Computer Console Hose replacement?

Also posted in the scubapro forum but thought I might get an answer more quickly here.

I've got an older Aladin Pro computer that is built into a console with my Air Pressure Gauge. The computer works great but the hose has developed a very small leak around the silver connection part of the hose where It connects to the port. It also appears to have a very small leak at the other end where the hose connects to the console itself. I really like the computer. I know it's old and I know it's basic but it does everything I need it to do. So, can my local dive shop replace the hose for me??

Any dive shop should be able to fix that easily.

you should be able to replace it at home easily if you have some patience and an adjustable wrench

Before replacing the hose replace the o-ring on the regulator end and the spool between the computer and hose. These are typically some of the least serviced parts of your gear.

Like others have said, if the hose is not visibly cracked and otherwise damaged-looking then you probably just need some new O-rings. Just to avoid confusion, the "spool" is on the air gauge. It is a small, metal tube with a 003 O-ring on each end. I would guess that air-integrated computers have something similar but I've never taken one apart so I don't know. But since you said you have an "Air Pressure Gauge" then your Aladin is not AI, right?

The O-ring on the regulator end is probably 011 but some of the older ones are 010, I think. Replacing the hose would most likely fix the leak on the regulator end (assuming it came with a new O-ring) but probably wouldn't fix the leak at the gauge end.
