Finally got back in the water today since last February...work, school, and a traumatic hand injury that required surgery has kept me landluberring for more months than I care for.
When we got out of the water my wife mentioned I had a stream of bubbles coming from the short high pressure hose my transmitter is attached to. I suspected the o-rings on the hp spool and replace them....no joy. To rule out the spool entirely I mounted the spg and spool from my pony bottle regset onto the transmitter's hose and put reg set on pony bottle and submerged in the bathtub...still leaking.
I have included a picture with my finger pointing to the junction of the coupling where the bubbles are coming from.
This happened a couple of years ago with another short hose that a dive partner gave me.
What causes these to leak at this junction and is there anything I can do to salvage this or do I need to drop coin on a replacement hose? I have yet to have a "normal" length hp hose fail in this way.
Anyone have any thoughts?
