Although Smaco mini scuba tank is designed for shallow water exploration there are inherent risks with ALL water activities. However, abiding by the Safety Guidelines can help to minimize those risks and ensure a safer experience.

For user safety it is strictly forbidden to use any Smaco product beyond a depth of 10m(As a backup air source, the SMACO Tank should not be used beyond a depth of 30m).

It is important to adhere to this depth limitation to ensure your safety while using the product. Using the SMACO Tank beyond the recommended depth can pose risks and may compromise the performance of the equipment. Please follow the guidelines and always prioritize your safety during diving activities.

CE-The Smaco mini scuba tank complies with PPE (EU)2016/425 tested to standard EN 250:2014/68/EU Respiratory equipment. This is the European standard for diving equipment to meet the demands placed on it at depth and under high breathing loads. This involved testing the device at a breathing rate of 62.5 l min-1, submerged in water at a pressure of 6 BAR absolute (equivalent to a depth of 50M). And However, the use of any Smaco cylinder beyond a depth of 10m is prohibited.

DOT-DOT certifications of DOT 3AL and DOT 39. Under the DOT 3AL specification, the cylinder manufacturers are required to utilize high-strength aluminum alloy materials, typically 6061 or 6062 aluminum alloys（Smaco tank is 6061 aluminum alloys), to ensure sufficient strength and corrosion resistance. The cylinders undergo a series of tests and requirements, including material testing, manufacturing process testing, burst testing, impact testing, and more, to ensure their safety performance under various conditions. Regarding the DOT 39 specification, it applies to seamless steel cylinders and steel hoop-wrapped cylinders. The specification sets forth the material and manufacturing requirements for these types of cylinders. The cylinders are constructed using specific high-strength steel materials and undergo appropriate manufacturing processes such as heat treatment and welding. Similarly, they must pass a series of tests, including material testing, manufacturing process testing, burst testing, impact testing, among others, to ensure their safety performance under various conditions.

To ensure safe usage, before using any Smaco products it is essential that you have read and understand all of the Safety Guidelines and User Manual. it is essential to carefully read and follow the instructions provided with the tank. This includes proper handling, maintenance, and storage practices. It is also recommended to receive proper training and certification in scuba diving before using the mini scuba tank.

Yes! We have a 12 month warranty on our products. You can find more information in the User Manual & Safety Guidelines.

For user safety, the SMACO is restricted to a maximum diving depth of 10m. Nothing will prevent you from descending further. However it is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN to descend beyond 10 meters.

What happens if I descend below 10 meters deep?

Nothing will happen to your cylinder, this limit has been set solely to limit the risk to non-divers. However, even at 1 meter deep, there are risks to the user if the safety instructions are not followed. 

The Smaco Mini Scuba Tank has an integrated pressure gauge which allows you to easily check the air pressure.

The cylinder contains compressed air, which is the same air as the ambient air that everyone breathes. It is also the same air that is contained in conventional diving cylinders.

With Refill adapter:

Our test results followed: 
For 0.5L container from 0Psi to 3000Psi, it spent 5-7s; 
For 1L container from 0Psi to 3000Psi, it spent 7-10s;
For 2L container from 0Psi to 3000Psi, it spent 15-20s.

With the Heap 1 12v mini compressor:

Under work voltage(12V DC or 110/220V AC), the engine speed can reach up to 2700r/min, and the air output is 11L/min.

Our test results followed: 
For 0.5L container from 0Psi to 3000Psi, it spent 11 mins; 
For 1L container from 0Psi to 3000Psi, it spent 26 mins;
For 2L container from 0Psi to 3000Psi, it spent 46 mins.

With the Smaco High-pressure Hand Pump:

-Around 15-20 minutes(only for 0.5l)

You must refill the cylinder in 5 minute sessions and let the pump cool down for one or two minutes because of the heat caused by the high pressure.

We only recommend using a manual pump as an emergency backup refill device.

Our Smaco tanks are only compatible with Smaco refilling methods. Our high-pressure Hand Pump and Smaco Electric Aic Compressor have built in air and oil filters to ensure the air is clean and safe.

Yes. When transporting the Tank via air, you MUST remove all air from the cylinder and unscrew the regulator. You will also need to declare that the cylinder is empty and open. Visual and Hydrostatic tests should be completed before use. After using any Smaco mini scuba tanks, allow a 24-hour window before flying.
