Common Inflation Methods (And Why Some Take Too Long!)

There are several ways to inflate a pool float, but not all are efficient:

  • Manual Blowing: This method is time-consuming, tiring, and can leave you feeling lightheaded.

  • Hand and Foot Pumps: While better than blowing air manually, these pumps require a lot of effort and can take several minutes to fully inflate a float.

  • Electric Pumps (Best Option): Powered pumps provide quick and effortless inflation, making them the best choice for large pool floats and loungers.

Some people attempt to use a hairdryer to inflate pool floats, as it can push out a high volume of air. However, while this method may seem convenient, it comes with several drawbacks:

  • No Proper Airflow Control: Hairdryers are not designed for inflation, meaning the air pressure may not be sufficient or consistent.
  • Overheating Risk: Using a hairdryer for extended periods can cause overheating, potentially damaging both the float and the device itself.
  • Lack of a Secure Fit: Since hairdryers don’t have dedicated nozzle attachments, air can escape easily, making the process inefficient.
  • No Battery-Powered Option: Unlike the Woowind AP6, which is portable and rechargeable, hairdryers require a power outlet, limiting their usability outdoors.

For those who want speed, convenience, and efficiency, using a portable electric pump like the Woowind AP6 is the ideal solution. Learn more about our range of electric air pumps for quick and efficient inflation.
