Is this suitable to use as a floatation device in a pool?

It is mfg. for rescue use. Would not recommend for recreational pool usage. We were satisfied, made well. Does have a rubbery finish which rubs brick on house when hung. We bring inside when heavy winds blow. To verify usage I suggest calling mfg. Have blessed day. :)

We bought for our yacht to replace the one that was deteriorated by the sun. The are required by the Coast Guard for rescue. It is a flotation device for safety.

No, it is extremely slippery for one, and it has absolutely no internal support. It would be like trying to stand on a floating carpet. This would only be mildly useful for small (skinny) children, or someone who is just looking for a flotation device that resembles a surfboard.

I use it in my above ground pool, however you do need a strong post or something to anchor it (preferably a few inches above the rim of the pool).

Uh, I doubt it. Not stable or big enough. If you want to fish, they have other inflatables for that.

This is Steve at Aqua Products. It may work, but at times the floating cable performance will be impaired so no we do not recommend it.

I guess you could but, with kids using the pool, I would not. The floating dispenser is you best bet for safety caution. I hope this helps. :)

Ive swan with this in my pool and it didnt work that well......i wouldnt try this. Plus when you put the float attachment it ends up being too big. you'll have to add more attachments to swing it away from your head.

It doesn't make sense to float unless your trying to use it on a large area. I use it in a bird bath and use a rock to weigh it down. Works fine for me.

I went down and measured the best I could with the pump assembly underwater and a little hard to access. I would say you need a diameter of at least 12 inches to accommodate the side that has the float attached. That should allow it to freely move up and down.

No it is too big. It needs about 30" width for the float to work. You need a tape type gauge.

Yes you can use it as a float. My wife, kids and grand kids all have with great success. . You can use it under your arms or straight out in front of you, or what ever position is good for you . Enjoy they are fun to have.

I don't think so. I think it says not to use the product as a flotation device on the box. :)

The actual float does not slide much up and down the stainless shaft. The float has limited movement due to two snap rings spaced about 1.5" apart. The float measures 1.1" so tripping occurs within 0.4" of its pictured location. In reality, tripping probably occurs within a 0.25" to 0.375" of the end stop ring. One thing not clearly understood from the description is that the device uses a very high reliability reed switch contained within the stainless shaft. Reed switches are activated by an external magnet that, in this case, is contained within the float. My long term concern for this part is the "E" clips seem to be made from plated steel and may rust over time. The rest of the device probably will have extremely long life provided the reed switch contact ratings are not taxed. However, if the liquid being sensed has a lot of contaminates, then a possible buildup of contaminates might occur between the shaft and the float's hollow opening. Some periodic cleaning maintenance might be needed based on the application. The jury is still out on my usage but the device is working very well.

I would say yes because it has a float and probably requires very little pressure to fill the float bowl.

As I bought this for a friend's daughter, I don't have a lot of first hand experience. That being said, no, it will not even float. The device sinks. However, it does mount well to the lower part of the tub - even the curved sections. It has great "suction" power and should be fine at lower levels of tile too, according to my friend and his wife.

not really. padding is for comfort, which will come in handy with weight of equipment. the thin and lite weight padding will not float once it absorbs water though. definitely an equipment/utility belt not a floatation device.

I'd guess no. It's heavy and curved in a way that isn't for laying on the long way. I haven't checked to see if it would float.
