Air Pressure

A crucial part of every inflatable is the air pressure, there is a lot more to it than just blowing it up, this article will explain what bouncy castle air pressure is and how you can measure it.

When hiring out your bouncy castles, they are only permitted to be hired with a pressure reading of 4″ water gauge or 1kpa, this must be recorded when delivered to the venue. This applies to both domestic garden hires and commercial events. In addition, the same rule applies when using your bouncy castles to ensure health and safety of users.

It is important to make sure your fans are blowing the inflatable up correctly and you can use a manometer to measure the pressure. However when hiring your inflatables out it is compulsory to have a manometer in order to comply with regulations. You can measure this in three easy steps:

1. Insert the clear plastic tube of the manometer into the blower tube and seal the blower strap
2. Set up your inflatable as normal
3. When the inflatable is up and ready you can record the manometer’s readings

After following these steps check:

• If the Manometer reading is over 4″ water gauge (1kpa) then the inflatable can be used as it complies to regulations.

• If the Manometer reading is below 4″ water gauge (1kpa), change the blower for another and measure again.

• If it is still below 4″ water gauge (1kpa), this means the inflatable isn’t fit for use and must be brought in to check/repair.

It is important to note that after we manufacture our inflatables, we ensure all of them are pressure checked before they leave us.
