The DeconWasher Pro S ensures excellent results without compromising function or quality despite its compact size. The smart design enables a high water flow through rotating wash arms, with nozzles designed to decontaminate and clean the gear with plenty of power. In addition, the generously-sized rinse system ensures the efficient removal of dangerous soot particles and residue.
To make the machine as user-friendly as possible, we decided to use a single resistive touch screen display, so you have complete control of your DeconWasher Pro S. With a modern user interface, inspired by the easy-to-use analog control panel of the Solo Rescue, you can run a wash program with a single tap on the screen. Apart from starting your wash programs, you will be able to follow its progress via a progress bar, change the wash and rinse temperatures, adjust the detergent concentration, alter the rinse volume, see the current number of completed programs since the last water change, get water change and service notifications, and more.
An optimized decontamination process often means having your decon washer turned on and ready 24/7. While in Ready mode, the ECO-mode of the DeconWasher Pro S will consume up to 55% less energy and still be ready for use within seconds. And depending on what your washing capacity needs are, you will be able to save up to 30% or more on detergent due to the smaller wash tank.
The DeconWasher Pro S is probably the smallest decon washer today that can wash a complete set of self-contained breathing apparatus including face mask and it has the capacity to clean up to 6 of them per hour. You can also use the machine to decontaminate the face masks on their own, in which case you would be able clean as many as 48 per hour.
Despite the power and efficiency of the DeconWasher Pro S, it still only needs a single-phase power supply. This makes the machine easy to install almost anywhere without upgrading your power supply, which can be very costly.

Cancer – the Number One Cause of Death Among Firefighters
According to numerous studies cancer is the number one cause of death among firefighters. In North America cancer caused 61% of the career firefighter line-of-duty deaths from January 1, 2002, to March 31, 2017. Firefighters also run a 9% higher risk of being diagnosed with cancer and a 14% higher risk of dying from cancer than the general population.

In order to minimize the risk for firefighters of being diagnosed with cancer we need to minimize their exposure to cancer causing toxic chemicals such as PAH particles. One way of doing that is trough thorough cleaning and decontamination of the PPE equipment. There are a few things to always bare in mind while doing so.
