Maintenance & cleaning
• Remove any distracting air bubbles from the mattress by removing the air from it 2-3 times during
the first 14 days. If air is constantly/continuously being formed it is recommended to add Akva
Quiet when removing the air.
• Clean the surface of the water mattress at least every 3 months. Combined treatment with Vinyl
Wash and Aqua Guard is recommended.
• Add the bactericide and algicide Long Life once a year.
Draining the mattress
Contact your dealer who will give you the guidance you may require regarding leasing a pump or the
actual process of draining the mattress.
Note: Draining and refilling a mattress considerably reduces the stabilisation effect. This reduction
partially recedes after a couple of weeks, but expect a permanent reduction of approx. 10-20% after
draining.
Drain the mattress using a pump from your local Akva-dealer and dry off any external moisture. Roll up
the mattress carefully from the head end and be careful not to push and displace the stabilisation layers
inside the mattress. To prevent the stabilisation layers from being displaced, it is important that the
mattress is completely drained.
Storing
Store the mattress rolled up. The mattress must neither be piled up nor exposed to frost.
Patching
If holes appear in a water mattress, carefully follow the following procedure:
• Empty the mattress. Make sure that the fibre layers are not displaced.
• Fill the mattress with air for instance using a vacuum cleaner.
• Locate the hole and clean it with a cleansing tissue.
• IMPORTANT: No water must come out. The repair area must be completely dry.
• Cut a round patch with a diameter 1 cm larger than the hole.
• Apply glue to the mattress (the glue must cover a larger area than the patch.) Then apply glue to
the patch.
• Let the glue harden for about 2 minutes before placing the patch on the mattress.
• Now cut another patch with a diameter 2 cm larger than the first patch. Repeat the gluing process.
• Let the repaired area harden for min. 2 hours before letting the air out and refilling the mattress
with water.
If you follow these instructions accurately, you will soon be able to sleep in your waterbed again.
Warranty
The warranty depends on cleaning and maintenance according to the instructions and only applies when
the mattress label is still attached to the mattress.
