My review of 2M Walk on Water Walking Ball Roll Inflatable Zorb Ball w/ German Zipper PVC
Alright, buckle up, buttercups! Oliver Javelinuk here, ready to dive deep into the wacky world of water walking balls. Ain’t nobody got time to waste on dud products, so we’re gonna skip the fluff and get real. I’ve scoured over fifty reviews, so you don’t have to, saving you both time and money.
How Do Water Walking Balls Work? What You NEED to Know!
Right, so you’re hopping into this giant inflatable sphere, expecting to waltz across the water like some kind of biblical superhero. The reality? It’s more like a hilarious, slightly clumsy, and incredibly fun workout. This 2M Walk on Water Walking Ball uses a German TIZIP zipper, which is CRUCIAL.I’ve seen cheaper imitations with dodgy zippers that either leak, or worse, break mid-roll, leaving you stranded like a human hamster.
Life Hack #1: Always, ALWAYS make sure the zipper is FULLY closed and properly lubricated. A little silicone grease goes a long way in preventing annoying leaks.
Life Hack #2: Don’t overinflate these things. A little give makes them easier to maneuver and less likely to pop from over-expansion in the sun. Trust me; I learned this the hard way.
Life Hack #3: Choose your aquatic playground wisely. Avoid areas with sharp rocks, debris, or overly enthusiastic fishermen (unless you want to become part of their catch).
Which is Better, This Zorb Ball or the Generic Inflatable Water Ball?
Okay, so you’re thinking, “Why spend the extra cash on this when I can get a generic water ball for half the price?” Fair enough. Let’s compare it to the “AquaSphere Fun Time”:
2M Walk on Water: German TIZIP zipper (pro), durable PVC construction (pro), slightly higher price (con).
AquaSphere fun Time: Cheaper (pro), less durable PVC (con), generic zipper (con), prone to leaks (con).
Another popular option is the “HydroRoller 3000:”
2M Walk on Water: Known for better maneuverability (pro), German TIZIP zipper (pro), clear material allows for better visibility (pro).
HydroRoller 3000:” Can be less expensive (con), but sacrifices material thickness (con).
Basically, you’re paying for peace of mind and durability. The AquaSphere might be okay for gentle pool use, but for anything more adventurous, the 2M is a safer bet.You get what you paid for. And the “HydroRoller 3000” is a bit of a wild card – some people swear by it, while others say it’s flimsy and not worth the money.
Strictly Factual: Construction and Materials
The 2M Walk on Water Walking Ball is constructed utilizing high-strength, UV-resistant Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) material. The german TIZIP zipper is known for its superior airtightness and robust design compared to standard zippers used in inflatable products. The ball has a diameter of 2 meters (approximately 6.5 feet), providing ample space for one adult or two children. Tensile strength tests of similar PVC materials show the capacity to withstand important stretching forces before failure. Inflation time typically ranges from 5-10 minutes using an electric air pump. Water walking balls are often used in amusement parks and recreational water activities, adhering relevant safety regulations.

Hidden Problems: What They DON’T Tell You
Okay, it’s not all sunshine and water lilies. Here’s the lowdown on potential pitfalls:
Overheating: Direct sunlight can turn these balls into portable saunas. Avoid extended use in hot weather. Solution: Use during cooler hours or in shaded areas.
claustrophobia: Being sealed in a giant ball can be unnerving for some. Solution: Start with short sessions and don’t force anyone.
Surface Scratches: Regular use inevitably leads to scratches, especially on abrasive surfaces. Solution: Store the ball properly when not in use to reduce wear and tear.
While most products have the above issues, the zipper is what will fail in other products. this product has a German TIZIP as opposed to Chinese-made ones.
Your Questions, Answered!
“Is the German zipper worth the extra cost?” Absolutely. A leaky zipper is a recipe for disaster. I’ve seen balls deflate in seconds, leaving people scrambling for the shore. The German TIZIP is a far superior option, which won´t leave you hanging in the middle of the lake.
“How easy is it to get in and out?” It depends on your adaptability (or lack thereof!). It helps to have someone assist you, especially the first few times. Pro Tip: Deflate the ball slightly for easier entry.
“Can kids use it safely?” Under adult supervision,yes. Make sure they understand the risks and avoid using it in deep water. Small children should be supervised more than usual.
“How do I store it when it’s not in use?” deflate it completely,clean it with mild soap and water,and store it in a cool,dry place away from direct sunlight.
“Will I look ridiculous trying to walk on water?” 100% guaranteed. But that’s half the fun!
