# Caring for your Nemo Pi

We recommend you conduct routine inspections of the buoy to identify any signs of damage, wear, or malfunction. Check for any loose or corroded parts, signs of water leakage, and the condition of the mooring lines and hardware. By performing regular checks and fixing any damage, you can prolong the life of your Nemo Pi buoy.

We recommend organisations check their buoys and any accompanying sensors at least monthly.

## Tips for checking your buoy

1. Check for signs of external damage on the buoy's body and secure any loose items
2. Check for damage on the buoy's waterproof casing. If you notice any damage to the casing, you can try patching it with Duct tape
3. Secure and enforce any loosened antennae or sensor cables outside of the buoy
4. Wipe off dirt and salt marks on the solar panel with a wet cloth

If you encounter any difficulty, [please contact the Nemo Pi team](https://docs.nemopi.com/overview/contact-us) for support. We can also help you organise replacement parts.
