for those of you with a vacuum pump attached to your housing, do you ever entirely remove it to clean the o ring? If so how often?
 
I remove my o-ring to clean and lube about 1-2X a trip (about 50-60 dives each trip). I have a Nauticam housing so I just do it whenever it looks/feels dry. I don’t need to remove the system to remove that o-ring. It’s right on the outside. Is that the one you mean?
 
Hi Harro,

No, I clean that one daily, I mean do you unscrew the entire pressure button as there is a second O dining between the housing and the vacume unit. One that can’t be seen without removing the entire unit so you can see through into the housing.

Nope. I haven’t....but now you have me wondering.
