NeverSoft™ automatic pressure regulator for Zodiac inflatable boats and RIB’s
Keeping the air pressure of a Zodiac inflatable boat or RIB properly maintained is more important than many boat owners realise. The tubes and buoyancy chambers not only determine comfort on board, but also affect the stability, performance, and service life of the boat. Yet the pressure in the air chambers constantly changes due to sunlight, temperature differences, cooling, and changing weather conditions.
With the NeverSoft™ automatic pressure regulator for Zodiac inflatable boats and RIB’s, checking and topping up the tubes becomes much easier. This smart valve cap replaces the existing valve cap and automatically helps keep the air pressure in the tubes better maintained.
For anyone looking for a solution for a Zodiac that is losing air, soft tubes, pressure loss due to temperature, or automatic top-up inflation of an inflatable boat, the NeverSoft™ cap is a smart and practical upgrade.
Why is the correct air pressure important for your Zodiac?
A Zodiac inflatable boat or RIB performs best when the tubes are at the correct pressure. Tubes that are too soft can make the boat feel less stable, run less taut, and deform more quickly during use. Pressure that is too low or fluctuates heavily can also place extra load on seams, buoyancy tubes, and attachment points.
Especially for boats kept outdoors, left in the marina, or stored under a boat cover, air pressure can change significantly. During the day, the air in the tubes warms up in the sun, while in the evening or at night the pressure can drop again as it cools. As a result, a boat that seems properly inflated in the morning may feel softer later in the day or after a cold night.
The NeverSoft™ pressure regulator helps monitor this process automatically and correct it where necessary.
Is your Zodiac losing air or feeling soft?
Many owners notice that their Zodiac inflatable boat or RIB feels softer after a cold night, a warm day, or a longer period under a cover. This does not always mean the boat is leaking. In many cases, pressure loss is caused by temperature differences, cooling, or changing weather conditions.
When the temperature drops, the pressure in the tubes also decreases. As a result, an inflatable boat can feel softer, even though technically there doesn’t have to be a leak. Conversely, the pressure can increase when the boat is left in full sun.
The NeverSoft™ automatic pressure regulator helps to automatically correct these kinds of pressure differences. The cap measures the pressure in the air chamber and can automatically top up air when needed. This keeps the tubes at pressure better and reduces how often you need to check or top up manually.
What is the NeverSoft™ automatic pressure regulator?
The NeverSoft™ automatic pressure regulator is a smart valve cap for Zodiac inflatable boats and RIBs. The cap is fitted onto the existing valve and automatically monitors the pressure in the air chamber. When the pressure becomes too low, the cap can automatically top up air.
This means you’ll need to use a foot pump or electric pump less often yourself. Your Zodiac stays at pressure better and is ready to use sooner when you want to get on the water.
The NeverSoft™ cap works fully automatically. As soon as the cap detects pressure, the system switches on. When no pressure is measured, the cap switches off automatically. So you don’t need to turn the cap on or off manually.
Automatic air top-up when pressure drops
One of the key advantages of the NeverSoft™ valve cap is that it can automatically add air when needed. The cap measures the pressure in the air chamber and detects pressure differences caused by temperature, sunlight, cooling, or storage under a cover.
Especially with Zodiac inflatable boats and RIBs that are left outdoors for extended periods, this is a major advantage. You need to check the tubes manually less often, and the boat stays better prepared for use.
This makes the NeverSoft™ automatic pressure regulator ideal for owners who leave their boat in the marina, store it outside on a trailer, or use it regularly during the boating season.
Suitable for current Zodiac semi-recessed valves
This version of the NeverSoft™ pressure regulator is suitable for current Zodiac semi-recessed valves. The cap replaces the existing valve cap and is available in light grey and black, so you can choose the colour that best matches your Zodiac.
Note: always check in advance which valve type your boat has. Not every Zodiac valve is the same. Not sure whether the NeverSoft™ cap is suitable for your Zodiac inflatable boat or RIB? Then send us a photo of the valve or of the boat’s builder’s plate. We will be happy to check which type of valve your boat has.
Adjustable pressure settings up to 3.5 PSI
The NeverSoft™ caps are programmed as standard for a maximum pressure of 2.0 PSI. In addition, the caps can be set to 2.5 PSI, 3.0 PSI or 3.5 PSI. This makes the automatic valve cap suitable for various Zodiac inflatable boats and RIB’s.
For the best results, we recommend bringing the boat’s air chambers close to the specified maximum pressure before installation. The NeverSoft™ cap can then measure the pressure, learn, and automatically regulate it.
Self-learning system for changing conditions
The NeverSoft™ automatic pressure regulator is designed to adapt to the conditions in which the boat is used or stored. After installation, the cap starts measuring air pressure and recognising the boat’s normal pressure pattern.
During the first few days, the system learns how tube pressure changes due to sun, temperature, cooling and storage. Afterwards, the cap can keep the air chamber pressure more consistent and automatically add air when needed.
This self-learning system makes the NeverSoft™ cap particularly practical for boats kept outside, regularly stored outdoors, or placed under a boat cover.
Built-in solar panel and internal battery
The NeverSoft™ pressure regulator is equipped with an integrated solar panel. This solar panel charges the internal battery via sunlight, so the cap is designed for autonomous use without an external power supply.
For the initial installation, we recommend placing the caps in direct sunlight for at least one day. If the boat is outside in the sun, the caps can also be fitted to the boat straight away.
Thanks to the solar panel, the NeverSoft™ valve cap is highly suitable for use during the boating season, when the boat is often kept outside and receives sufficient sunlight.
Extra security thanks to built-in overpressure protection
In addition to automatically topping up, the NeverSoft™ air pressure regulator features integrated 4 PSI / 280 mbar overpressure protection. This helps prevent overpressure in the air chamber and provides extra assurance during use.
That’s important, because too high a pressure in the tubes can also be undesirable. Pressure in an air chamber can increase due to rising temperatures and direct sunlight. The built-in overpressure protection contributes to safe and reliable use.
Benefits of the NeverSoft™ air pressure regulator for Zodiac
The NeverSoft™ automatic valve cap offers several advantages for Zodiac owners. The cap helps keep the air pressure in the tubes at the correct level automatically, so you need to check and top up manually less often.
In addition, a properly inflated tube contributes to better performance, more stability and tighter handling. A more consistent air pressure can also help reduce unnecessary wear on tubes and floats.

Which Zodiac boats is the NeverSoft™ cap suitable for?
The NeverSoft™ air pressure regulator is suitable for Zodiac inflatable boats and RIB’s with the current Zodiac semi-recessed valves. This includes modern Zodiac models where the valve cap matches this type of valve.
Because Zodiac has used different valve types over the years, it’s important to check in advance that the cap fits. If you’re unsure, you can always contact Zodiac Online Shop. Send a clear photo of the valve or of your boat’s builder’s plate, and we’ll be happy to check with you.
Installation advice for the NeverSoft™ valve cap
For proper operation, we recommend placing the NeverSoft™ caps in direct sunlight for at least one day before installation. This allows the internal battery to charge properly.
Then inflate the air chambers of your Zodiac, preferably close to the specified maximum pressure. Next, fit the NeverSoft™ caps onto the valves. After installation, the system starts measuring and regulating.
Please note that the cap may need a few days to properly learn the conditions of your boat and environment. After that, the system can monitor the air pressure more accurately and top up automatically when needed.
