Tips & Warnings
You can remedy a slight loss in net tension by simply moving the water-filled bases outward. If the bases are too heavy to move easily, you can "walk" the bases outward in small increments.
Make sure that the net is not tightened to the point that the edges of the water-filled bases lift off the ground. The stability of the water volleyball apparatus may be compromised if the bases do not remain flat.
