Dacor/Mares Airtrim I have a Dacor airtrim and the inflate works, but the deflate does not. Is that a sticking valve? ow do I fix it? Thanks

To deflate the portable Therapure spa 050006 is easy. The trick is to realize that the black valve used to inflate is in fact a double valve. Remove the square threaded cap to inflate it.
1. To deflate the spa leave the black square threaded cap and below that you should find a round or winged coupler.
2. Unscrew this coupler off and immediately the air will start to escape. It shouldn't take more than about 2 minutes to deflate and you are ready to pack it away.
3. Return the valve (before doing so you could use a vacuum to suck out as much air as possible.)
4. Lay out the spa floor in a circle
5. Fold the three sides to the centre
6. Then lay the power unit on the folded sides.
7. Remove the coupler one more time to squeeze out any remaining air and then return it.
8. Roll the up the side to the original size of the spa before you opened it the first time.

Ofcourse youcan! Check out these two informative websites to learn how to inflate/deflatean exercise ball: www.livestrong.com/article/22214-inflate-exercise-balls/and http://www.livestrong.com/article/73718-deflate-exercise-ball/

You can inflate your water trampoline with either an electric pump or a manual pump. I suggest using an electric pump because it will save you a lot of time and effort. In terms of deflating, you also have 2 options. You can simply open the air valve and allow the tube to self-deflate or use a two-way air pump to remove the air.

unscrew the valve.

Use the threaded tip for the two main chambers, but be sure to turn the inside part of these valves clockwise to put them in the inflate position -- just press your finger on the valve and turn (the instructions aren't very clear on this). To deflate, push the valves in and turn counterclockwise.

For the orange twist valves use the tip that fits over them -- there is only one that fits snugly over them. Don't forget to open the valves (turn counterclockwise) before inflating and then close them (clockwise) before removing the tip. Just turn then cc to deflate when you're ready to put the kayak away.

I was able to inflate the Skedaddle 2 in less than 7 minutes on my second try, and I wasn't rushing at all. It's really pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

When squeezing the valve, is the flap at the bottom of the valve opening? This is usually the cause of this problem. Sometimes these valves need to be pinched while pressure is applied to the item to force the air out.
Does your air pump also vacuum? Many electric air pumps have 2 attach points - air 'out' to inflate and air 'in' to deflate. For largef items, this is much more efficient for deflating.

If it is a inflatable I would suggest mixing soap and water in a sprayer and inflate it back to normal then spray the whole kayak down and look for bubble, then youll find your leak.
