My wife and daughter both use elderly Oceanic Pro Plus 2 computers that work perfectly. Unfortunately, both of the high-pressure hoses on their Oceanic quick disconnects have failed. New Oceanic HP hoses with quick disconnects appear to be on backorder from all vendors and cost about $150.
I have an alternative hose replacement with a cost savings of about $60. DGX HP quick disconnect comes with one spool, 36" HP hose, and one additional spool.
Works perfectly, very easy, anybody could do it.
You might ask, why not reuse the Oceanic quick disconnect with a new HP hose? That's what I was going to do until I discovered that the Oceanic quick disconnect component attached to the HP hose requires a special tool to remove it. It then requires a special male-male HP hose in order to use the component. Nice move by Oceanic.
