A700 Step-by-step maintenance procedures.
We are now ready to clean the separate components, using an ultrasonic cleaner
and suitable solutions, specifically marketed by SCUBA industry suppliers.
One source for such items is: Global Manufacturing Company.
Following is an excerpt from their web site.
“Perhaps the most effective way to clean small parts
including those from scuba regulators / valves is by
ultrasonic‟s. This requires a special machine which generates
high-frequency vibrations (beyond the
range of human hearing) within certain liquid
solvents. Forceful bubble impulsions bombard
virtually every surface of any material submerged
in the liquid; this cavitation literally blasts the contaminants
off the parts, producing a state of microscopic cleanliness!

¾ Isolate any delicate parts (like the orifice) to protect them from damage during the cleaning cycle.
¾ Detail the adjustable orifice using a
common pencil eraser.
An ample rinsing station with
running water is ideal.
Do not use solutions like: Vinegar, assorted
pool acids, toilet bowl cleaners nor the like. They
will cause irreversible damage to the chrome finish
of the A700.
