Aquatica Surveyor Vacuum Valve and Pump Systems

Aquatica Surveyor Vacuum Valve and Pump

The Aquatica Surveyor Vacuum Valve and Pump System from Aquatica is engineered to provide underwater photographers with an advanced level of protection and confidence beneath the surface. While Aquatica housings are meticulously built, inspected, and tested, even the most robust sealing systems can be challenged over time by sand, debris, hair, or natural O-ring wear. The Surveyor system is designed to safeguard your valuable camera equipment against these unforeseen risks.

At the heart of the system is continuous sealing integrity monitoring. Once a battery is installed, the Surveyor’s integrated moisture detection circuitry remains on constant alert. If even the slightest trace of water contacts the sensor probes, the system immediately triggers both an audible alarm and a rapidly flashing red LED—ensuring you are instantly aware of potential intrusion.

For added assurance, the optional vacuum valve and pump allow you to create a vacuum inside the housing prior to entering the water. This simple, easy-to-follow pre-dive procedure tests the housing’s sealing integrity before immersion. When the system confirms a secure seal, a green LED blinks every five seconds, clearly indicating that monitoring is active and your housing is ready for safe submersion.

Should sealing integrity become compromised—whether by sand, debris, or other foreign material—the Surveyor responds instantly with both visual and audible warnings, giving you the opportunity to act before damage occurs.

Designed to match the physical dimensions of the earlier Aquatica #20023 moisture alarm, the Surveyor (#19229) allows for straightforward retrofitting. Upgrading an existing housing is as simple as removing the older unit and installing the Surveyor system. The updated circuit board now includes an integrated switch to activate the vacuum pressure sensor function, further enhancing usability and reliability.

With the Aquatica Surveyor, you can enter the water with true peace of mind—knowing your investment is continuously monitored and protected.
