BTP Two Stage Electric Turbo Pump Review

Pumping up an inflatable kayak is not that hard. Even using a standard foot pump or hand pump doesn’t take an excessive amount of time.

For years I used a foot pump and was quite happy with it. I always found the foot pump to be a lot less back breaking than using a hand pump.

However when I finally got the chance to try out a good electric pump, I could never look back.

Perhaps it’s laziness but inflating my kayak in only a minute without lifting a finger is pretty nice.

The BTP Two Stage Electric Turbo Pump is the first one that I tried and I ended up using it for many years.

At the time (we’re going back ten years now) this was the best pump on the market for inflating an inflatable kayak, paddle board or other type of inflatable boat.

It was the most powerful, the fastest and I would say the simplest to use.

IMPORTANT FEATURES

This pump has some great features including:

• It has two stages. The first stage is for low pressure, which inflates the majority of the kayak quite quickly. Then it switches to stage 2, which is the high- pressure mode. This stage is a bit slower but will get your kayak as rigid as it needs to be.
• You can set the PSI level on the pump and it will shut off automatically once it reaches it.
• Can inflate up to 15 PSI
• Comes with 8’6” alligator clips to attach to your car battery and a 6’ hose so there is lots of room to maneuver.
• There is an optional turbo pump 12V lead battery for cordless use available for purchase if desired.
• It comes with a carry bag and all necessary valve attachments for inflatable kayaks, inflatable SUP’s and other inflatable boats and accessories.

ISSUES I HAD WITH THIS PUMP

Although the pump was great when working well, it had a tendency to burn out.

I had a couple of them and used them a lot no doubt but I found that it would overheat if I was consistently inflating more than one kayak or paddle board.

Once it burns out it’s basically useless and for the price I felt that it should be lasting a lot longer than it was.

However at the time it was the best option out there.

OTHER ELECTRIC PUMP OPTIONS

Fast forward several years later and we now have quite a few options when it comes to electric pumps for inflatable kayaks, SUP’s and other inflatable boats.

There are pumps now that have a built in cooling mechanism that stops the pump from overheating.

I now consistently use the Outdoormaster 12V Shark electric pump and much prefer it.  You can read my review of the Shark pump here.

Bottom Line

Even though this is not my pump of choice it has been popular for many years and still has some great features.

It connects easily to the car battery with the included battery clips and inflates kayaks very quickly.

It also comes with several different valve attachments so it can be used with different inflatable products.
