Product Specifications
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to commonly asked questions below.
-
Is the Airflo 12 compressor compatible with all Mangar lifting products, or is it specific to certain models?
The Airflo 12 is specifically engineered to power Mangar's low-pressure hygiene range, including the Bathing Cushion, Archimedes Bath Lift, and Surfer Bather. It operates on a distinct 12-volt architecture that provides the gentle, consistent airflow required for comfort during bathing, which is different from the 24-volt system used for emergency lifting cushions like the Elk or Camel. Attempting to use this compressor with incompatible high-pressure lifting devices will result in non-operation. It is crucial to verify your equipment model to ensure safe and correct power delivery.
-
How does the "battery protection protocol" ensure I won't get stuck in the bath with a dead battery?
This unit features a critical safety intelligence system known as "lower inhibit" logic, which constantly monitors the battery's voltage level. Before allowing the seat to deflate and lower you into the tub, the microprocessor calculates if there is sufficient power remaining to fully re-inflate and lift you back out. If the charge is too low, the compressor will simply refuse to lower you, preventing the frightening scenario of being stranded at the bottom of the bathtub. This fail-safe mechanism ensures that if you go down, you are guaranteed to come back up.
-
How many full bathing cycles can I expect from a single charge of the Airflo 12?
On a full charge, the Airflo 12 typically delivers enough power for one to two complete bathing cycles, depending on the user's weight and the specific accessory attached. While this might seem conservative, it is designed to maintain peak performance and reliability for daily bathing routines rather than continuous industrial use. The lightweight design (approx. 5.7kg) prioritizes portability, making it easy to move for charging between uses. For optimal readiness, we recommend placing it on charge immediately after your bath is finished.
-
Is the compressor unit itself waterproof, and can it be placed next to the tub during use?
While the hand control is fully submersible with an IP67 waterproof rating, the Airflo 12 compressor housing is water-resistant but not fully waterproof. It is designed to be placed on a dry, stable surface outside the immediate wet zone of the bathtub, such as on the floor or a nearby shelf. The air hose is long enough to bridge the gap, ensuring the electrical unit remains safe from splashes or accidental immersion. Following this placement protocol is essential for electrical safety in the bathroom environment.
-
What is the recommended charging routine to maximize the lifespan of the internal battery cells?
To ensure the maximum longevity of the internal valve regulatory system and battery cells, Mangar recommends a "top-up" charging discipline. You should charge the battery fully before its first use and then recharge it immediately after every bath, rather than waiting for it to run flat. Leaving the unit connected to the battery charger continuously when not in use is often encouraged, as the smart charger will switch to a maintenance mode to keep the cells healthy without overcharging. Proper battery care significantly extends the operational life of your investment.
