Maintenance Tips

• Rinse Thoroughly After Each Dive: Always rinse the entire BC/BCD with fresh water after each dive to remove salt, sand, and other debris. Pay special attention to the inflator and dump valves.
• Clean and Dry the Weight Pockets: After removing weights, rinse the weight pockets to ensure no debris or salt is left inside. Hang the BC/BCD to dry thoroughly, ensuring the weight pockets are empty and dry.
• Check for Wear and Tear: Regularly inspect the BC for signs of wear, especially on the straps, buckles, D-rings, and the bladder. Ensure the weight pockets secure firmly and don’t show signs of significant wear or damage.
• Inspect Inflator and Dump Valves: Ensure that the inflator valve, hose, and dump valves are clean and functioning properly. Clear any clogs by flushing with fresh water and check for smooth operation.
• Lubricate the Inflator Valve: Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the inflator valve to keep it operating smoothly and prevent corrosion.
• Dry the BC Properly: Hang the BC upside down in a well-ventilated area, out of direct sunlight and heat, to air dry. This will prevent moisture buildup and keep the fabric and bladder in top condition.
• Store Safely: Store the BC/BCD in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and chemicals. Avoid storing it in a compressed state, as this can damage the bladder and straps.
• Inspect Weight Integration System: Check the weight release mechanism and weight pockets for functionality and security. Ensure the system is operating correctly to prevent accidental weight release.
• Professional Servicing: Schedule an annual servicing with a professional to inspect the bladder, inflator, valves, and weight integration system for optimal performance.
