Cobalt High pressure hose leaking from assembly

[griffon]

Hi, I dropped a email to support via the webpage, about a week back, but have not herd anything. My cobalt high pressure hose (which has less then 20 dives on it) has developed a trickle leak bellow the quick disconnect assemble. So a constant stream of bubblesis coming out by where the hose first enters the metal housing. Seems to be ready to fail, which is kind of scary.... what can be done? My cobalt is registered etc.

Thanks

Is this coming from where the swage fitting and the hose come together? That is, the part visible when you pull back the back hose protector and see where the hose and metal first come into contact? If so, it sounds like a hose connection is leaking and the hose needs replacement. If it's coming from the QD fitting itself, the suspect is an O-ring. Either case should be very straightforward. If your message got lost you can call Atomic at 888-270-8595- This is an insanely busy time in the diving business, and Atomic just moved their offices, so they could be a little slow on the response times. If you can take it back to a dealer they may be able to deal with it right away. You're right, you don't want to mess with a suspect HP hose.

Yeah I think it's the hose but I can't be 100% sure the bubbles exit along the host from the base of it's entry point. I'll try that phone thing, thanks
