth, tank pressure, or breathing rate.
-
Patent pending XTIS (Extended thermal Insulating system) fully insulates the inner mechanism from the environment, improving cold-water resistance by 30% and delaying ice formation in extreme cold-water conditions without com- promising breathing performance. Key insulation system components are visible in blue.
-
New spring insulating coating, body insulating bushing, anti-freeze cap, bigger body and cap thread all work in concert with the XTIS to improve cold-water performance.
-
Anti-freeze protection radically increases breathing reliability when diving in the most extreme water temperatures.
-
Two opposing high pressure ports allow the first stage to be positioned either up or down.
-
Five high-flow low pressure ports on a swivel turret maximize hose routing options.
-
External intermediate pressure adjustment enables technicians to fine-tune performance quickly and easily.
