Trident BCD Washout Hose

The Trident BCD Washout Hose lets you easily hook up your garden hose to your standard BCD inflator for easy BC bladder cleaning.

Rinsing your BCD Bladder is important to the life of your Buoyancy Control Device. Mineral deposits and salt crystals when allowed to dry can cut right through the Urethane Laminate or Bladder requiring replacement of the BCD bag or bladder. This unique design not only cleans your BCD Internal Bladder, but it also cleans your Inflator mechanism. The Trident BC Wash-Out Hose is designed to fit on any inflator with a standard male QD Nipple.

The hose allows you to wash the inside of you BC to remove build up salt crystals or foreign debris. Simply hook the hose to a standard garden hose fitted with a 20mm (3/4”) BSP connection (or adaptor) and push inflator button. Making scuba equipment maintenance a snap, simply slowly fill the BCD Bladder half full of clean fresh water, slosh it around and invert the BCD and let the water drain from all Valves. Once you're done, inflate the BCD and let air dry, that easy! Hose is manufactured from the same durable materials as your BCD Inflator Hose.

What We Think

It can be a pain trying to force rinse water into BC inflators, and we often resort to pulling off the inflator hose or dump valve to speed things up. So this gadget turned out to be a real time saver — taking into account we're often rinsing several BCs at a time. It screws onto a garden hose and clips to the BC inflator. Put some air into the BC, fill it about 1/3 with water, swoosh it around and release some through each of the dump valves and the inflator, and repeat until it rinses clear.
