FAQs
Does the pump come with a needle?
Yes, the Mitre High Speed Ball Pump typically comes with a standard inflation needle.
What types of balls can I inflate with this pump?
This pump is suitable for various sports balls, including footballs, rugby balls, and netballs.
How long does it take to inflate a football?
Inflation time varies based on the ball's current pressure and your pumping effort, but it is designed for high-speed inflation, typically taking under a minute for a standard football.
Can I use this pump for basketballs?
While primarily designed for football, rugby, and netballs, it should work with basketballs if they use a standard inflation valve.
Is there a pressure gauge included?
No, this model is a high-speed manual pump and does not come with a built-in pressure gauge.
How should I store the pump?
Store the pump in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the needle is protected.
Is the flexible hose replaceable?
The flexible hose is integrated. If it becomes damaged, you may need to replace the entire pump.
Troubleshooting
Pump not inflating the ball
Ensure the needle is fully inserted into the ball valve and that the needle is not bent or blocked. Check that the pump mechanism is moving freely.
Air is leaking from the pump nozzle
Verify that the needle is securely attached to the nozzle. If the leak persists, the nozzle seal may be compromised and may require replacement or repair.
Flexible hose feels stiff
Gently flex the hose back and forth. If stiffness persists, it might be due to cold temperatures; try warming the hose slightly indoors.
