Product Information
Full details
The Crystals 5 Litre Foot Pump is an ideal companion for campers, water sports enthusiasts, and home users who need a reliable way to inflate airbeds, mattresses, pool floats, and fitness balls. By utilizing a dual-chamber foot-operated system, it significantly reduces the physical fatigue associated with hand pumps, offering a hands-free, efficient inflation experience; however, its manual nature means it is not suitable for high-pressure applications like road bike tires.

FAQs
Can I use this for my car tires?
No, this pump is designed for low-pressure inflatables like airbeds and pool toys and cannot reach the high pressure required for automotive tires.
Does it require batteries?
No, it is a purely mechanical, foot-operated pump.
How do I deflate an item?
Attach the hose to the deflation port on the pump and connect the other end to the item's valve to draw air out.
Is the hose length adjustable?
The hose is fixed, but it is flexible enough to reach most standard valve positions on mattresses and floats.
What should I do if the hose gets kinked?
Gently straighten the hose and ensure it is not pinched under the pump or by heavy items during storage.
Can this be used on grass?
Yes, but ensure the ground is relatively level to prevent the pump from tipping over during operation.
Troubleshooting
Air is not entering the inflatable item
Check that the hose is firmly attached to the correct 'Inflation' port and that the valve adapter is seated fully into the inflatable's nozzle.
Pump feels loose or fails to return to position
Ensure no debris is caught in the hinge or bellows and verify that the pump is placed on a completely flat, level surface.
Inflatable is leaking air immediately
Ensure the valve plug on the inflatable is closed or sealed properly after the adapter is removed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the pump, attach the included flexible hose to the appropriate port (Inflation or Deflation) based on your needs. Select the valve plug that best fits your item and insert it securely into the air valve. Ensure the pump is placed on solid ground to prevent it from sliding during use. For maintenance, keep the bellows and hose clear of sharp debris or sand, which can puncture the material or clog the internal valves. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt, and store the pump in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the flexibility of the plastic components.
