The
Regulator Set Repair Process
A
scuba regulator is a complex piece of life-support equipment.
It represents a considerable amount of investment and value.
Over the life of your regulator, contaminates from sand, salt, and
chlorine can corrode your regulator, affecting performance and reliability.
That’s why it is necessary to have your gear serviced by a certified
repair facility. Let Mermaids Dive Center service your regulator.
Our
final ‘Quality Assurance’ test will verify that: -
-
The regulator is adjusted to specification, and then
checked by a human to assure that beyond the specification,
it really does breathe OK.
-
Any authorized Modifications & additions have been
carried out.
-
All the hoses have been refitted correctly, the connections
are tight, and no bubbles are emitted from anywhere.
-
All unused ports are plugged
-
All old parts are ‘bagged’
-
Any replacement parts are priced
-
Paint marking are made on adjustment devices to ‘fix’
the current service state an indicate any future user tampering
-
The warrantee card is filled out.
