Gates introduces Seal Check

Seal Check provides a fast and easy verification of housing integrity before entering the water.

San Diego, CA – October 25th, 2007 – Gates Underwater Products, the global leader in reliable underwater housings, introduces Seal Check, a new testing product that allows Gates customers to confirm housing integrity prior to water submersion.

In the real world housing leaks occur. Damaged / compromised o-rings, rushed setup, and unfamiliarity with equipment are the top 3 reasons for leaks and floods. Until now, moisture alarms were the only line of defense against water intrusion, often sounding the warning too late.

“Seal Check is like a water alarm that goes off before entering the water” says Pamela Mazey Mertz, Gates Sales Director. “With the increasing cost of cameras utilized underwater, the peace of mind Seal Check offers is unprecedented.”

Seal Check supplements Gates’ legendary reliability and ‘bulletproof’ housing designs by virtually eliminating water intrusion as a cause for downtime. Seal Check is also user-friendly and provides a quick verification of seal integrity.

Seal Check comes as a complete kit in a small, transportable Pelican 1150 case. Factory installation of a test fitting is required and can be done either at time of order or as a retrofit to any Gates housing.
