Maintenance Tips
- Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after every dive, including flushing the Balanced Power Inflator and all dump valves to remove salt and sand buildup.
- Operate inflate/deflate buttons while rinsing to clear internal air passages and prevent sticking.
- Drain completely and allow to air dry fully in a shaded, ventilated area before storage.
- Store partially inflated in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent bladder sticking and material fatigue.
- Inspect BPI inflator, dump valves, corrugated hose, buckles, and weight system regularly for cracks, leaks, or corrosion before each dive.
- Avoid bleach, solvents, petroleum products, and harsh chemicals that can degrade fabric, seals, and plastic components.
- Schedule periodic professional servicing of the inflator system and valves per manufacturer recommendation for safe performance.
