HH Handsets

Tecdiverfl · 3rd May 2006, 20:30

Well now that I finally have my handsets back I am wondering what the best way to keep them clean is.

I have heard of people using Salt-X
Others using silicon spray

salt-x

I was told to rinse, Salt-X and then spray with silicone for the old sets. Would that still be true for the new cases with the steel bezels?

I just clean them with fresh water and let them dry. Seems to work.

Salt-X or just stay out of that nasty salt water and cave dive.

Hi
Excuse a silly question, but what is salt-X ??? I have started to dive with the new HH and have some problems to keep them free from salt. I have never heard of this product before, where can i buy it ???

Best regards

I would advise against silcone spray... if it manages to make it's way into
the battery compartment, you ultimately could have some problems with
intermittents... see the 'tek-tip' on this page....

Salt-X is a product widely used in the marine boating community to help
clean salt deposits and retard corrossion. -- Mark
