TUV Certified Blowers - Proven Safety & Performance You Can Trust
At Proflow Dynamics, we're proud to say that our Proflow blower range has gone above and beyond the standard requirements by achieving full TUV certification - not only for the UK and EU, but also for broader international markets. When you invest in a Proflow blower, you're choosing a product that has passed some of the most rigorous independent safety and performance tests in the world.
What Is TUV Rheinland?
TÜV Rheinland is a globally recognised independent testing, inspection, and certification organisation with over 150 years of expertise in safety and quality assurance. Founded in 1872 and headquartered in Cologne, Germany, TUV Rheinland operates in more than 60 countries, including a significant presence in the UK and Europe. Their testing protocols are respected worldwide, and their certification mark is a symbol of reliability, performance, and consumer safety.
Going Beyond Compliance - Why Our Blowers Are TÜV Certified
While the inflatable industry in the UK typically looks for compliance with EN14960 and basic CE markings, we've chosen to go a step further. TUV certification means our Proflow 1.5HP, Proflow Max 2HP, and Proflow Max Ultra 3HP blowers have been independently tested to meet internationally recognised standards for:
- ✅ Electrical safety
- ✅ Mechanical performance
- ✅ Build quality and durability
- ✅ Thermal management and motor protection
- ✅ Long-term safety in continuous use environments
This isn't just about ticking boxes - it's about delivering a blower that you can rely on day in, day out, especially in commercial, high-demand settings.
Why TUV Certification Matters to You
Whether you're operating a bouncy castle hire business, managing inflatables at events, or purchasing for trade resale, TÜV certification gives you a real-world advantage:
- Enhanced safety assurance for clients and insurers
- Stronger product traceability and testing documentation
- Confidence in EU/UK market access and global export potential
- Improved customer trust and professional credibility
With Proflow Dynamics, you're not just getting a blower that "does the job" - you're getting a blower that's been built, tested, and certified to do it safely, efficiently, and reliably for years to come.
Look for the TÜV Rheinland certification mark on every Proflow blower - it's our promise of quality, backed by one of the most respected names in global testing.
Achieving Correct Pressure in Inflatables -
Achieving Correct Pressure in Inflatables - Stay Safe & Stay Compliant with EN14960
When it comes to operating commercial inflatables, your blower isn't the only essential piece of kit - a bouncy castle manometer is just as important. At Proflow Dynamics, we're committed to helping you meet the latest UK HSE safety regulations, protect the public, and keep your business compliant with EN14960 standards.
Why Is Air Pressure So Important in Bouncy Castles?
Every inflatable that's hired out in the UK - whether to a private garden party or a large commercial event - must meet a minimum pressure level of 4" water gauge (1 kPa). This is not just best practice; it's a legal requirement introduced in the HSE update on 13th June 2022. Failing to meet it could make your inflatable unsafe, and could leave you legally exposed.
What Is a Manometer and Why Do You Need One?
A manometer is a simple pressure testing device used to measure the internal air pressure of your inflatable once fully inflated. It allows you to:
- Prove legal compliance with the 1 kPa (4" water gauge) pressure requirement.
- Identify underperforming or aging blowers.
- Ensure inflatable walls, slides and backstops are stable and safe.
- Quickly test and record pressure before every hire, as required by HSE.
IMPORTANT: HSE now requires hirers to take and record these readings on every setup, not just during annual inspections.
Manometer Specifications
Our supplied manometers are easy to use, accurate, and suitable for any UK operator. Key features include:
- Pressure Range: ±2 psi
- Accuracy: ±0.3% FSO (at 25°C)
- Response Time: 0.5 seconds
- Units of Measurement: 11 selectable
- Functions: Max/Min/Average reading, data hold, auto-zero
- Display: Backlit LCD for all conditions
- Humidity Rating: Up to 90% RH
- Weight: Approx. 63g
NOTE: We change suppliers regularly to ensure best prices, so please check exact features before ordering.
How to Use a Manometer
- Insert the clear tube into the blower inlet or inflation tube.
- Strap and seal the blower as normal.
- Power on and inflate the unit fully.
- Read and record the manometer pressure reading along with wind speed.
- Remove the manometer. (It does not need to be left with the customer.)
- If under 4" WG / 1 kPa - swap blower, increase power, or do not use the inflatable.
📋 You should document every reading on your driver's logs, delivery sheets, or customer disclaimers.
What If the Pressure Is Too Low?
If your inflatable does not reach the required 1 kPa pressure, take the following steps:
- ✅ Swap to a more powerful blower (e.g., from 1.5HP to 2HP or 3HP).
- ✅ Add an additional blower if the unit allows.
- ✅ Clean or service your blower - especially older models. Dust and debris on fan blades can reduce output by up to 25%.
If pressure still fails after all attempts, the inflatable must not be used.
HSE Legal Guidance - June 2022
In June 2022, the HSE issued critical safety updates for all bouncy castle and inflatable operators. These include:
- Mandatory pressure testing on delivery of every hire.
- Required wind speed recording at all events.
- Annual calibration of testing equipment (including manometers).
- Stronger supervision and enforcement from Trading Standards, HSE Officers and Local Authorities.
