Maintenance on banana plugs preserves the vital handshake between your timing equipment – when these connections get dirty or corroded, it’s like trying to have a conversation through a bad phone line. In the fast-paced world of swim meets, where every split second counts, a poor connection can mean missed times, false readings, or even complete system failures. Pool environments are particularly tough on these connectors – all that chlorine, humidity, and constant handling can create buildup that interferes with the electrical connection.
Regular maintenance helps banana plugs last longer, saving you money and hassle in the long run. Just a few minutes of preventive care can save hours of troubleshooting and potential meet delays.
