Troubleshooting
Balloon does not inflate easily
Gently stretch the balloon opening before inserting the pump or nozzle. Ensure the balloon is not old or brittle.
Balloon loses air quickly
Check the knot for tightness. Ensure there are no small punctures or tears. For helium, the natural latex permeability means some air loss is normal over time.
Balloon pops during inflation
Do not overinflate the balloon beyond its 12-inch capacity. Ensure the inflation nozzle is smooth and not sharp.
Color appears different than expected
Color can vary slightly due to monitor settings and lighting conditions. Natural latex can also have slight color variations.
