Lift and remove the lower sponge;
inspect for collected water.
Rinse, dry, and store the lower
sponge; disinfect if desired.
The sponge should be dried after every dive (even if a repetitive dive is planned), to avoid
potential problems with the oxygen sensors. It is also good practice to rinse, disinfect, and dry
the absorbent sponge following a dive. Any disinfectant solution that doesn’t have a negative
effect on plastics and/or rubber can be used for this purpose. Poseidon recommends using a
disinfectant called Gigasept™ or a disinfectant called Virkon.
