In Iowa, inflatable personal flotation devices (PFDs) can be legally used for boating activities, but they must be worn at all times by individuals in certain situations. Specifically, inflatable PFDs are permitted for use by adults in boats over 16 feet in length, as long as they are approved by the U.S. Coast Guard. However, children under 13 years old must wear a traditional, non-inflatable PFD. It's essential to ensure that the inflatable PFD is properly maintained and has been fully inflated before use.

When to replace the c02 cylinder on inflatable pfd?

You should replace the CO2 cylinder on your inflatable PFD (personal flotation device) after each use, especially if it has been activated. Additionally, regularly inspect the cylinder for signs of corrosion, damage, or a low pressure indicator, and replace it if any issues are found. It's also advisable to replace the cylinder according to the manufacturer’s guidelines, typically every 2-3 years, even if it hasn't been used. Always ensure you have a fully charged and functional CO2 cylinder before using the PFD.
