Rebuilt Aquamatic

[Double Diver]

Well I took my rebuilt 1957 patent pending Aquamatic to the pool about an hour ago, and it works! As a mater of fact it works really well, I can probably tweak it some but it's not bad in any position. The new 21st century parts made a huge difference in it's breath-ability. It now has a new silicon compound diaphragm and exhaust valve a new silicon LP seat and a slightly used 1st stage diaphragm from a Titan. My only concern it the way they join the exhaust cover to the main body. If the rubber ring ever goes it won't be pretty. But on a 15-25' reef it might be fun.

I also wanted to say that I used one of Herman's assembly tools to put in the screen and clip. What a breeze, the tool works great!

Well, we may need to talk a bit more. My Aquamatic is a terrible breather, but then again it has only original parts. I took it into the pool, but didn't even want to take it into the deep end

I was wondering if you had a chance to use it. Now if others will just buy a few of them. Tell all your friends
Do post some photos of the reg- dissambled would be great. That is one reg I have not had a chance to play with.
