How to Maintain Your Alpha SmartTemp Gel Liner
Your Alpha SmartTemp Gel Liner incorporates Phase Change Materials (PCMs) that help regulate the liner's temperature by storing heat from your body or the surrounding air. This storage helps prevent the liner's temperature from rising excessively. However, there is a limit to the amount of heat the PCMs can store. Once this limit is reached, the liner will behave like a standard liner in terms of temperature regulation. To restore the cooling benefits of the PCMs, you need to remove the accumulated heat from the liner.
Here’s how you can do it:
- Remove the Liner: Take the liner off your limb.
- Cool the Liner: Place the liner in a cold or air-conditioned environment for a few hours. This allows the PCMs to release the stored heat. For faster results, you can immerse the liner in a cold basin of water. Simply running the liner under cold water might not be as effective in completely removing the stored heat.
Note: The duration required to release the heat depends on the amount of heat stored and the method you use to cool the liner.
