Is the tube supposed to take in water. We've used it several times and tons of water gets inside the vinyl part covering the inflatable

Yes, the inflatable inner tube is inside the shell - the shell is not supposed to be water proof. That is by design.

Nope...mine stayed in perfect condition! I wonder if it is caused my water damage? It's basically just memory foam...and I know sometimes memory foam acts weird if exposed to excessive amounts of water.

It is a heavy duty plastic like material, I have not used it in the water but did read reviews on Amazon of people that said they used it in their pool. Stays inflated for the longest time, I have one set up in an extra room & haven't added air for over a month.

When I first used it I kept breathing in water...eventually I realised I needed to fiddle with the valve, the inner bits were just in the wrong place. After that ... Absolutely no issues. Good luck and happy swimming.

It has a vinyl tibe around the bottom you fill with water. I found that a little water holds it down ok. If it is windy it needs more water to keep it on the ground. Works great for my wife and I.

i just have a more powerful filter/pump attached which keeps the water agitated but for adding a ramp & a pump for current? I don't believe thats a good idea. Top inflatable ring needs a air replenishment every week or so to keep it semi rigid. Pool is fine for a few kids or just floating on a air mattress

My daughter has tried to go down without water, but she was in a bathing suit & the vinyl was too sticky against her skin. Could be possible with other clothes if they don't stick to the vinyl, but not sure. Landing might be rough without water in the bottom for padding.

We got to test out it's waterproof ability this year, when it poured so hard that we made trenches to send the water away from the tent and site. Two torrential storms went through that brought a lot of rain and wind. The water had risen to 3 inches up the side of the tent, but did not get inside at all. One thing we do find is that there will be condensation which ends up underneath the inflatable pads under the sleeping bags. This comes from sweating overnight, not from rain getting inside. We just open it up during the day to let it air out. You're not going to want to do that in the rain so it'll be difficult to get rid of the condensation, which there will be more of if you go into the tent wet. You definitely want a layer under your sleeping bag especially if you are going to be in those conditions for that amount of time.

I am not going to say it is easy, but I do inflate this inflatable by mouth. This inner tube holds up well to sitting outside all summer in the hot sun. I will be ordering a second one for friends this summer.

The tube slides in and out pretty well. There is a pouch on the belt that the mouthpiece fits into. Sometimes the mouthpiece leaks a bit when I try to get it back in. But i have had a lot of water packs. I really like this one.

The plexiglass is positioned so that it is "arched" therefore there is no issue with water remaining on top. However there were several issues I had with the one I bought and how the pieces fit together including the plexiglass staying affixed between the front and back tracks. It would blow out with winds and land on the ground. I would contact the company and make sure this will not be an issue.

It slides in and out really smoothly. However, once the tube pinches, it will keep on pinching, which means no more water will go through.

NO it is NOT inflatable it is somewhat strong material and the core is the Black base you are seen in the picture. it runs all the way to the top and holds water. YOu have to take out the red puching bag and fill up from that thank. Close then place back the Red exterior.

Yes! I use it in water all the time. It gets some water in it some times but it doesn't affect it's use.

Nope! It stayed fully inflated all summer, and never broke or sprung a leak no matter how many times peopke jumped into or out of it. However, don't leave it inflated and outside over the winter. My kids left it out and the ice and snow really did a job on it. I decided they wont get a new one this year.

Yes water gets in but the pellets allow you to float. The bean bag does need a place to drain afterwards.

I have not had mine that long and have not had that problem but it might be that the water intake tube is stuck in the top of the water tank.If so, push it down so it reaches the bottom of the tank. Another thing it might be is that calcium and mineral deposits could have built up. I know they sell a Shark water filtration bottle to stop that from happening.
