Hello all,
I recently offered to help a new Dive Instructor, as his DM. He purchased a used dual tank DAN O2 kit and asked me to do what was need to ensure it was in good shape for classes. For the most part, the Kit looks like it has never been used. It has definitely been sitting on a boat, as it has a nice fresh fish smell.
I have been trained as an o2 provider, but no one ever discussed long term care of the equipment. Wondering if anyone would pass on some best practices.
Questions I presently have, -
1. Do you treat this kit like your normal gear? I am hoping not.
2. How long should you let the O2 sit in the tanks, before draining it and having it refiled?
3. What is the best way to clean the Regulator and Demand Valve?
4. Do you have the Regulator rebuilt at anytime?
5. How many years do these tanks last? They are presently 8 years old.
6. Anything else I may be missing?
Thanks....
