Hello all,
I have a Zeagle Ranger, about 3 years old, and it looks like it's time to replace the inflator mechanism. I've never really liked the way it worked anyway, seemed to be sticky very soon after purchase and even after disassembly and soaking parts in vinegar a few times it is sticking worse and worse. I've had enough and would like to replace it with a non zeagle inflator. The local dive shop has OMS replacement inflators with corrugated hose for about $25 (maybe $35, can't quite remember!). My questions:
- Would it work on a Zeagle BC?
The shop wasn't sure and, unfortunately, my gear isn't accessible right now (long story).
- What do people think of the OMS inflators?
- What others brands would you recommend and how much $$$ would you expect your recommendations to cost?
I really could care less who's name is on it and whether the colors are 'purdy'; just want something reliable / comfortable.
Thanks in advance all.
