The Owner's Insights on the High Pressure Electric Air Pump
Twelve volts off your car's cigarette socket, 20 PSI, and 350 litres a minute. That's the combination that inflates a SUP or a tender at the ramp instead of on your driveway the night before.
It's the high pressure that matters. Plenty of 12V pumps move plenty of air and then stall at 2 or 3 PSI, which is fine for a lilo and useless for a drop-stitch board that needs 15 or more.
Set your pressure on the LCD, plug it in and walk away. Auto shut-off stops it at the number you set, so nothing gets over-inflated while you're rigging the rest of your gear.
Why You'll Love the High Pressure Electric Air Pump
- Up to 20 PSI. Real drop-stitch pressure, not lilo pressure.
- 350 litres a minute. Volume first, then it builds pressure.
- Set it and walk away. Auto shut-off at your number.
- LCD pressure display. You know what you've actually got.
- 3m car plug lead. Reaches from the socket to the ramp.
- Six valve adapters. Fits most inflatables you'd own.
- 1.94kg, 25 x 17.5 x 15.5cm. Lives in the boot, not the shed.
- ABS and PA housing. It survives being knocked around.
Why You Should Consider a True Gear Inflatable Accessory
This is the pump we stock for inflatable boats, SUPs, kayaks and docks, chosen because it reaches the pressures drop-stitch gear actually needs. See the rest of the inflatable pontoon range.

Why 20 PSI is the number that matters
Most cheap 12V pumps are volume pumps. They shift plenty of air fast and then run out of puff somewhere around 2 or 3 PSI, which fills a lilo or a rubber duckie and does nothing for modern gear. A drop-stitch SUP wants 12 to 15 PSI to feel rigid underfoot, and an inflatable dock or a decent tender wants similar. Anything that stops short of that leaves you with a board that flexes in the middle and a boat that feels soft. This one carries on to 20.
What 350 litres a minute means in real time
Airflow is how quickly it fills the volume; pressure is how hard it can push at the end. This pump does both, moving 350 litres a minute in the early stage and then slowing down as it builds pressure, which is exactly how a two-stage pump should behave. In practice that's around ten minutes for a typical SUP, most of which is the high-pressure part at the end. Compare that to twenty minutes of foot-pumping and a sweat before you've even got wet.
Running it off your car without flattening the battery
At 110W on 12V this pulls a bit under 10 amps, which is well inside what a cigarette socket handles. Run the engine while you're inflating if you're doing more than one item, because ten minutes of solid draw on a battery that's been sitting is exactly how a good day at the ramp turns into a jump start. The 3m lead is long enough to reach from the socket to the ground beside the car with the door shut on it.
Setting the pressure and letting it finish on its own
The LCD lets you dial in the pressure you want before you start, and the pump shuts off when it gets there. That's not just convenience, it's protection: over-inflating drop-stitch gear stresses the seams, and on a hot day the air inside expands and climbs past where you set it anyway. Set it a little under your maximum if the board is going to sit in full sun, and check it again once it's been out for an hour.
Do the adapters fit what you own?
Six adapters cover the common valve types you'll find on SUPs, kayaks, tenders and inflatable docks, including the Halkey-Roberts style fitting most drop-stitch gear uses. Check the valve on your gear against the adapters before your first trip rather than at the ramp. If you've got something unusual, ring the store on 03 7056 6732 and describe the valve and we'll tell you whether it's covered before you buy.
What's Included
- High pressure electric air pump
- 1m flexible air hose
- 6 valve adapters
- 3m DC car plug lead
- Operating instructions
What's Not Included
- A 240V power adapter
- A repair kit for your inflatable
- A backup manual pump
It runs off a 12V car socket only, so there's no 240V option in the box. The hose and all six adapters are included, so check your valve type against them before your first trip.
Not Sure Which Inflatable Accessory Suits You?
This pump suits you if you're running a drop-stitch SUP, an inflatable tender, a kayak or a dock and you want it up at real pressure in about ten minutes at the ramp. It's the wrong pick if all you inflate is low-pressure gear like a lilo or a pool toy, where a cheap volume pump does the job for a fraction of the money.
