What are the safety instructions that must be observed?
•
Never hold your breath while ascending or descending
•
Never dive down if you feel discomfort in your ears, nose or eyes
•
Never ascend too quickly (under no circumstance faster than small air bubbles)
•
Check the pressure gauge very regularly and use the Karbones tank at the water sur-
face when the needle of the pressure gauge is in the red zone.
•
It is also very important to explain these basic rules to anyone who is about to use a
Karbones product.
Is it possible to refill a tank using a bicycle pump?
No, a bicycle pump is only capable of delivering pressures of 15 to 20 bar maximum.
Our special hand pump is capable of reaching a pressure in excess of 200 bar.
Its special design (patented) makes it robust.
Several refills can also be made in succession, provided a cooling time is observed every
5 minutes.
Is it possible to travel by plane with a Karbones tank?
It is not prohibited to take a tank on a plane, as long as it is empty, with the tank valve open
and declared as such at the time of boarding.
If necessary, the airline may request that the valve be disconnected from the tank, which is a
very simple and very quick procedure : simply unscrew the upper part of the tank.
Is the tank subject to the French regulation on mandatory retesting?
The tank is not subject to compulsory retesting.
Each country has its own legislation on the use and retesting of scuba tanks. We advise you
to contact the relevant authorities in your country.
Can I refill a 0.8 L or 1 L tank from a different brand with a Kar-
bones compressor or mini-compressor?
Yes, you can refill your 0.8 L and 1 L scuba tanks with our compressor and mini-compressor.
Care must be taken to perform the refill in multiple stages, with a pause every 100 bar.
At least 2 stages would be needed to refill a 0.8 L tank, and a 1 L tank would require at least
3 pauses.
What is the solution to have as much autonomy as possible?
