Can you fill these with water (or sand)?

No, the hole is to let air out if pod is crushed & to let pad re-form to original shape.

They have a small opening on the underside for an air needle (like filling up an basketball or football). So, no.

No I don't think so - they have a small access hole in the bottom like you would use to "blow" them up with air such as with a bike pump but no other access to the inside.

The balance pods have a small hole for air like the hole on a basketball. Water and sand would not go into the pods without damage.

No I do not see how. It is an air hole where water would leak out and too small to get sand in.

Just 1. We live at the beach and live these. I fill them with sand and shells and the best plus is the wind cannot blow them out.

Yes. However, the question is really water vs sand, and water is significantly heavier than sand and way easier to put in. Between water and gel, the water leaks out easier. If the base gets moved often, cracks will develop, and in my experience cconcrete withe water added is the best option.

I *think* so but am not sure. The base is pretty thick sturdy plastic so it *should* hold water but I'm not sure if it's completely airtight. Sand is denser than water so it would be better to fill it with sand. After we filled ours with sand I don't recall seeing it leak. A bag of sand is pretty cheap from Lowe's.

No. This fills them with air. You'd need helium to make them float. We use this for centerpieces and filling up latex balloons that we put on a "stick".

I've never filled it with water, but its def made of swimming pool material....don't see why you couldn't....have fun!

Volume wise, they are quite large so it is doubtful if you would even come close to filling them. You just twist them shut and can then turn it inside out and dispose of it. No mess at all.

Yes. You can fill it by removing the reservoir or by pouring water into the reservoir with a pitcher.

Yes you can as long as you hang them high enough up. If its too low it will get you wet

These can be refilled with water. Distilled would be best. You can also use Xikar or Cigar Caddy use everytime solutions.

Yes, I like to clean them well first. Clean the outside of the bottom with a long soak in alcohol. Then fill them. You can only do this about 2 times and then get new ones.

I believe so. :)I put water in ours, and I think what ever you put in it will work. You will have to have it sitting at an angle to get it in though. Once we need to go to a higher settings, I plan on putting sand it in.

Maybe. They are very small and sand flows through them, but finger paint might be too thick and clog them. Sorry that I can't say for sure

Yes, Just make sure the water container is vented to allow air in when water comes out. They will hit it until they get their fill.

yes. in fact, i filled both of mine with a bag of rocks from home depot. sand would also work.

I don't believe so. I couldn't do it, and not just that but I wouldn't even waste your money or time on these. They eventually get water in them and you can't get the water out. The old water that gets stuck in there starts to make the inside rust. I threw mine out.

No. But as Joe has pointed out, there are pockets, you can fill with sand, or with bottled water (or bottled sand for ease of application).
