Bought an XT Transpac system from Dive gear express. Like it alot, but this weekend my inflator quit working and would not fill the bladder. Took if off and put it on another BC same problem. Bought system in late May or Jun 12. Can you rebuild the inflator? or do I need a new one. Chuck Disregard fixed myself, thanks

If you used the same regulator/inflator hose set up to test with, check the schrader valve in the inflator hose. If it is not adjust properly, the valve does not open when attached to the power inflator and no airflow. If it is too close to the end of the hose you will hear air escaping when attached to the tank. If the schrader valve is too far from the end of the hose, the assembly on the power inflator does not open the schrader valve to allow airflow. Good luck. If I remember correctly, the inflator valve is less than $30.00
