What is a regulator overhaul?
A regulator overhaul involves disassembling the first and second stages, inspecting and cleaning internal components, replacing required service parts, and reassembling and testing the regulator according to manufacturer specifications.
Even if a regulator appears to be functioning normally, internal components can wear or deteriorate over time. Routine servicing helps maintain proper performance and identify potential issues.
Scubapro Parts for Life Program
Louisville Dive Center participates in Scubapro's Parts for Life Program. Qualifying Scubapro equipment may be eligible for replacement service parts at no charge when the manufacturer's maintenance and eligibility requirements are met.
It is the equipment owner's responsibility to ensure their regulator is serviced every 24 months or 100 dives, whichever comes first, to maintain eligibility for the SCUBAPRO Parts for Life Program. Failure to meet these service requirements will result in disqualification from the program.
Labor and any additional repairs or non-covered parts are billed separately. Contact our service department for details.
