Constructed from high-wear-resistant 0.75mm thickened PVC, this booster ball offers superior durability against tears and aging for reliable performance in seas, lakes, and rivers. It features a reinforced multi-strand PE tow rope with a high tensile strength of up to 680 lbs (308 kg) and an 89.4-inch length to maintain a safe distance between the boat and the tube. Equipped with a speed safety valve, the ball inflates and deflates in under 5 minutes and folds compactly for easy transport. Its bright, vivid coloring ensures high visibility on the water, allowing users to easily locate the rope and towable. Please deflate and store after use and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

FAQs
How much weight can this booster ball handle?
The included tow rope has a maximum tensile strength of up to 680 lbs (308 kg).
Can I use this in saltwater?
Yes, the high-wear-resistant PVC construction is suitable for use in seas, lakes, and rivers, provided it is rinsed with fresh water after use.
How long does it take to inflate?
With a standard pump, the ball can be fully inflated or deflated in under 5 minutes.
Why does the rope need to stay out of the water?
Keeping the rope out of the water reduces drag, prevents the tube from 'submarining,' and minimizes the chance of the rope tangling with the boat propeller.
Should I leave it inflated on the boat?
It is recommended to deflate and store the ball after use to avoid damage from prolonged sun exposure and to keep it from blowing away.
What is the length of the included rope?
The included reinforced PE tow rope is 89.4 inches long.
Troubleshooting
The booster ball loses air pressure during use
Check that the speed safety valve is tightly secured and the seal is free of debris. Ensure the valve cap is fully locked.
The tow rope is fraying
Inspect the rope for signs of wear before every outing. If heavy fraying is noted, replace the rope to maintain the 680 lbs tensile strength safety standard.
Difficult to deflate or store
Ensure the valve is fully open and roll the ball from the side opposite the valve to force trapped air out before folding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Connect the booster ball to your boat's tow point, then attach your towable tube to the trailing end of the booster ball rope. Use the speed safety valve with a standard pump to inflate until firm.
Compatibility: The included 89.4-inch tow rope is designed for compatibility with most standard towable tubes and tow-point configurations on recreational boats.
Care: After use, rinse the unit with fresh water to remove salt or lake debris. Always deflate the unit completely before folding it for storage. Avoid leaving the ball under direct, prolonged sunlight, as UV rays can compromise the PVC over time.
