Inflatable Insulation Bladder Care

The instructions say stop inflating before all wrinkles have gone. After years of experiencing the deflating insulation bladder, I learnt a few things that I have been applying and haven't had any issues with my insulation bladders since.

Proper Inflation

Only inflate the bladder enough so it doesn't fall out of the cover (for Mono, Naval and Duet owners) when you put it on your MSpa.

The hot water of your MSpa will make the air in the bladder expand.

Checking for Over-Inflation

When you take your insulation bladder off of your MSpa, if you can't easily push your hand into the inflated bladder then it is over-inflated. Let some air out.

Storage Best Practices

I used to take my insulation bladder off my MSpa and stand it on its side next to the house or a fence. While the cover provides some protection for the bladder, this practice does expose some of the bladder to sharp objects that could cause a puncture.

If Standing on Its Side

If your available space requires you to stand the insulation bladder on its side, place it on top of some old beach towels or similar so that the chance of something causing a puncture is minimal.

Recommended Storage Method

My strong recommendation: if you are able, place the insulation bladder upside down on the cover on a flat surface. This way the cover is protecting the bladder from any sharp objects.
