Default Dump the Pump

Manual Pumping sucks and when its cold or just don't want to waste your time giving your energy to the pump. DUMP IT.

Two reliable options that are great.

1. 5-10 gallon storage tank and a 12v compressor not a coleman blowup toy. I noticed in one of the kite mags something about a chevy 12v compressor that pulls nearly 50AMPS truly the power size you need to not burn up gas waiting for the smaller pumps to catch up.




2. Some have been burned in the past others may not know about these. First hand experience has been remarkably reliable. Batteries have been an issue in the past with this model it should easily do 4 pumpups with out assisted power from the car. I'd recommend a home charger for when not in use. Somehow the car just doesn't get the job done for cordless charging.
Note: The supplied hose sucks, and the power plug in needs some mods. pumps the kite rock hard and shutsdown automatically.
