    Problem. Please Help

    I’ve recently been purchasing older inflatables off eBay and recently noticed a problem with the smaller valves. In some designs the valve wants open on it’s own and starts deflating the inflatable. How do you fix this rather frustrating problem? Please no sarcasm, I am looking for constructive ideas here.

    I have had this problem with one of mine to. Have you tried taping it down? That's what I did it isn't permanent but it's a quick fix anything to hold it down

        I save larger valves from old inflatables and replace the small valves like you are talking about. Yes valve replacement is a big fix, but well worth it to hold air and quick inflation/deflation.

          Try cleaning it with some isopropyl alcohol, that has worked for me in the past.
