he energy from the sun keep our Earth work. Without it, creatures on the Earth are going to perish. However, the heat and ultraviolet radiation emitted by the sun can be detrimental to you and your inflatable equipment. The sun radiation is likely to cause over-inflation to your inflatable products such as inflatable boat, inflatable life ring and blow up floats by heating the air in the tubes and damage the PVC material.

Over-inflation

To avoid over-inflation, you should get a good pressure gauge and use it regularly to make sure your boat is at a safe pressure. You can choose the pressure gauge according to the manufacturers or friends’ recommendation.

Here are some tips on how to adjust the pressure in the inflatable tubes based on changes in weather.

If you pump up your boat in the morning when it is cool, you should take the rising daytime temperature into account. You can either pump the boat to the pressure level lower than the recommended level or release some of the air out of the tube when the temperature rises in the noon.

On the contrary, if you pump your boat in the middle of the hot day, you might need to repump the boat when the temperature drops at dusk as the air pressure might fall.
