Nice!!! Have fun with it.

If you get the 150 gallon ones they make a nice hot tub too!

Re: Soaking Gear
Im leary of salt away. Not convinced it isnt hard on latex seals. Any evidence to the contrary?
Re: Soaking Gear
That's the dip tank I have always used for a good dive gear soak and rinse!

Re: Soaking Gear
I always fresh water rinse after salt away. I figure the salt away helps break down salt crystals better than just a rinse or a soak, especially when the rinse water will have salt in it anyways.Gdog wrote:Im leary of salt away.

Especially for my fusion which traps alot between the two layers you cant just rinse out.

Re: Soaking Gear
The real latex killers are heat and ozone - not salt. So just fresh water rinses are fine, although even they aren't really necessary.Gdog wrote:Im leary of salt away. Not convinced it isnt hard on latex seals. Any evidence to the contrary?

Re: Soaking Gear
Jack, what I was referring to was the chemical makeup of salt away. It does a great job on salt. I used to use it but after a few months all the seals on my drysuit became mushy like they had come into contact with gasoline or something. I can't say for sure that it was the salt away, but I stopped using it right then, replaced the seals, and got a good lifespan out of the next set. Again, I have no proof, but the salt away was the only new variable in the equation.
Re: Soaking Gear
I have no idea, ingredients are 'proprietary'. Regardless, buying salt away for dive gear is like rinsing with bottled water
It might make sense for winterizing boats or something like that.

Re: Soaking Gear
Those tanks will fit two X-scooters . . .
I wish they put the drain a little lower in the tank, though. You have to turn the thing over to empty it.

Is there an adapter that you can purchase for the drain plug so that you can attach a hose to it?LCF wrote:Those tanks will fit two X-scooters . . .

Re: Soaking Gear
Take the plug to home depot or someplace like that. You can get a PVC ball valve, and a reducing coupling which will bring it down to garden hose size.

Re: Soaking Gear
I paid for a galvanized 55g tank at Dells more than that. That's a nice deal.

Re: Soaking Gear
I have the Fusion Bullet and have been wondering how other divers soak their dry suit of any brand. How do you close off the seals so that you can submerge the suit in order to soak it. As for the seals, I got ours with silicone seals.Jeff Pack wrote:I always fresh water rinse after salt away.

Re: Soaking Gear
I've never soaked a dry suit. I have soaked the exhaust valves, when they got sticky. Otherwise, I just give the thing a good hosing, paying special attention to the zipper and the valves. Seems to work okay for me.

+1. Never had a problem just hosing it down.LCF wrote:I've never soaked a dry suit. I have soaked the exhaust valves, when they got sticky. Otherwise, I just give the thing a good hosing, paying special attention to the zipper and the valves. Seems to work okay for me.
