Servicing Bob Howell ADV?

Mdemon · 1st October 2007, 13:05

Can someone remind me what the reg is in the BobH ADV please? And anyone know where to get service kits from?

TIA!

It was an Aqualung product.
Very similar to this- ABS Octopus
Link- Aqua Lung: First to Dive
I think that Apeks has a very similar part. (If that helps.)

Other people have mentioned that the locking washer had teeth and made taking it apart a pain. However, they still seem to be sorted after by some folks.

You might want to see if Aqualung has rebuild kits.
Best of luck, Andrew

This is not the case for the ADV. It's easy as a regular 2nd stage. Your thinking of the BOV. That is the one with the locking washer.

My mistake...
Thanks for the correction.

OK. I'm confused!

So the ADV an Aqualung then? (The BOV is a Viper) And is there somewhere I can buy service kits online please?

Thank you!

I found some on Ebay. They were about $8.00 USD each. That was about 6 or 7 months ago.

Thanks John. I'll start looking.

BTW, are there service manuals handy?

Crazyduck · 10th October 2007, 03:22

LPO manual
Your wish...

link- Duikschool Barracuda Diving - voor 'tec-heldere' duiken...

move down to aqualung
select LPO.
This was the original unit used.

Best Regards, Andrew
