Air pump

[Compo1804]

HI,
been lookng at the Bravo BT12 air pump. seems there are 2 types if I'm not mistaken.
1 is single and the other is dual, and a bit of a difference in price too. What are you guys using, I've a Honwave T38IE to blow up
thanks

Hi Mal,
For the Honwave airfloor you need a pump capable of hitting .8 bar.
The BTP12 will do a low pressure high flow inflate initially then swap to the 2nd stage of low flow but high pressure.
The btp12 is the one in my opinion. However there is a similar version of two stage pump with a built in battery if that’s your thing. You could of course buy the BTP 12 and add a house alarm battery to the bag, they fit just great.
Have a look on screwfix or such for a 12v lead acid 7ah battery. That’s the one most of us use.

That's exactly what I use as Martin has suggested above. Works a treat. I use another 12v 7ah battery under my seat to run fishfinder, tablet, phone etc. I use the digital BTP 12.
Happy hunting

The BP12 (single pump) goes up to the same pressure. It just takes slightly longer to do it as it only has a low volume high pressure pump, where the BTP12 starts off high volume low pressure and then switches over to low volume high pressure.

To give you some comparison.(real time)
Whilst watching a guy inflate his Frib 360 with the BP12, I inflated my complete boat with the BTP12 in the time it took him to blow up the port side tube.

Thanks guys. Exactly what I wanted to know. The initial blow up will be done in my garage then all I need is to keep it topped up if it needs it.
Cheers

Like wise I use a Bravo btp12, best pump imo for the T38

Had the chance to compare my decathlon high pressure pump at£40 against mates bravo.. at alot more££££. While the decathlon pump was 3 mins slower I was happy with that given the cost saving.... and I ate a nice croissant while the sib blew up!

The 12v socket means no faffing under the bonnet angst I have a 9ah gel battery set up to pump the boat away from the car.

Do you use the Halkey valve adapter that comes with the Decatlon pump?

Thanks for all the info guys. Bit the bullet and expecting delivery of a BTP12 on Mon. Will then blow it up and check out the floor, and post some pics
