I did a pool dive on my new to me/used but never dived Scubapro MK2/R395/R395octo with Aladin Pro computer and SPG in console. I'm not sure how old this all is, however I know this reg was not used because I had to cut off the plastic cards from the second stage hoses, but I suppose the computer/gauge console and it's hose could have been older, but looked brand new.
Anyway the rubber high pressure hose was leaking tiny bubbles all along it's length! It is marked UWATEC working pressure 4350/300 bar and on the fitting at the first stage stamped 08D. Obviously it needs to be replaced but I'm mystified. Can a new hose rot in storage?
Should I be worried about bits of plastic or something from the inside getting into the first stage or other parts like I saw recently here in photos of a braided miflex type hose failure, even though this is rubber?s I want to part this out for a pony bottle, and possibly necklace one R395 for my other reg. Does it need to be completely $$$Serviced? Are the low pressure hoses suspect although marked Scubapro, so a different kind? Thanks for any help/advice.
