Care and maintenance
WARNING:
It is highly recommended to perform a simple seal test without the camera after
performing the installation. View following section for details.
Care and maintenance
With basic care and a regular maintenance schedule, your Aquatica housing will provide years
of enjoyment and satisfaction in producing spectacular underwater images. Please follow all
undermentioned care and maintenance instructions.
Housing components
After every salt water dive, soak and/or rinse your housing system in fresh water. It should
soak for a minimum of 30 minutes. Operate all the controls several times, while soaking, to
dislodge any trapped salt water residues.
Periodically remove the hand grips for storage and transportation to avoid having the thread
of the attachment bolts fuse on to the housing. Unscrew, clean and lubricate the bolts with a
small amount of WD-40 or Zinc-based lubricant.
WARNING:
Use WD-40 or any lubricant carefully, sparingly and only on metal to metal
surfaces. WD-40 or other petroleum-based lubricants can damage the acrylic on
the ports, the optical surfaces of a lens or O-rings.
Sacrificial anodes
Two anodes are attached to the bottom parts of the housing to prevent galvanic corrosion
due to electrolysis. As time goes and depending on use, they will deteriorate and need
replacement. Contact your dealer to order replacement anodes (#19220).
