Salt neutralising system

DeSALT Concentrated

A biodegradable, non-toxic solution formulated to remove salt and help protect precision marine equipment after every trip.

01 — PURPOSE-BUILT PROTECTION

Break the
salt cycle.

Remove salt

Helps lift salt residue from gear, housings and marine surfaces.

Prevent build-up

Regular use helps reduce salt accumulation around controls and moving parts.

Protect equipment

Suitable for dive gear, underwater cameras, fishing tackle and boats.

WHY DESALT?

Fresh water dries.
Salt stays behind.

After a dive, fishing trip or day on the boat, saltwater can remain in seams, controls and hard-to-reach areas. As moisture evaporates, salt crystals and residue may remain on the equipment.

01

Salt reaches small spaces

Buttons, knobs, hinges, clips, threads and connectors can hold saltwater even after a quick surface rinse.

02

Residue builds over time

Repeated exposure without thorough care can leave deposits around moving parts and precision controls.

03

Movement can become difficult

Accumulation around controls may contribute to stiffness, sticking or unreliable operation.

04

Corrosion risk increases

Salt and moisture create harsh conditions for exposed metal components, fasteners and equipment surfaces.

The DeSALT difference

DeSALT is formulated specifically for salt-exposed equipment. It helps lift salt residue and reduce accumulation in places where a quick freshwater rinse may not provide complete post-trip care.

Important equipment-care note

DeSALT is intended to help reduce salt accumulation and the chance of controls becoming jammed. It does not replace the regular servicing required by the equipment manufacturer.

06 — PRACTICAL QUESTIONS

Before your
first clean.

Why not use only fresh water?+

Fresh water remains an important part of equipment care, but a quick rinse may not reach salt trapped around controls, seams and accessories. DeSALT adds a salt-focused treatment step to the routine.

How often should I use DeSALT?+

Use it regularly after saltwater exposure and before equipment is stored. Frequency should reflect how often the gear is used and the equipment manufacturer’s maintenance guidance.

Can I soak a camera housing?+

DeSALT is intended for underwater camera and video housings. Close and prepare the housing correctly, follow its manufacturer instructions, and operate suitable controls during soaking.

Does DeSALT replace professional servicing?+

No. It is a preventative care product that helps reduce salt accumulation. Regulators, BCDs, camera housings and other technical equipment still require inspection and servicing at the recommended intervals.

What equipment can I treat?+

Typical uses include dive gear, underwater imaging equipment, fishing tackle, marine surfaces, jet skis, tools and other salt-exposed ocean-sports equipment.

DETAILED USE GUIDE

Choose the right routine
for your trip.

During the trip: use DeSALT Ready To Use after each scuba dive for quick, convenient care. After returning home: use DeSALT Concentrated for a more thorough equipment soak and post-trip maintenance.

DeSALT ConcentratedPOST-TRIP SOAK
  1. Prepare the solution.

    Mix DeSALT Concentrated with clean water. Use a 1% solution for regular after-trip care, or 2–3% when equipment has had heavier or repeated salt exposure.

  2. Measure accurately.

    For 10 litres of water, add 100 ml for 1%, 200 ml for 2%, or 300 ml for 3%. For 20 litres, add 200 ml, 400 ml, or 600 ml respectively.

  3. Soak for 20–30 minutes.

    Fully immerse suitable equipment. While soaking, press the buttons and gently turn the knobs on suitable camera-housing and regulator controls so the solution reaches salt-prone areas. An overnight soak is not required.

  4. Rinse and dry.

    Remove the equipment, rinse thoroughly with clean fresh water, and allow it to dry completely according to the equipment manufacturer’s instructions.

DeSALT Ready To UseTRAVEL CARE
  1. Apply after the dive.

    After each dive—or after the final dive of the day—spray the solution onto salt-prone areas such as suitable camera-housing buttons and knobs.

  2. Work the controls.

    Press the buttons and gently turn the knobs on suitable camera-housing and regulator controls so the solution contacts the areas around them.

  3. Allow to dry.

    Let the treated equipment dry as directed. When the trip is over, follow with the DeSALT Concentrated soaking routine at home for more thorough post-trip care.
