Do not empty the mattress. Towel dry the area between the mattress and liner –water will
go under the mattress if you pull it up but will be squeezed back when you lay the mattress
flat (because the spilled water is firmly trapped between the side of the mattress and the
liner there often appears to be more water than there really is.
Locate the leak –most likely on the sides, corners and top (highly unlikely to be under the
mattress). If you are having difficulty locating the leak, apply gently pressure to the vinyl
by kneeling on it.
Keep absorbent tissue close by for when you find the leak. Once found, isolate the leak –
water will only seep from the mattress if the leak is below water level.
To stop the water escaping place a pillow or cushion under the safety liner in the area of
the leak. The pillow/cushion will lift the puncture above water level and stop the leak.
Mark the affected area and unplug and the Water Mattress.
Empty following instructions below.
Clean and dry the affected area. If necessary, use a small amount of acetone (nail varnish
remover) to remove any residue.
Put the adhesive on and around the damaged area (just larger than the patch). Wait one
minute. Apply an equal amount of glue to the patch and to the vinyl area being repaired.
While the glue is still fluid, apply the patch, pressing this on over the damaged area.
Use your finger nail or the rounded end of a teaspoon or paperclip to press the patch to the
vinyl (especially effective where a puncture is against a seam.
As it is setting, apply more glue over the top and around the edges of the patch. Leave the
patch to bond to the mattress and the excess glue to vaporise (minimum 30 minutes).
Unless your skin is sensitive to adhesives, it should be safe to spread the glue with your
fingers –wash them afterwards! Should the puncture be a small pin-sized hole only, the
adhesive may suffice without the need for the patch.
The patch may be trimmed with scissors before application if necessary.
Allow to dry thoroughly. Check again that all spilled water has been towelled up. Any water
left may cause an unpleasant odour.
Should the water bag have a puncture you are likely to notice droplets of moisture
around the zip of the PVC Cover. Subject to the size and severity of the puncture or
tear, it may be necessary to purchase a replacement bag or liner. Please use sound
judgement when deciding whether to repair or replace any components. The repair kit
may be an appropriate short term option, but a new bag or liner may well be
necessary if:
oThe leaking area is on the seam, especially in a place under sustained
pressure
oThe hole/tear is large and the repair kit does not effectively stop any leaks
