From LatitudeAdjustment:
I had an Aquatec and while in Utila the subduck stuck on while setting up the rig and yes the Captain can hear it over the sound of the motor. I was unable to get rebuild parts for it and it ended up in the trash.
I was able to call Aquatec directly in California and get a parts kit to rebuild it. As for your problem with the subduck. The valving for both the subduck and the inflator use a standard shrader valve core available at any autoparts store. The O-rings are all standard Buna types, the springs although included in the rebuild kit, done typically need replacement unless the user doesn’t rinse the unit properly. The only replacement part from the kit that would be eventually needed would be the rubber BCD purge seat. I consider it a shame you tossed the integrated Octo for a commonly available part but I guess both you and your LDS were not aware or maybe your LDS saw an opportuninty to make a sale on a new octo.
