Bouncy Castle Power Requirements
A: Our bouncy castle rental rates are valid for a 6-hour rental period. Unfortunately it will be the same price if you need it for 2/3 hours as we cannot book it again. We can deliver units overnight or on weekends, subject to availability. We require a refundable deposit of £100 for each unit rented overnight or on weekends. The deposit will be refunded upon our collection of the unit in a clean and undamaged condition. Please contact us for more details. Yes and no. Bouncy castles in the UK are operated with a continuous airflow system. The air escapes from the seams of the bouncy castle and when the children jump on the inflatable boat.
The fan is more than powerful enough to replace the air between each jump. I have successfully operated rebound house blower motors with a 2 kW generator, a 2.5 kW generator, a 3 kW generator and two bounce house motors simultaneously with a 5 kW generator. We use a standard 1.5 hp fan that we use with all our bouncy castles. This has an energy consumption of 1.68 kilowatt hours. Alternatively, it can be powered by a generator. A generator should be fenced with a fire extinguisher nearby. Do not leave cans of alternative fuel near the generator outside. A: We start our deliveries every day at 7am and we always strive to finish all deliveries before 12pm whenever possible Our pickups start at 6pm and we follow the same route as for delivery, so units delivered first are picked up first.
This ensures that all bouncy castles and other parameters are of similar duration. If you need delivery or pickup at any given time, we will always do our best to do so, but we may have to charge an extra £10 for this service, especially at peak times of the year. Each inflatable boat has different requirements. Be sure to use enough herring or sandbags to secure the inflatable boat. The exact requirements can be found in the manual of individual bouncy castles. Is it possible to use a single generator to power multiple bounce houses? I thought I`d take a quick moment to share the amount of energy used by an inflatable house, the size of the generator needed to power it, and some important information about extension cords to keep you from burning your blower motors. Sealed air inflatable boats are usually inflatable boats that are not intended to bounce. These include Nerf War walls, inflatable environments on trampolines, and paintball barriers. The easiest way to explain sealed air units is to think about your air bed/lilo.
You inflate it, either with a pump or manually, and then push a plug to keep the air in the bouncy castle. It`s a great way to inflate something, but it doesn`t work for a bouncy castle. Think about it if you inflated your bed with high-pressure air, clogged the valve and jumped on it, what would happen? Yes, that`s right. it would probably explode. For this reason, the sealed air system is not used to jump from inflatable boats. You may have heard of the “exploding bouncy castle” accident a few years ago. This was, in fact, a total mistake on the part of the press. It was actually a trampoline with a dense air border.
The sealed air unit had lost pressure, so the operator had connected the pump for reinflation, but was later deflected. Eventually, the pressure in the sealed air system became so high that the inflatable environment exploded like our example of an inflatable mattress. This is a VERY common question. If you`ve read our explanation above about the different types of inflatable boats, you`ve probably found the answer. Very often, customers see their lock inflate and then say, “Perfect, can we turn it off now?” Of course, you can turn off the fan at any time, but due to the air escaping through the seams, it is emptied very quickly! Don`t let children climb the castle walls or do a somersault. Unless otherwise stated, shoes should be removed to prevent people from being accidentally hit by others. Glasses may need to be removed and pockets may need to be emptied. There will rarely be a point of sale if you want to set up your inflatable home outdoors in a common area such as a park or lawn field. You will need to bring your own generator to power the inflatable device in this scenario. Since generators can be expensive, it may be more cost-effective to rent or borrow one if it`s your only need and you don`t plan to bring it to the park frequently. For less than $20 a day, you can rent a generator from most party rental services. Just picking it up on party day can save you a lot of time and money.
When you rent a generator, you specify what you are going to use it for so that you can get the right one. The lock should also be fenced on the back and sides (maybe even on the front) so that children can`t touch or stumble over things like metal anchor posts or the inflator and power outlets. The locks come with a driven inflator (or blower). The most common type of “fan” is electrically operated (240 volts). To do this, you will need to connect it to a power supply with an extension line, so think about how far it needs to go and how much tripping risks are possible. You may also need to consider an online RCD (trigger switch). Don`t assume that a household outlet is suitable for this, you may need to get electrical advice. It is best to ask the inflatable tenant to provide all the electrical wiring they need, as normal household types may not be suitable for outdoor use and weather resistance.
When the inflatable boat is installed, visually check the cables to make sure they are not defective (electrical tape, wires, broken plugs). Think about the possible tripping risks due to the use of cables. It is important to completely inflate bouncy castles before use, as partially inflated products can pose a health and safety risk. Bouncy castles and bouncy castles are inflated with fans and blowers that are usually electric or gasoline. Since the fan is constantly on, small holes and leaks don`t necessarily cause major problems. The power supply is much more reliable, cheaper and much safer. The only downside compared to generators is that you have to be with 50 meters of mains power, which could of course prove difficult if you are in the middle of a field surrounded by nothing! Areas with potholes and stones, etc. should be avoided. Safety mats (or collision mats) must be attached to the entry and exit points. If the lock is used on concrete (or similar) or indoors, additional security mats may be required. If you plan to use your bounce house in a public park or any other place where there is no exit, there are a few things you need to know about generators and which ones are best for bounce houses. If you have food or games at your party, you can empty the bouncy castle to draw the children`s attention to the food.
A: We can operate units from a generator or gasoline fan, but this MUST BE PROVIDED BY THE CUSTOMER. We recommend using at least one 3 kva generator for a single normal device. Moonwalks (dome-style units) require 2 fans, and so we recommend at least a 5 kva generator for such units. WE RECOMMEND USING DIESEL GENERATORS AS THEY ARE MUCH LESS DANGEROUS THAN GASOLINE GENERATORS. PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT MOST LOCAL AUTHORITIES DO NOT ALLOW THE USE OF GAS GENERATORS ON YOUR PROPERTY. N.B: kva refers to the output power of a generator. The size of the motor driving the generator does not affect the output power. To do this, you need to use two adults. First, warn the children that you will ask them to come from the castle. Then ask the children to come from the castle. So ask them again! Then gather the stubborn. Keep an adult in front of him to prevent children from entering the bouncy castle.
And then let the second adult walk around the back of the bouncy castle to turn off the plug button. Here`s the math: if you run a bouncy castle on electricity for 8 hours, you`ll get around £1.68. A single bouncy castle in a village house for 2 hours would only cost 42p. If you have 5 bouncy castles for 5 hours in your school, our electricity costs are only £5.25. A bouncy castle is made by sewing panels together from vinyl-coated materials. For this reason, it must have a “continuous flow” inflator that is constantly working and continuously pumping air as air naturally escapes through the seams. If it suffers from a crack, crack or seam failure, it will quickly collapse because the air has found another way to escape. This type of inflatable boat is more likely to collapse than to explode. Keep in mind that every inflatable blower motor is different and some are more energy efficient than others. Some have windings inside that are in better condition than others.
Some have been damaged by incorrect voltage and consume more power. Each bouncy castle must have at least six anchor points. ALL anchor points set by the lock manufacturer must be used, even those that are not at ground level (the highest ones help to keep the shape of a castle intact and avoid additional stresses at ground level). It depends on the type of generator you buy and how much electricity is needed to keep your rebound home swollen. The type mentioned above inflates a typical inflatable house for four hours before it needs to be refueled.
