Poolmaster FAQs How do you inflate a pool float? Use a flat surface, locate the air valves, insert the air source, inflate until firm (don’t over-inflate). See instructions “pinch the base of the valve… insert air source… stop inflating once the item feels firm” etc. What are the usage and care instructions for my inflatable? Clean with mild soap & water, rinse, dry thoroughly before storage, avoid sharp surfaces or exposure that could damage the vinyl, avoid over-inflation. What is the difference between an X-Beam and an I-Beam mattress construction? An I-Beam mattress construction is larger and stronger, providing more durability, whereas X-Beam is lighter / less strong. What is a Boston Valve? How and why do we use it? Boston Valve is a kind of oversized air valve (with two caps) used for large inflatables; the design facilitates quick inflation and deflation. What features differentiate a high-priced inflatable from a lower-priced one?
