It is EXTREMELY important that you do not over-inflate a Tufted Minnidip. As explained in the instruction manual, when filled with water, the water pressure expands the pool and stretches it… especially as the vinyl and water warm up in outdoor conditions. If over-inflated, this pressure will compromise the seams and can result in tears on the weld lines. If you exchange your Tufted Minnidip, ensure that you DO NOT OVER-INFLATE or put pressure on the walls by sitting on or straddling them. Please contact the retailer where you purchased your Minnidip for their exchange policy at this time, or submit a support ticket below.
