The dynamics of inflatable boats have made tremendous strides since they were first introduced to the market. The most important issue with them is that they should remain inflated while in use. This over-rides all other considerations. Manufacturers are well aware of this, and as a result have introduced various valves which can be relied upon to keep the boat inflated even with the worst water scenario.
One of the simplest and cheapest types of inflatable boat valves (and which may perhaps still exist on the lowest priced models of inflatable boats) is the simple blow up valve, a rubber/plastic funnel shape with a cap on top. Once the boat is inflated, the funnel is pushed down and becomes recessed. There are two basic problems with this type of valve. The first is that it is difficult to use in the inflation process, the second is that it is equally difficult to put the cap on without air escaping.
It is an important point to note. When choosing an inflatable boat – give priority consideration to the type of valves it has. Make sure they will do the job they are supposed to do.
A few of the most common types of inflatable boat valves found today are:
Boston Valves. These are one-way valves which have two parts. The top part is used to inflate the boat, letting the air in but not letting it out. They are popular because they have proved themselves to be effective. They can be inflated with the a pump like Coleman’s Large Small Action Quick Pump, or with a bit of innovation, a vacuum cleaner
Halkey Roberts Valves: This company specializes in various types of valves. The one in use with inflatable is a twist type valve with mechanical sealing. A double seal protects the fill and deflate process. The valve is made from acetal and aluminum.
Push Push Valves: These always retain their shape because they do not absorb humidity. Therefore they do not leak. Valves made from nylon can absorb humidity and therefore leakage is posssible as there shape may become distorted. The Push Push valve is round and lies flat. It has a double silicone seal.
Leafield Valves: This company is a world leader in the design, development and manufacture of air valves for the industries using them including inflatable boats. They can be recognised by their number description like AC, C7, A10 etc.
Achilles Valves: Made for and by the manufacturer of Achilles Boats
Avon Valves: Also made for and by the manufacturer of Avon Boats
Zodiac Valves: Made for Zodiac Inflatables.
The other point to note about the way inflatables boats are built today is the number of chambers (air compartments) they contain. This makes sense for if one fails for any reason, there remain more to keep the boat afloat.
Keep your inflatable boat valves in good order. It is possible to repair or replace them if they are found to be faulty.

When you think of an inflatable jumping castle, you think of lots of playing happy kids jumping around in the backyard or in the park. That’s the beauty of an inflatable jumping castle or any other inflatable bouncy castle or bouncy object. They allow kids the opportunity to play for hours in a controlled environment without hurting themselves. The parents don’t have to wonder where the kids are. They can hear their children playing inside of the bouncy toy and they can rest assure that their child is safe and is having a good time.
There are some things to keep in mind when renting or purchasing an inflatable castle or another inflatable bouncing object. First, you need to make sure that you are buying or in most cases renting, a bouncy castle that is made out of safe material. There are standards in the U.S. and the UK that govern the type of material that bouncy castles and other inflatables can be made out of. This is for the protection and the safety of those who will be bouncing the castle. If the material isn’t durable enough, the bouncy object could tear and puncture easily. This would be a danger to the children because they could fall right to the hard ground, get stuck inside of the material, choke, or suffocate to death. On the other hand, if the material is too harsh, the children can break their bones or suffer friction burns when they land on the material after bouncing. This is why the material that is used is regulated and certified to be safe.
If you are renting an inflatable toy, you need to make sure that the rental company will be responsible for the set up of the bouncy castle, the removal of the castle and for maintenance. The rental company needs to ensure that the bouncy castle is maintained in a way that is sanitary. Find out their methods for cleaning the castle. If the castle doesn’t get a good disinfecting cleansing, you don’t want your children to use it for obvious reasons. Make sure that the rental company repairs any rips and slits.
If you are buying an inflatable castle, make sure that you can get a money back guarantee if you are unhappy. Make sure that you can buy your purchase from a company that will give you complete instructions on how to use and care for your bouncy castle.
Whether you rent, or purchase a jumping castle for your kids, you will be happy with your decision. Just make sure that the inflatable is safe, clean, and maintained well and your backyard parties or your parties in the park will be the event that all of your child’s friends will want to attend.
