The best tool is the SAFEST tool.
At Meridian Sub Tek, diver safety has always been our foremost design consideration followed by ergonomic function. We have incorporated a number of features that make our equipment safer than any other manufacturer’s equipment on the market today.
The design of our scrub head is inherently safe, and ergonomic function has been added for diver comfort. Our engineering department has incorporated a “dead man” on/off switch into our submersible scrub head. When a diver lets go of the trigger, the motor stops spinning. The counter rotating brushes are extremely stable and eliminate torque steer. The angled handles, combined with the counter rotating brushes, eliminate diver fatigue.
The electrical controls on the power cart are all waterproof (NEMA4X). The start button, low water light and the stop button are all low voltage (24VDC), thus eliminating any potential for shock hazard. A GFI circuit protects all of the electrical controls and operator in the event of a water based short circuit.
