Is this product dense/heavy enough to not float in water? Or would it float if submerged in water?

I use mine all of the time for many things, but I live in the AZ desert, and don't have a pool, or other water large enough to try and float it. But it is outstanding for other uses.

It weighs about 4 - 4.5 lbs. It is dense enough for a man to stand on it. I have never tried floating it, however.

No it does not float. The biggest down side to it is that it soaks up TOO much water. This makes if comfy and secure for the child but it is very heavy and hard to wring out.

It comes with foam inside the shaft and a foam ring on the outside. It floats pretty well by itself. It will still float without the outer foam ring, just less so. I lost one in a river, but I can't say for sure that more flotation would have made a difference. On flat water it will be fine.

I think it would float if you sealed it up good, but it is top heavy so it will probably tip over and not stay upright.

I've never dropped it in the water, but I'm pretty sure it would sink. It doesn't have any buoyancy qualities that I can see.

Well, it does not sink, but barely.It stays upright with the handle just under water.That´s on salt water. I have only tested it on the sea, so keep it in mind that the flotation will be different on lakes.

It will retain the air in a pool. Curious -- how would you use it in a pool? I would think you would float off it. Maybe use it with weights in a pool to hold you down?

I think the foam is fairly dense. I don't sink in too far; it does not become hammock like. Nor is it so firm that it is like sleeping on a board. We use it on a futon (extra bed) with a metal frame, and you cannot feel the metal bar of the frame when lying down. We use it to lie on, not sit, and for that purpose it is great.

Not sure, but depends on what you have at either end. I ran rigid down the back wall to get to the bottom, then a 2" flex piece to make the bend to run another rigid piece across the bottom to an air stone. Between the weight of the stone (buried) and the force from the section coming down the wall, the horizontal run would not float, but I try to keep it buried anyway. Good product. Be prepared for the box it comes in. Huge in relation to the piece of plastic loose in the box. I got three sections and they each came in a separate (big) box...

It seems pretty lightweight to me, almost more like a pool toy. It probably wouldn't sink but might get you wet.

Not sure my dogs already chewed it up pretty good.. So I cannot test it. I also do not think it would float anyway.

I've never tried using it in a pool, but I think it's made out of hollow molded plastic, so I think it would float and not sink.

I bought this for my 10 yr. old granddaughter and she tells me it will sink. I guess it says right on the box not to put it in water. She has not done so because she doesn't want to take the chance of ruining it.

I have not tested the metrics of how much weight the float will hold up, however depending on the density of your PVC pole it may float itself. I'd test it in a controlled environment before trusting any water rig, but you could cap the ends of the pole trapping air in the pole causing it to be more buoyant.

It should float, but that will depend on how much air you squeezed out when closing it.

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 have never had a situation where it was completely submerged. I would suggest you contact irobot the manufacturer.
