Caring For Your Aquafit Float

The AQUAFIT range of therapy floats has been manufactured from fabric designed to withstand the rigorous demands of your hydrotherapy pool.

To ensure their longevity, Peppertown makes the following recommendations:

AQUAFIT floats should not be left floating in the hydrotherapy pool after use, nor should they be left lying on rough pool surrounds - instead, hang them up to dry and air between use. Be mindful not to place the floats on rusty shelves or hooks as this will leave unsightly marks.

AQUAFIT neck floats and pillows will often get a build up of facial make-up, oils and moisturisers. This may not be immediately apparent on casual inspection but will eventually become a source of unsightly mildew and fungal activity. If this occurs, it is suggested that the floats be brushed well with a solution of strong bleach and detergent, rinsed thoroughly and allowed to dry in the sun. Regular cleaning of neck floats in particular, is an excellent preventative measure.

All new AQUAFIT designs have zips to allow for the addition of polystyrene balls which tend to compress over time. Most neck collars for example, require additional beads after 2 to 3 months of consistent use.

Straps found on some AQUAFIT floats may be varied in length to accommodate different body shapes and methods of use. The straps need not be pulled tightly nor should the clips be forced open or closed. Rough handling, pulling and tugging will cause clips to break. As a consequence, it is an idea to keep a few clips in stock. Replacement black clips are available from Peppertown for your convenience.

Lastly, velcro has featured in some AQUAFIT designs. This deteriorates with constant use. Velcro is readily available and worn floats can therefore be easily repaired.
