Default Re: Demand Valves Maintenance

I will give you a short but yet an effective advice concerning your regulator demand valve car.
At the end of each dive, carefully use HP air from the cylinder to blow away water and debris from the first stage inlet.
Replace the dust cap on the first stage before washing / storing.
Rinse carefully after every dive, preferably soaking overnight in fresh water.
Servicing is recommended every year by qualified technicians, or after every 50 dives, whichever comes first.
Check carefully for damage to hoses, mouthpieces and direct feed connections.

This will help and safe diving mate.
