Rinse out the bladder with fresh water at the dive shop or wharf by unscrewing a exhaust or vent valve and filling and emptying 3 times from all vents and inflator valve. Half inflate bladder with air and dry as much as possible before packing and plane ride home. Hang bladder 1/2 with air when stored at home. I let the Pros at LDS do most of the other maintance.
Did you get the Kydex plate???
I decided on the soft back plate route. I should receive Santa's gift to self next week. Unfortanatly I'll have to wait untill March before I can field test it.
Good diving with your new gear.
NO, NO! UWfan has a DSS setup, while rinsing my bladder I lost the gasket from the exhaust valve, I called DSS for a replacement and got an ear full. They do not recommend taking the valves off!
I do all of my own maintenance except for the regs.
