What do you use to pump up a swimming ring?


There are two ways to inflate a swimming ring:

The first method is to use a hand-powered air pump and insert the air nozzle into the filling hole of the swimming ring to inflate it.

The second method is if it is made of soft plastic, you can pinch the bottom of the water filler hole of the swimming ring with your finger and blow air with your mouth.

Before inflating the swimming ring, you need to wipe the water filling hole of the swimming ring clean to avoid foreign matter blockage. Gently pull out or push out the inflation valve so that it protrudes from the surface of the swimming ring and open the stopper, and gently squeeze the root of the air nozzle as it has a plastic plate that prevents air leakage. After filling, squeeze the connection between the straw and the filling hole firmly, pull the straw out with your mouth and cover the soft plug in time to prevent air leakage.

Before using the swimming ring, you need to pay attention to the following four matters:

1. As it is a plastic product, please clean up the soil before use, and if possible, put a clean cloth on the ground to prevent sharp objects from piercing the plastic.

2. plastic products can be inflated for 8 minutes the first time, as the pool is measured and inspected by the manufacturer after emptying, due to the toughness of the plastic, the size of the first use did not exceed the manufacturer's information, plastic products for the first time in the inflatable, it will be loosened after 24 hours, and then an inflatable.

3. don't over-inflate your baby's swimming ring in winter, because the current indoor temperature is limited, if it's too full, there is cold air inside, when put into hot water, the baby swimming ring will be over-inflated, due to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction at the interface explosion.

4. Before using the baby swimming ring in winter, soak it in water temperature of 30-40 degrees for a while, wait for the material of the baby swimming ring to become soft and the air inside to adapt to the water temperature before using it.
