How Do I Clean Connectors After Saltwater Use?

Raskt svar

Rinse immediately with fresh water after each use. Soak in fresh water for 15 minutes if heavily exposed. Dry with lint-free cloth. Inspect seals and apply light silicone grease before storage.

Post-Use Cleaning Procedure

Immediate Rinse (On Boat/Platform)

1. Rinse connector with fresh water within 15 minutes of recovery
2. Use gentle stream, not high-pressure spray
3. Ensure all surfaces are rinsed, including mating faces

Deep Clean (Back at Facility)

1. Prepare fresh water bath (room temperature)
2. Submerge connector for 15-30 minutes
3. Gently agitate to remove salt deposits
4. Dry thoroughly with lint-free cloth
5. Inspect seals and metal surfaces

What NOT to Use

• ❌ High-pressure spray (forces water past seals)
• ❌ Solvents like acetone or alcohol (degrades O-rings)
• ❌ Abrasive cleaners (scratches sealing surfaces)
• ❌ Hot water above 50°C (damages seals)

Storage After Cleaning

• Store in clean, dry environment
• Use protective caps on both ends
• Avoid direct sunlight
• Temperature: 10-30°C ideal
