Chlorine in swimming pools and latex dry suit seals - divingbuddy - 05-28-2009
What effect does chlorine have on latex seals, does it shorten the life of them if not rinsed properly. It surely fades wet suits and BC's

Yes, Chlorine does damage to latex seals. Air does some damage, byproducts of combustion from gas furnaces and water heaters do damage. Sunlight is also damaging.
Just keep diving and rinse gear after use! ;D
