Troubleshooting

Ensure the balloon has been filled with sufficient helium. Check for any slow leaks around the valve.
Balloon appears deflated quickly
This can be due to temperature changes; move the balloon to a more stable environment. Ensure the valve is securely sealed after inflation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up this balloon, you will need a helium tank or a professional helium filling service. Gently insert the helium nozzle into the balloon's inflation valve and fill until firm but not overinflated. Avoid overfilling, as this can cause the balloon to burst. The balloon is compatible with standard helium tanks. Keep the inflated balloon away from sharp objects, open flames, and extreme heat or cold, as these conditions can affect its integrity and float time. Store uninflated balloons in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
