NOTE: If taking a Mains powered Airflo to a country with 110v supply, a 110v to 230v step up transformer will be required. If taking a Battery powered Airflo to a country with 110v supply, a 110v Airfo battery charger can be purchased through Mangar International).

Can I use my battery Airflo plugged into the mains power supply?
The battery Airflo will work while plugged into the mains, but it will still be running off the battery power. The batteries will charge when the Airflo is not in use but any operation will halt the charging and power will be drained from the batteries. For heavy use we would recommend that you use an Airflo Mains compressor.

Do I leave the Bathing Cushion inflated after I use it?
We advise that if possible you leave the Bathing Cushion inflated after you have finished bathing. It will go down itself after 60 to 90 minutes, in which time it will have had a chance to dry off before being removed and stored. You may of course dry the product with a towel if you need to remove and store it immediately. We also advise the product is cleaned properly once a week, or more often if you are using bath oils. Cleaning instructions are included in the User Manual.General FAQs

How many baths can I get out of 1 charge?
The amount of baths can vary on a number of factors; how much the user or users weight, how old the batteries are and most importantly, how well the batteries have been maintained and charged since purchase. We recommend that batteries are left on charge when not in use. Not only will this mean they are always ready to give enough power for several baths, it will also keep the batteries in optimum condition for a longer life.General FAQs
