Are your fans suitable for rental businesses?
Yes. Our fans are built with steel construction and powder-coated for durability. They are designed for high performance and long-term use, making them ideal for rental applications and heavy usage.
What is the correct blower size for my inflatable?
In order to choose the right blower we need to focus on the volume of air and not the Kw of the motor.
Small Residential Inflatable (3m x4m): Volume: 864m3/hr – Standard Blower
Medium/Commercial inflatable (4.5x 4.5m): Volume 900m3/hr and above – High Pressure Blower
Large Combo/Slides Inflatable: Volume 900-1200 m3/hr- High Pressure Blower
What maintenance is required?
Our fans require minimal maintenance. Simply wipe the exterior clean when necessary. To maximise the lifespan of your unit, use a robust 2.5mm² extension cable and ensure extension reels are fully unwound to prevent voltage drop.
My blower is not working – what should I do?
Bring your unit to us for inspection and repair. If the issue is due to a manufacturing defect and the unit is under warranty, repair costs will be covered.
Where are your blowers manufactured?
All units are proudly manufactured in South Africa which means we will always have spare parts and can help with custom solutions.
What warranty do your units carry?
Our fans carry a one-year warranty from the date of purchase, covering manufacturing defects but in reality as long as you adhere to correct motor use the units last 10 years or longer.
