How to Choose the Right Blower for Your Rentals

Choosing the right blower for your inflatable rentals can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. Whether you’re powering a bounce house, water slide, obstacle course, or combo bouncer, the key is matching the blower’s horsepower and airflow to your inflatable’s size and type. Here’s a simple guide to help you pick the perfect blower for your rental business—delivered anywhere in the U.S.

Step 1: Know Your Inflatable’s Size
Smaller units like standard bounce houses (up to 15×15 feet) typically need a 1.0 horsepower blower for steady inflation. Larger setups, like 20-foot water slides or combo bouncers, require at least 1.5 HP to maintain pressure. Massive obstacle courses or multi-unit rentals demand a 2.0 HP blower to keep everything running smoothly.

Step 2: Match the Purpose
Consider how your inflatable is used. Bounce houses need consistent airflow for jumping, so a reliable, lightweight blower like our Apollo 1.0 HP is ideal. Water slides, with their taller structures, benefit from the stronger Atlas 1.5 HP to combat wind and weight. For obstacle courses with long tunnels or heavy-duty use, the Hercules 2.0 HP provides the muscle to handle it all.

Step 3: Prioritize Durability
Rental businesses need blowers that last. Look for sturdy construction and energy efficiency to cut costs over time. Our new lineup—Apollo, Atlas, and Hercules—is built tough for the inflatable industry, with nationwide shipping to get them to you fast.

Step 4: Check Compatibility
Always confirm your inflatable’s manufacturer specs for airflow (measured in CFM—cubic feet per minute). Undersized blowers lead to sagging, while oversized ones waste energy. Our team can help match your needs to the right model.

With the right blower, you’ll set up faster, impress customers, and avoid mid-event breakdowns. Browse our Apollo 1.0 for smaller rentals, Atlas 1.5 for mid-range power, or Hercules 2.0 for the big jobs. Not sure where to start?
