Regulator inspection
Functional and pressure testing, a condition review, and adjustment as appropriate.
Equipment maintenance guide
Regulators, BCDs, and dive computers do not all share one universal service interval. The right maintenance depends on the equipment, manufacturer, use, and condition.
The important distinction
A functional inspection can identify developing concerns even when complete manufacturer-scheduled service is not yet due. When scheduled service is required, the work follows the applicable procedure for that supported model.
Functional and pressure testing, a condition review, and adjustment as appropriate.
Inflation and deflation testing, leak checks, inflator operation, and review of serviceable valves and components.
Condition review, battery service when applicable, and pressure-chamber testing when appropriate.
Depending on the equipment and manufacturer procedure, service may include disassembly, ultrasonic cleaning, inspection, required service components, reassembly, adjustment, and performance testing.
Work may include leak testing, inflator service, valve inspection, cleaning, and repair or replacement of supported serviceable components. Good rinsing and storage remain important between dives.
Do not wait for a scheduled service interval. Stop using the equipment and bring it in with a clear description of what you experienced.
Manufacturer requirements come first. Service intervals and procedures vary by manufacturer and model.
