Important Notices
»The vacuum pump is not airtight. Do not leave the
vacuum pump attached to your system overnight.
»The vacuum valve is only waterproof with the plug in
place. Never submerge the housing in water without the
plug properly installed in the valve.
»Vacuum systems are only capable of simulating depths
up to 33 feet (10 meters). Some very small leaks, like
those caused by a ne hair across the o-ring, may only
occur at deeper depths. In most cases, these leaks are
not signicant enough to cause damage to a camera.
