Looks like a bomb blew bits of Scuba gear all over my shower!
How do you wash/rinse your Scuba gear?

Welcome to ScubaBoard, the world's largest scuba diving community. Registration is not required to read the forums, but we encourage you to join. Joining has its benefits and enables you to participate in the discussions.
Benefits of registering include
If diving in Florida, I go cave diving before everything gets time to dry. If the coast of NC, I try to hit one of the quarries. Much easier to just go dive.
If not, then exposure protection goes in the washing machine.
Everything else goes in the bathtub or gear bins with an aquarium pump to circulate water.
Do you have a front-load or top-load washer? Is there any risk of the agitator messing things up?

The girlfriend of one of my students uses this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IFHFJXI/. I'm going to try it as it looks like it works well. Kind of nice to have a large cooler filled with water to do a preliminary rinse at the dive site.A two gallon pump sprayer helps at the dive site to get salt off the gear. I got the 1 gallon and might just use 1/2 gal myself, but the 2 gal seems one less bottle to carry for non-pump rinse water. After spraying I put gear back in a small tub and cover with water and a lid for the drive home. Then in tubs in the shower.
