I picked up a 4500 Flatline.. and it fills r e a l l y s l o w l y. It seems like it is really struggling to fill.

Is that normal?

And I thought these things are suposed to have a super-dooper recharge rate? After just trying it out, I think my Centerflag 201 blows it away. Am I wrong?

Its used. I just got it today.

At least it looks easy enough to rebuild.

AGD sells a 3000 rebuild kit. For the 4500 you need buy the pieces individually. I'd bet Tunaman has everything you need in stock. If you can rebuild a Mag valve you can probably rebuild a Flatline. :cheers:

Thanks, yeah I already emailed Tuna. I see that there is one part that you cannot R&R without removing the reg from the bottle though....

bottles are easily enough removed with a buddy assisting you, a wrench and pair of wide reciever gloves.

the flatlines require a slightly different procedure and tool in order to function properly afterwards...

I saw the tool they use for it. I take regs off bottles all the time, but I probably wouldnt want to mess with this one, if only for the reason that I dont want to screw up the surface.
