How should I store the Divesoft Liberty between dive trips?
Between dive trips, clean and disinfect the breathing loop, allow components to dry fully and store the Liberty in a clean, ventilated condition.
It is crucial to always properly clean your unit. When in use, the rebreather’s breathing loop can become a breeding ground for microorganisms from the diver’s respiratory tract and from the external environment. Following proper cleaning procedures can prevent the growth of microorganisms in the warm, humid environment that is your rebreather.
The purpose of regular cleaning and disinfection is to prevent the multiplication of these microbes to an extent that would pose a hazard to the user and to prevent the transmission of infection between various users.
Not more than a week should be allowed to pass from the first dive after disinfection, until the next disinfection if the CCR Liberty is stored in a cool place. When storing the rebreather at a temperature higher than 25 °C (77 °F), this interval is shortened to four days.
