How to select an Electric Air Pump?

Following are the factors that you should keep in your mind during the selection of an electric air pump.

1) Type of Location:

Firstly, you need to decide either you want to use an automatic driven or a manually driven pump. Manual-driven pumps have a low cost, but they need a person for operation. But automatic pumps have a high price, but they don’t require a person for their operation. The automatic pump can be operated for a long time without any manual work.

2) Power Requirements:

You need to consider the power requirements of your pump. If the pumps fix in one place, it means that they are electrically operated. The portable pump has a battery that has a rated voltage range of 12 volts or 24 volts. Battery-operated pumps must be properly powered to ensure long life and to finish the pumping operation.

3) Nozzle:

The pump comes with an interchangeable pipe that can replace with a nozzle according to our requirements. Some types of pumps may have fixed nozzles that can’t replace. It would be best if you chose the right pump nozzle that accessories to your requirements.

4) Flow Rate:

You need to choose a pump that will provide the flow rate according to your requirements. High flow rate pumps are required for applications such as blow-up parachute balloons, inflate tires, and perform other high-speed operations. The flow rates are determined in gallons/minute (GPM).

5) Power Cables:

You need to select the length and type of connection for the pump’s power cables. The length of the power cables also plays an important role in the selection of an electrical air pump. Some applications, like pumping up shallow water in a pool, require a long power cord to keep water away from the pump.
