Are you planning to decorate your birthday party, wedding reception, anniversary party or any other special event with floating balloons? Always the first choice will be helium balloons. Therefore, helium tank rentals would be the best option for you. You can inflate as many balloons as your party décor requires. Check balloon variety to purchase at Party Warehouse Outlet.
If you would like to create a balloon ceiling for your special event, helium tank rentals would be more economical than buying balloons filled with helium.
Why is a helium balloon the best option for your special event?
- – Foil balloons filled with helium can stay afloat for about three days or even three weeks depending on the balloon brand. But, if the event is outdoor, the float time can decrease as the heat rises.
- – There are unique designs, shapes of foil balloons like animals, numbers, objects, these types of balloons are popular for children’s parties.
- – Latex and foil balloons can be refilled with more helium if needed.
There are different tank sizes as per the number of balloons you want to blow, one can be a 27 cubic feet tank and the other 55 cubic feet tank. The 27 cubic foot tank will do about 54 balloons, and the 55 cubic foot tank will do about 110 balloons, that is if you blow the 11-inch latex balloons to the proper size and not overinflating them.
Helium tank rentals will usually come with a basic nozzle, which is a very simple nozzle to blow balloons. Some companies might offer fancier inflators for those who ask for them, they cost a little bit more to rent them.
How to Fill Helium Party Balloons?
Take your balloon filling valve and screw it onto your tank. The tanks are very easy to lift. Then flip the tank to open. There is an open with an arrow going the other way so flip the tank to open. Flipped the switch to open, then put your balloon over the inflator and press so the helium will come out. Once your balloon is the correct size, take it off the inflator. Now it is very important, only hand-touch do not use any tools.
Generally, balloons only have 16 cubic feet of helium in them and it is about the same price as a tank rental. It is a very cost-effective helium tank rental instead of purchasing a helium tank. Also, it is better for the environment because the helium tank rental gets reused.
Foil/Mylar balloons
It is important to know that it is not recommended to use the latex tilt valve to blow up a foil balloon unless you use a special double nozzle for latex and foil balloons. If you use a latex tilt valve, you will be blowing too much helium in there too fast and therefore damage the valve.
Use the foil valve when filling foil balloons. There is a little hole that you want to slide on to the foil valve. Then push up, the foil double valve measures the pressure going into the balloon so when the balloon is full, it will stop.
Once your foil balloon is full, pull it off where there is a little line on the tail of the balloon. Most of the balloons have that nowadays, it will say “tie ribbon here”, so make sure you tie the ribbon at that point. This will help you to not tie over the valve. If you tie it over the valve, it crimps it which will make your helium leak. Another great thing is in case you need to re-inflate it; you can get right inside of it. Finally, put a ribbon.
Some of the products that Party Warehouse Outlet offers for helium tank rentals are:
Double Nozzle Valve
This is one of the most common inflators since you can blow up almost any balloon such as foil balloons and latex balloons. Use the nozzle according to the balloon you are inflating. For foil balloons, use the foil nozzle because this will send helium slower into the balloon than the nozzle for a latex balloon.
The latex balloon nozzle is usually used to inflate latex balloons, Orbz balloons, and bubble balloons. It will also have a pressure gauge which measures how much gas is in the cylinder so you will know when you are running out of gas.
Latex Balloon Inflator
This is used for latex balloons, and it can also inflate Orbz and Bubble balloons. Never use this for foil balloons.
When you are not using the tank, you must leave it off. There is always a slight chance that you might have a little bit of helium leaking over very slowly but over a very long period of time, you’re going to use a lot of helium so turn it off when you are not using the tank.
