Main O-ring and keeping a waterproof seal

The SeaLife housing uses one O-ring to form a waterproof seal. Every housing is tested for quality and a waterproof seal. It is your responsibility to maintain the housing and ensure it remains waterproof. Our research and testing shows that 99% of leaks are the result of not cleaning or caring for the O-ring.

Warranty does not cover a water-damaged camera unless it is clearly determined that a manufacturing defect caused the leak.

The O-ring must always be kept clean and checked for damage before every use.

Carefully clean the housing surface that makes contact with the O-ring and inspect for scrapes and cuts. If the housing sealing area is damaged, contact the SeaLife Service Center.

Never use the housing without the O-ring in place.

If O-ring need replacement contact the SeaLife Service Center.

Do not remove or lubricate the O-ring.

The O-ring located in the housing lid groove is not glued in place. O-ring should not be removed unless sand, hair or other objects become trapped under O-ring. If O-ring must be removed use the other end of the cleaning brush to lift up O-ring and remove. Carefully inspect O-ring for cuts and damage. If this O-ring is removed, make sure it is carefully replaced. Do not twist or stretch O-ring. O-ring must be pushed into it’s groove. Be careful not to pinch O-ring when closing housing.

Each button assembly has an O-ring to keep a waterproof seal. It is normal to feel some resistance when pressing these buttons. If the button does not return to it’s original position or if the button does not have a smooth action, contact the SeaLife Service Center. Do not attempt to disassemble or service

the buttons.

Quick waterproof test

Wrap a small dive weight in a blue paper towel, place inside housing and close the lid to seal the housing. The blue paper towel makes it easier to see a leak. Make sure not to pinch the paper towel in the O-ring. Place the sealed housing in a tub of cold water for about one hour. No leaks should be present. If the housing shows sign of leaking, do not use the housing and contact the SeaLife Service Center for repairs.
