How to maintain and clean the submersible regulator?

After diving, everyone must pay attention to cleaning their diving equipment, and the maintenance time will be longer. So, let's learn about the maintenance and cleaning of diving pressure regulating valve and the matters needing attention today!

Regulator maintenance shows that the regulator is the most important part of diving. Please remember that she is your wife. Without her, you are nothing. On weekdays, we must properly protect the regulator, regularly send the regulator to the nearest diving center, and ask professional maintenance personnel to do thorough cleaning and parts replacement.

It used to be maintained once a year, but now the new material has extended the maintenance period. Keep adjusting the machine under the following conditions:

1- Maintenance period specified by the manufacturer

2- After six months to one year of frequent use

3- Signs of damage or excessive wear are found

4- When breathing is not as easy as before

5- Detect any anomalies.

Instructions for cleaning the regulator Many divers do not pay attention to the following details when cleaning the regulator:

1. Immerse the whole first-stage head in water.

You should know that the dust cover does not have the sealing function, and water will still enter through the gap. When water enters the first stage head, it is easy to damage the first stage head parts, especially if the regulator that seals the drying chamber is not used. So when cleaning, remember not to immerse the whole first stage head in water.

2. When cleaning the secondary head, I like to press the drain button.

When you disconnect the first-stage head from the gas cylinder, don't press the drain button when cleaning the second-stage parts, because water will enter the second-stage head parts and may even flow to the first-stage parts along the low-pressure pipe, causing damage to the parts.

The correct cleaning method is to use warm water, and the water temperature should not exceed 30 degrees. After cleaning the surface, soak the regulator in warm water for a period of time, and then take it out to dry.

If you need to maintain the diving regulator, you must remember some information compiled above, take good care of your diving equipment, and pay attention to extending their life. Everyone's diving will be safer!
