What is the solution to have as much autonomy as possible?
You simply need to buy other Karbones tanks that you can refill before use in order to in -
crease your autonomy.
If you wish to benefit from more autonomy from the very beginning, we recommend our
packs which are more advantageous in terms of cost.
When diving, take long, slow and smooth breaths to optimise your air consumption.
What is the lifespan of the equipment?
The equipment has been developed and tested over tens of cycles and subjected to hun-
dreds of refills for the Karbones tanks, the hand pump and the compressor.
Extensive strength testing was carried out before the products were inspected and certified
by an independent body in order to be placed on the market.
And we continue to test our products to make them ever more reliable and safe.
If you follow the tanks storage conditions specified in this manual, you will not see any sign
of deterioration for several years.
Do the products require any specific maintenance?
The inspection frequency of a Karbones tank depends on its usage, and is recommended
every year if the product is used frequently.
Maintenance must be carried out at an approved facility (please contact a diving centre)
in order to check the internal condition of the tank and the working condition of the entire
system.
It is also mandatory to clean all the equipment with fresh water after each use.
What happens if the maximum allowable pressure is exceeded?
The products have been developed and tested to withstand a pressure above 200 bar.
There is no risk of bursting if the pressure exceeds 200 bar, but you must not exceed this
pressure, otherwise the tank materials may degrade after only a small number of uses.
