Should it ever become necessary, the inflation valves on your Wilderness Lite float tube bladders are quickly and easily removed and replaced with a new one. Over time the valves on the inflation bladders can become sticky and difficult to turn or frozen in place from excessive accumulation of dirt or extreme force when closing/opening. The aluminum barrel of the valve can also be affected by frequent use in salt water. To replace a valve, first remove the bladder from the cover of your Backpacker Pro. Heat a mug of water to boiling, hold only the valve and the end of the black tube in the hot water for one to two minutes, and the inflation tube will soften & expand allowing you to remove the damaged valve and immediately replace it with a new one. Allow the valve to cool for 10 minutes, then tightly inflate the bladder and test overnight at constant room temperature to confirm there are no air leaks.
