SOFTSIDE & HARDSIDE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
After properly installing the heater:
1. Make sure heater is not plugged in.
2. Lay the safety liner inside the frame, matching
the seams in the corners of the liner to the
corners in the frame. Eliminate any creases
or folds in the liner over the area where it
covers the heater pad.
3. Unfold the mattress and lay it over the liner
with the valve side up, and the valve at the foot
of the bed. Take time to center the mattress
proportionally on all sides of the bed, as this
will ensure a correct fill. Pop up the telescopic
valve on the mattress. For easiest filling, you
should use the Fill & Drain Kit you purchased
(optional). The hose adapter screws into the
hose & will fit snugly into the valve without
causing any damage to the valve. Attach
the faucet adapter provided to the nearest
indoor faucet & screw the hose into it. Pour
water conditioner into the mattress. This will
inhibit algae growth. Repeat conditioner
treatment every 12 months. The use of vinyl
cleaner & protectant on the outside surface
is recommended 3 times annually.
4. Turn on warm water at a moderate rate and fill
the mattress until it is within 1/2” to 1” from the
top of the frame boards. With average water
pressure it will take approx. 30 - 45 minutes to
fill a King size bed, so check periodically so as
not to overfill it.
5. Test the mattress for comfort. Add or remove
a small amount of water until it feels most
comfortable to you.
6. Turn off the faucet and let the remaining
water in the hose drain into the mattress.
Then carefully remove the hose from the
mattress, leaving the valve popped up.
Have no fear, the water won’t spill out.
7. Remove the air from your mattress by moving
the air towards the filler valve with a broom
handle, rubbed smoothly against the
mattress. The removal of air will prevent
any sloshing sounds within the mattress.
8. Place the cap and plug insert on the valve
and secure. Push the valve flush with the
rest of the mattress.
9. Wipe up any and all spillage now, as it will
not evaporate. Some people are fooled by
believing spillage to be a leak.
SOFTSIDE & HARDSIDE DRAINING INSTRUCTIONS
If you do detect water on your mattress or
in the liner, do not drain your mattress until
you have located the source of the water.
Remember:
1. The primary cause of water within the liner
is spillage during filling which may go
unnoticed for months.
2. Often times a loose and/or improperly
tightened valve cap allows seepage. In
addition, the plug that goes inside the
valve must be placed in the correct
position and secured.
3. Occasional incidental tampering by members
of the household frequently accounts for the
appearance of water.
Therefore, prior to draining your mattress:
A. Completely dry the mattress.
B. Place a dry towel under the area.
C. Check the area after 24 hours.
D. If more water appears, locate and patch the
leak with a waterbed patch kit.
E. If you are unable to locate and patch the leak,
drain your mattress & return it to your dealer.
1. Unplug the waterbed heater.
2. Clear area below and around the draining
valve; fiber interiors can interfere with draining.
3. Drain mattress until most of the water has
been drained. Then carefully roll the
mattress (like a toothpaste tube), starting
from the end of the mattress opposite the
drain valve. (If your mattress is a fiber
mattress, be sure to grab fiber interior &
vinyl and roll simultaneously). As you roll
the mattress (lifting slightly to force the
water towards the drain valve), place an
object (with no sharp edges) in position
to prevent the mattress from unrolling.
This step is very important for two
reasons. One, it ensures that the interior
material will remain centered inside
your mattress. Two, it will force water
down to the drain valve. The more water
you remove, the lighter the mattress will be.
4. When the maximum amount of water has
been drained, replace cap & plug on the valve.
5. Wrap the safety liner around the rolled
mattress (to tie it) for removal to the new
location.
6. When re-installing the mattress, begin filling
only after the mattress has been unrolled,
unwrinkled and centered in bed. Interior
wave reduction material must lie flat (if your
mattress is not a full motion mattress).
