Default Is there a good way to deflate large inflatable toys?

I bought a large inflatable water slide for use by the pool:

http://www.amazon.com/Intex-58851-Wa.../dp/B000NN9DUC

This is a pretty cool slide. It appears to be very well made. The
material (vinyl?) is very heavy.

But I was not prepared for the setup and, especially, the take-down
time. It took me well over half an hour to inflate the slide using a
small portable compressor.

I am now trying to deflate it and not having a lot of success. If
anyone has a better way, I'd love to hear about it.

The large chambers (there are 4) have what the manufacturer calls a
Boston Valve.

http://tinyurl.com/qwsott

This is a 2-part valve. The cap opens a one-way valve that lets air in
but not out. There is another "nut" that removes the valve entirely
leaving an unobstructed opening about 3/4" wide. I opened all 4 Boston
valves. The large chambers deflated about 90% in a few minutes. That
last 10% is not going well.

With an air mattress, I would just roll it up from one end and force
the air out. This thing is too complicated and too heavy for that.

The small chambers (also 4) have the standard plug valve with a flap
to keep most of the air from escaping. This is fine for inflating, but
difficult for deflating. I have to stick something into the valve to
hold the flap open.

I tried using the vacuum cleaner. It works reasonably well on the
large chambers with the Boston valves, but not so well with the
smaller valves. I don't have anything that I can use to prop the valve
flap open that won't either block the opening or get sucked up by the
vacuum cleaner.

I see that Amazon has a bunch of "inflator/deflator" gizmos. Most of
them have no reviews. Doesd anyone know if any of these are any good?
That is, better than the vacuum cleaner?

Here are a few:



Rave Sports Hi-Speed Inflator. Reviewers say it is fast and powerful,
but runs hot and may not be able to inflate more than one large item.

http://tinyurl.com/qqut6j



Sevylor 110 Volt Mini Inflator/Deflator. $18. I can't tell if it comes
with a hose.

http://tinyurl.com/pm4ok9



Metro Vacuum 110-IDAR 110-Volt Magc Air Inflator/Deflator. $50. This
looks like the right tool if it works.

http://tinyurl.com/q4jtvr




Marine inflater/deflator. $73. This is 12V only, so not convenient for
backyard use.

http://tinyurl.com/o7jcy9




Black & Decker makes an inflater, which I thought about buying, but I
don't think it can deflate.

I use my shop vac to inflate and deflate these things. Make a
fitting from a series of smaller hoses and some duct tape.

Leave the Boston valves in place- but make the last fitting just small
enough to go inside the valve and open the flapper.

The nozzles are the best part of that toy. I'd wager that the worst
shop vac will move 10 times as much air.

I love that they call it a "high volume air pump" but don't say what
that "high volume" is.

Not until you suggested it. The shop vac is the right tool for the
job.

Before I saw your message, I used a compressor. It works, of course,
but I only have a small 2 gallon tank so it ran continuously. This is
not good for the compressor and several neighbors are probably still
mad. But the worst part was the deflating. I ended up using the house
vacuum cleaner, but the nozzle was the wrong size.

I picked up a $30 shop vac from the Borg with a set of nozzles. It was
just as fast as the compressor for inflating and much less noisy. and
deflating was much easier.

Thanks. Have a virtual beer on me. ;-)

I have a couple of small shop vac's. One of them
is a one gallon Shop-Vac brand. I use it when
servicing refrigeration, HVAC equipment and
computers. A lot of folks are surprised that I
will use the vacuum to clear condensate drain
lines instead of blowing them out like most techs.
The shop vac is less messy in that regard, I don't
have dirty liquid splattered everywhere.

Sorry to be so cynical and mean spirited but I really hope your not a "true"
professor.

This is just yet again another example of someone who has a real or supposed
need and goes about filling it withour really researching what they need and
need to do to satisfy their need(s) properrly. They then go to stangers
with their hands our saying "help me, please!"

And we are supposed to be enlightened??

Give him a break.

8 years ago, when Doug authored the post that you responded to, he was going
through a hard time. The kids were on drugs, the wife was a cheating bitch and
the gerbils were suing him for neglect.

He's better now. He moved away, leaving the kids to hang out in the dark alleys
of skid row and letting the wife ride off on the back of some biker's hog.
They crashed just a few miles from the bar they had just left, leaving her
crippled and disfigured. The biker walked away from the accident (and her)
unhurt.

As for the gerbils, they lost the suit, had to pay Doug's attorney fees and
ended up destitute and living in the NYC sewers as sex slaves to the rats.

I speak from experience. The subset of attorneys that represent gerbils consists
of the lowest of the low in the legal system. At family of gerbils attempted to sue me
for breach of contract when I refused to repair their cage after the cat knocked it
off the table. Their attorneys called my home, my work and even tracked me down
at the Home For Recovering Pastry Chefs where I volunteer. Once a chef starts
snorting the baking powder, their bottom is not far off.

The attorneys stopped bothering me when I told the gerbils about the skeletons in the
attorney's closet. Literally, skeletons...of other gerbils. It was gross.

Gerbils can't tell that attorneys are snakes so they get sucked in. It was
good for you to inform the gerbils about the skeletons. The attorneys have a
lot of closets & skeletons ( they call them files-which they bill on ).

Doug sounds like a miserable person!

Give him a break.

8 years ago, when Doug authored the post that you responded to, he was going
through a hard time. The kids were on drugs, the wife was a cheating bitch and
the gerbils were suing him for neglect.

He's better now. He moved away, leaving the kids to hang out in the dark alleys
of skid row and letting the wife ride off on the back of some biker's hog.
They crashed just a few miles from the bar they had just left, leaving her
crippled and disfigured. The biker walked away from the accident (and her)
unhurt.

As for the gerbils, they lost the suit, had to pay Doug's attorney fees and
ended up destitute and living in the NYC sewers as sex slaves to the rats.

This is a tragic story! I think you should forward this to Salon magazine
and they could report it on TV.

I speak from experience. The subset of attorneys that represent gerbils consists
of the lowest of the low in the legal system. At family of gerbils attempted to sue me
for breach of contract when I refused to repair their cage after the cat knocked it
off the table. Their attorneys called my home, my work and even tracked me down
at the Home For Recovering Pastry Chefs where I volunteer. Once a chef starts
snorting the baking powder, their bottom is not far off.

The attorneys stopped bothering me when I told the gerbils about the skeletons in the
attorney's closet. Literally, skeletons...of other gerbils. It was gross.


Gerbils can't tell that attorneys are snakes so they get sucked in. It was
good for you to inform the gerbils about the skeletons. The attorneys have a
lot of closets & skeletons ( they call them files-which they bill on ).
