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 anti-bacterial solution e.g. Sard Oxyplus and detergent, rinsed thoroughly and allowed to dry in the sun. Regular cleaning of neck floats in particular, is an excellent preventative measure. Do not soak your floats in this solution for long periods of time as the polystyrene beads lose their buoyancy.

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. To ensure your Aquafit float is doing the job, Theraquatics offers a service to refill your floats with fresh, plump, brand new polystyrene beads. We will also check over your floats to make sure your clips, velcro and zips are in tip top condition. All this for a one-off fee of $12.95 per float. Just post your floats, an order form, and payment to:

Zips on all Aquafit floats have been modified to become tamper proof. To fill your Aquafit floats, open the zips with a paperclip. 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 Theraquatics for your convenience. 

Lastly, velcro has featured in some AQUAFIT designs. This deteriorates with constant use or if floats have not been properly rinsed after pool sessions. Velcro is readily available and worn floats can therefore be easily repaired.
