No, although hollow plastic products usually have a hole through which air is injected to form the product, GermBLOCK™️’ unique blow molding process does not require a hole to create positive internal pressure.

GermBLOCK™️ Antimicrobial Ball Pit Balls are molded of nontoxic materials and come flash free with smooth parting lines and no sharp edges to scratch or cut tender skin.  The plastic is polyethylene – the same plastic that most milk bottles are made of.  Our COLOR PIGMENTS are LEAD-FREE and FDA-approved. Independent laboratory tests certify GermBLOCK™️ Antimicrobial Balls far exceed the requirements of the CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY IMPROVEMENT ACT of 2008, and ASTM F963-7 regarding hazardous metals.

Generally no, but after years of exposure minor fading may be observed.  GermBLOCK™️ Antimicrobial Balls are made with colors that containUV and antioxidant additives to protect against fading and cracking.  Thus, they are designed for indoor and outdoor use.

This is easy and hassle-free with a quality ball washing machine, such as the HyGenie™️, manufactured by 21st Century Products, Inc. 

Each case of 500 balls is 7 cubic feet.  So first, determine how many cubic feet you want to fill with balls by measuring the inside length and width of your ball pool to determine the square feet then multiply by depth to determine cubic feet. 

The formula is Length (L) x Width (W) x Depth (D) = Cubic volume, then divide by 7 to determine the number of 500 ball cases you need.

Example:  8’ (L) x 8’ (W) x 2’ (D) = 128 cubic feet of volume then divide by 7(cu. ft. of balls in a case of 500) the answer is 18.29.  Thus, you will need 18 or 19 cases to fill your ball pool 2 feet deep with balls. Contact us if you need assistance.
