Just recieved my new wing from ST a couple of weeks ago, i left the wing fully inflated overnight and the next day it had gone pretty soft, is that a major concern? defective wing?

[Aquatrax]

I would be concerned. I have the same wing and performed the same test but mine remained fully inflated. I would check the inflator connection point and see if it might be loose.

Also give Joe a call, I thought I remembered reading a thread about a bad batch.

I wouldn't think that's normal... call and have them fix it for you.

Fill the bathtub up and figure out where it's leaking from before sending it back. Might be something real simple to fix.

Goodluck.

This would be my suggestion as well. I have one of these wings and mine is as tight as a drum. Immerse the wing in a tub and put some weight on the center part where there straps go through, checking both sides of the wing. Check the bottom dump, tighten the plastic cover and do the same with the plastic ring at the elbow where the corrugated hose comes off. Hopefully, someone just didn't tighten them up enough and you won't have to go through the hassle of return/exchange. Good luck!

thank you so much for all the advises guys, really appreciate it, will check on all the connection point and do the water immersion test right away!

Also take a close look at the dump valve and corrugated hose connections. You have a fairly small leak so you may have to look carefully to discriminate between a few bubbles that were trapped on the outside and the actual leak.

[nikefreekz]

will definitely do that, thanx!

I have heard of some of these coming with loose valves, see if yours is tight. I doubt it'd be a hole or something serious. A wing should hold air forever by the way, certainly longer than overnight.

Yup.

But, my money will be on the elbow. If it is there , Unscrew, make certain it is seated properly and carefuly rescrew and snug down without cross threading. Re-do the water test.
