Scuba Gear

Salt has a major impact on both commercial and recreational divers, binding and jambing equipment, seizing zips on wet & drysuits and progressively shortening equipments workable life.

Removing salt effectively without causing problems to metal, glass, rubber, fabrics, etc. is simple with Salt-X products.

SALT-X SX50 will remove all salt and salt film from both external and internal parts of your dive equipment! As aggressive as SX50 is in removing even long term salt buildup, it will NOT harm rubber, fabrics, metals, glass, etc.

Above is a 30+ yr old Conshelf 14, with a lot of corrosion. It has not been serviced for a number of years and is used most weekends.

The regulator in the pictures was soaked in a 1 - 35 mix of SX50 and fresh water and is still a very servicable. The inside of the second stage was also heavily corroded, but this is out of sight so out of mind. Modern regulators have non-metalic second stages, but salt crust can still build up on the internal workings, making them sticky and more prone to malfunction.

Fabrics such as BCDs and Wetsuits can benefit from using either SX50 or Buster50:

Rinsing your equipment in fresh water goes a long way but does not get rid of all the salt, a residue still remains. Salt-X SX50 neutralizes and removes all the salt so it cannot reduce the life of the fabric or equipment. Plus your BC & wetsuit will be more supple and comfortable.

Salt-X SX50 is Diverite's recommended salt removal solution.

It's also a fast way to clean down underwater scooters, and wash off tanks, particularly bare aluminium ones, plus keep corrosion off the valves.

If you own a Dive Shop or are a Dive Tour Operator, using SX50 will add several years the life of your hire dive gear, wetsuits and BCs especially. Plus regs will be easier to service. With the costs involved in replacing hire equipment, that makes sound economic sense!

How to Use:

Simply mix SALT-X SX50 as directed and hold in a screw top barrel or bucket for dunking scuba gear, you can also use a garden type pump up sprayer for spraying down BCs and Wetsuits on a hanger or in the bath. Your zippers will soon improve and will appreciate the cleaning and lubing provided by the SX50 protective coating.

Don't rinse after using SX50!! Leave it to Air Dry on the equipment!

Change solution when salt film does not disappear when rinsing equipment.
