These instructions and safety notices apply to every Aquapac IPX8 case sealed with an Aquaclip clamp from 85mm to 350mm, including phone, VHF, camera, small and large multi-purpose cases.
Warning: Our warranty covers this Aquapac only, and not any items you may put inside it. We recommend that you insure the contents separately.
Using your case
Waterproofness
Our range has been independently tested to international waterproofing standards. However, the waterproofness of your Aquapac depends on you closing and opening it carefully, and on it not being damaged either before or during use. Please follow all instructions carefully.
Before every use
Seal something worthless inside, then submerge the case in a basin to check it is waterproof.
How to open and close different clamp sizes
Closing the case
- Make sure all parts are properly attached.
- Wipe away any grit or sand, which could hamper the seal.
- Always turn the levers as far as they will go. They should lock smoothly. If not, there may be something impeding the seal.
Opening the case
Never open your Aquapac in or under water.
- To stop any water getting in, first shake off any water, then dry the case with a towel.
- Hold the case with the opening at the bottom as you open it.
Care & specifications
Ongoing care
Our materials are strong but can still be punctured. Avoid sharp or abrasive objects and protect the case from impacts. After regular contact with chlorinated or salt water, or with sun creams, wash it in soapy water and then rinse with fresh water. Do not use bleach, alcohol or proprietary cleaners.
| Materials | Mostly rustproof plastics, including TPU, ABS, nylon and polypropylene |
| Air temperature range | -40ºC to +60ºC (-40ºF to +140ºF) |
| Water temperature | Up to +40ºC (+100ºF) |
Extreme temperatures
The case material is UV-stabilised, which means the plastic shouldn't be discoloured or broken down by sunlight. However, the Aquapac won't protect anything inside it from heat or sunlight. The soft case material stays functional and flexible within the temperature ranges above.
Humidity and condensation
In humid climates there will be moisture in the air sealed inside the case. Desiccant sachets absorb this moisture, keeping the contents completely dry. We recommend using desiccant sachets in all Aquapacs in humid climates. You can buy spare sachets from our accessories page.
