Tips For Cleaning Scott SCBA's

[RWC130 594]

I obtained the "proper cleaning and disinfecting instructions" for Scott SCBA.

They have a cleaning product out specifically for Scott SCBA.

It's called Multi-Wash. It can be used on the masks, adapters, and regulators. As per Scott this is the ONLY product that should be used as other agents may be harmful to the equipment, some

might even void the warranty. #-o

This product is available at AAA Emergency Supply in White Plains.

Gallon costs $42.00... to be used in a spray bottle form.

The Handy-Wipes are also available box of 100 for $45.00 however Scott recommends a full cleaning after EVERY USE with Multi-Wash. (Handy-Wipes are not a product of Scott)

Just thought I might pass this helpful information along!

LOL. Of course, how else could they corner the market on their "nuetral detergent."

I wonder how many departments actually properly and regualrly clean both their facepieces and the actual pack infastructure, as well as the bottles.

As a rule of thumb, we clean the masks after every use.

The packs are checked weekly, and after each use. If they need to be cleaned, they are. We generally use the wipes after each use, and that Scott cleaner after long-time use.

Now, if only someone could create a battery that lasts more then a few months for the PAS alarms, then I would be happy.
