Sometimes, we get a question "Why should I purchase a HEED 3 over other manufacturers of safety breathing devices?"

The answer is simple: HEED 3 uses a proven SCUBA regulator that has been saving lives for 30 years. The first version of the HEED was a repackaged Spare Air, ordered by the US Navy to assist in training and helicopter water emergencies. Since then, hundreds of organizations, governments, agencies and individuals have taken advantage of our reliable design. And the best reason for a HEED 3 is "simplicity."

• Simple to use: the "always on" design is always ready to deliver air when you need it. There are no moving parts. The dial gauge is easy to read and clearly indicates if the tank is full and ready to us. Just place the mouthpiece in your mouth and breath normally [be sure to read owner's manual before using].
• Simple to maintain: the unit requires no routine maintenance except after use or once a year for a simple inspection and o-ring replacement. Every 5 years, the tank should be hydrostatically tested. The unit can be serviced at any Spare Air certified SCUBA shop or by sending directly to Spare Air.
• Simple to refill: the unit can be filled using any breathing air compressor or from a filled SCUBA tank [3000 psi].
• Simple to mount: the holster included with your HEED 3 is designed to mount easily to any molli vest or belt. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination.
• Simple to travel with: the small size and light weight make the HEED 3 ideal for commercial airline travel. Although the unit cannot be in service during the flight, once you arrive, your unit can easily be refilled and be ready when you need it.
