Is my REEF Mat valve leaking?Updated 7 days ago

A leaking valve is one of the most common causes of a slow leak, and it's an easy fix you can handle yourself.

First, check if the valve is open. Here's what to look for:

• Air rushes out immediately after you remove the inflation hose, or

• Your mat slowly loses pressure down to around 1 PSI

Next, take a look at the white stem in the center of the valve:

• Valve open (leaking): The white stem is raised higher than the grey housing and the spring has no tension.
• Valve closed (sealed): The white stem is flush with the grey housing and the spring feels tight with tension.

The fix is simple. Press down on the white stem until you hear a click. Each click alternates between open and closed. That's all it takes!

This fix works across all MISSION inflatables, so keep it in your back pocket for any mat or ISUP.
