Care and Maintenance

  • Cleaning: After each use, rinse the float and motor unit with fresh water to remove chlorine, salt, or debris.
  • Drying: Thoroughly dry all components, especially the motor and battery compartment, before storage. Water ingress into the battery compartment can cause damage.
  • Battery Care: Always remove batteries from the motor unit when the float is not in use or before long-term storage. This prevents corrosion and extends battery life.
  • Storage: Store the deflated float and motor in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid folding the float tightly to prevent creases or damage.
