Maintenance Tips

• Rinse the entire BCD with fresh water, focusing on the bladder, inflator and rip cord weight system to remove salt, sand and chlorine. Inflate and deflate while rinsing to wash internal areas.

Clean the Bladder

• Fill the bladder with clean water via the inflator, swish and drain completely, then inflate/deflate a few times to clear hidden residue.

Inspect Key Components

• Check the rip cord system, inflator, dump valves, straps, buckles and seams for wear or damage before each dive.

• Fully inflate and listen for air leaks; address any leaks promptly.

Lubrication & Smooth Function

• Apply a light silicone‑based lubricant to inflator and dump valve mechanisms; avoid petroleum products that can degrade rubber.

Drying & Storage

• Hang the BCD partially inflated in a shaded, ventilated area until fully dry to prevent mold and mildew.

• Store partially inflated in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, excessive heat or tight folding that can damage material.

Annual Professional Service

• Have the BCD, rip cord system and inflator serviced annually by a certified technician to maintain performance, safety and warranty eligibility.
