Don’t Waste Precious Party Time: Get A Balloon Inflator
When you've been planning a party for weeks, or even just days, the last thing you want to be doing on the day of the event is wasting your breath on blowing up balloons for hours on end. It doesn't matter if you have 10 balloons or 500 balloons. Rather than allowing yourself to get out of breath and out of time, why not instead purchase a quality balloon inflator like those available on eBay.
Types of balloon inflators
Aside from using your trusty old mouth, there are three other ways to inflate balloons.
- Manual Pump: simply attach the balloon's opening to the nozzle of the pump and begin pumping air into the balloon before tying the end of the balloon closed. If you have a balloon hand pump, you can inflate it by pulling out the hand lever and then pushing it back in. For a foot pump, step on the pedal and then release it to inflate your balloon. You probably wouldn't want to use this for more than 50 balloons.
- Electric Inflator: If you have a larger number of balloons, using an electric balloon inflator is a convenient and quick way to inflate them. simply attach the neck of the balloon to the inflating nozzle, turn on the pump and watch as it inflates the balloon. With some models you can choose the inflatable volume, and the machine will shut down when the balloon reaches that. Others, however, we'll need you to keep an eye on them to ensure you don't pop them. This is a great option for inflating large amounts of balloons fast.
- Helium Tank: A manual pump or electric inflator will not have your balloons floating up to the roof or the sky. If you want this to happen you need a helium tank. To use the tank, simply attach the neck of the balloon to the nozzle and switch the gas bottle on until the balloon is fully inflated. Keep in mind that to use a helium tank you also need balloons that is specifically designed to suit helium. When using a helium tank, make sure you read the instructions carefully and take any safety precautions necessary. Also remember to turn the tank off completely once you're done.
