Cleaning Bc Bladder Without Getting Water On The Sensors & Wiring To Sensors

ChettL · 11th February 2008, 19:29

Last weekend during my equipment washing after diving, I got a small amount of water on my sensors and wiring to sensors.

I cleaned up the water using a Q-tip. This problem happened because there was a small amount of water left in the inside of the bucket and when I turned the unit up side down to flush fresh water in the BC Bladder.

I know that I will have to fully test the Sensors before diving next time.

What other ways are there to clean the unit to avoid getting water on the sensors after diving?

In order to clean the BC Bladder and empty out all the water I turn the Prism upside down to let water come out of the Atomic SS1.

The only solution that I see next time is to completely dry off the inside of the bucket and remove the foam pad before turning up side down.

I cleaned the bladder with the unit disassembled.

Smaller, less weight, easier to handle.

If you're worried about getting the sensors/loom wet bit a shower cap over the head.

Sooner or later you'll want a normal bp(or soft harness) / wing setup anyway,
then removing the bladder is only two screws away.

I second Stefan's suggestion.

Besides, taking bucket off and removing scrubber will make the unit a bit lighter and easier to manage.
