Maintenance & Care - Outex Underwater Housing Products

Clean, Dry, Store, Lube as Needed Clean Rinse the components of your Outex waterproof camera housing with tap/clean water and regular/mild soap when finished using the housing system. Make sure to remove any residue, sand, dust, or oils. It's ok to use a toothbrush on the threads to help you remove any debris. 

Durability, Maintenance, and Repair

Outex underwater products are built to last.  When properly maintained all of our components can last as long as your camera equipment. There's a dedicated Maintenance entry on this topic, but in summary: Rinse the Outex parts with mild soap and water after use to rinse and clean. Use a toothbrush to remove detritus from the threads or openings the human hand may not reach. Pad components dry with a towel or cloth and let them dry before reassembling parts back together. Avoid storing it wet or assembled. Store in a dry, cool place, just as you would your camera gear. Refrain from compressing the cover too tightly when stored, to avoid creating fold-marks. Protect the cover when installed on a camera by using our carrying case during transport, even inside a backpack, to avoid hitting other hard objects.
