Quick question on inflating an inflatable float

nishthefish · Apr 29th 2015

Hello all!

So I just bought this on impulse from a sports retailer here in Dubai;

Sad thing is, it comes without any documentation. Just the components in an Omer plastic cover.
I'd assumed that it would be possible to inflate the internal bladder by mouth, but it seems to be blocked?

My question is, do I need to poke a hole on the inside of the valve because it is new? Or do I need to get it pumped by a high pressure pump?

Bite the valve while blowing.

And be prepared to buy a new one in a couple months.... :rolleyes1:

Marco is right most inflatables like that have oneway valves so biting or pinching the valve stem will make it easier to inflate.

Thanks Marco!
It worked. I dunno how I never thought of that!

I know it's "Jomer", so lets see how it works over time:laughing:
