Why do my pool floats keep deflating?
Why do my pool floats keep deflating?
Pool floats deflate due to changes in air temperature. When your float is left out in the hot sun, the air inside of your inflatable will expand. However, when you leave your float outdoors overnight, the opposite effect will take place, causing your inflatable to deflate.

How do I know if my pool is leaking or evaporating?
Using the Bucket Test for Pool Leak Detection Mark the water level in the bucket and the pool water level on the outside. Wait 24–48 hours, then check the loss of both. If the pool loses more water than the bucket, then you have a leak. If both levels remain about equal, you’re likely only dealing with evaporation.
Do inflatables lose air in cold?
When we put the floatie in the cooler water, the air molecules in the floatie start to slow down and become more dense because of the change in temperature. For every 10 degree temperature drop, the innertube will lose around 1 psi, making it start to deflate.
Why are floats not allowed in pools?
Personal flotation devices tend to encourage children to venture into deeper water, or further from the wall, that the ability would permit otherwise. This situation poses a danger in itself, and in the fact that the preserver gives the child and his parents a false feeling of safety and security.
