Inflation / Deflation

How can I inflate my Poles?
Because of the small amount of pressure required, many air sources can be used to inflate the supports. Some examples are described below.

AIR-EXCHANGER - It takes about 12 lbs of air-pressure to inflate our 4-person tent. If your spare has 40 PSI, it will be at 28 PSI after you have used some air to inflate your tent. You simply attach the air-exchanger to your tent valve and then to your spare. Wait 10 seconds and presto! You can always carry an old spare if you have space in your car boot.

AIR-COMPRESSOR - These come in all sizes and shapes. Whatever inflates your car tires inflates your tent. Some compressors have to be plugged into your cigarette lighter. The advantage of a rechargeable compressor is that you can carry it to your campsite, even if it is 500 yards away.

BICYCLE PUMP - This is the only method that requires work. Tent set-up is just as easy however because you have no poles to fool around with. But, it still requires a bit of energy. With any good-sized standard bicycle pump, it takes about one minute to inflate your tent. We do not recommend this option with our CONDOR, our largest tent, unless you are prepared to pump for about 5 minutes. The recommended option for the CONDOR is a 10 gallon air-tank or an air-compressor.

DIVING TANKS - This is for divers who already have all the air they will ever need, to fill our tents. With just a small amount of air from one of the tanks, you are ready to enjoy the beach in 10 seconds. With our modified air-exchanger, you will never have to set-up a tent, or break cumbersome poles.

ON-BOARD AIR - Many motorcycles and ATVs come equipped with a ready-made, on-board air-compressor. If you have one of these, why not carry a ready-made pneumatic AirZone tent to complement your on-board air? Oh yes, and you won't have to mess with rigid poles that will scratch your paint and that are a real pain to accommodate on small motorized vehicles.

Inflation Methods

Can I over inflate my AirZone Recreation poles?
No, every tent is equipped with a Pressure Safety Valve. These valves prevent the Inflatable Poles from being inflated past 22 PSI (pounds per square inch) the tents optimum operating pressure.

How do you take the tent Down?
Just turn the input valve counter clockwise and the air pressure will be released from the Poles. Roll up your tent and put it in your AirZone bag. That's it.
