After Diving
The regulator should always be rinsed while it is still mounted on the tank. The
regulator should beunder pressure, otherwise water can enter either the first or
the second stage and cause the build up of ice during your next dive!
If water enters your first stage, corrosion could form inside the first stage leading
to loss in performance and/or failure. If you suspect water has entered the first
stage we recommend that you let a service technician, certified to service/repair
Poseidon equipment, disassemble your first stage to dry and clean it.
• The regulator should be rinsed in fresh water after every dive so as to avoid
salt crystal formation around the functional parts. Purge the second stage
while you rinse it, to allow fresh water to access all parts of the second stage.
• Blow the equipment dry by using air pressure.
• After rinsing, close the cylinder valve and purge the regulator.
• Unscrew the regulator from the tank and mount the protective cap onto the
connection.
• Pack and store your regulator in your regulator bag. This protects the
regulator from damage. It is especially important to protect the connection areas.
The regulator should not be stored in direct sunlight and/or at high temperatures.
OXYGEN ALERT!
Never unscrew a pressurised regulator from the tank.
This can create a jet of gas over the o-ring and cause a fire.
WARNING:
Never use the 1st stage housing to unscrew the regulator from the
tank. This can fully or partly unscrew the connection stem from the
housing, and create a future hazard. Always use the handwheel.
