If an enriched air cylinder is used with standard compressed air, what should you do?

Using an enriched air cylinder with standard compressed air can present significant safety risks and complications. The correct course of action is to have the cylinder serviced by a qualified professional. This is essential because enriched air, containing a higher percentage of oxygen than regular air, requires specific handling and maintenance protocols to ensure safety and proper functionality. A qualified professional can verify that the cylinder meets the necessary safety standards for enriched air use and make any required adjustments or repairs.

In contrast, simply replacing the cylinder or ignoring the issue does not address any potential problems that may arise from improper use. Using the cylinder as is can also lead to dangerous situations, especially during dives where the increased oxygen content may create a risk of oxygen toxicity at certain depths. Proper service not only ensures compliance with safety regulations but also enhances the diver's overall safety during dives.
