B.C. Cleaning & Care

• 
• 

  Maintain Your BCD

  B.C. Life™ removed 4 tablespoons of salt from one B.C. (left) - some of the crystals were 1” wide! Salt crystals will abrade your B.C. bladder, hoses, O-rings and valves, irreversibly damaging this vital piece of gear.

• 

  Clean your B.C. regularly with B.C. Life to preserve and condition the shell, interior lining, hose and valves and to eliminate damaging salt crystals.

• 

  Step 1:

  Pour 4 capfuls (1 oz) of B.C. Life into the mouthpiece, pressing the oral inflate button with your thumb.

• 

  Step 2:

  Fill B.C. with fresh water and shake to mix with B.C. Life. Turn B.C. upside down and sideways to thoroughly clean all chambers.

• 

  Step 3:

  Drain B.C. through the mouthpiece and through the bottom dump valve.

• 

  Step 4:

  Soak B.C. in 1 oz B.C. Life to 1 gallon water for 10 minutes to clean exterior. Rinse interior and exterior thoroughly. Hang B.C. partially inflated in a cool, dry place to air dry.
