How many 36" balloons will this fill?

We made a 72 balloon arch. Each balloon was standard 12" and we still have a lot left in the bottle. Just 1 squirting per balloon is all you need. The kit comes with spacers to measure out the flow of the high float. Hope this helps

I'm not sure of an exact count, but the answer is, a lot! I bought this for a first birthday party decorated with LOTS of balloons, many of them 36", and I still have some Hi-Float left over. I put in a lot for those, three full pumps if I remember correctly (it's been a while) and they really lasted! People complain about this stuff but generally if you do have problems, you've done something wrong. Pump it in, rub it around, fill balloon. Easy.

Lots. It just takes a little tiny bit (not a full pump) and then you squish it around in the inside of the balloon. Too much of a squirt will actually make the balloons drop because of the weight (in the mtns of CO, anyway). But really, just a little squirt and then you massage the balloon. I just found 3 balloons from November when cleaning our theater that were still inflated --- not floating, but not loosing air. It works if you are looking for something to extend the helium's "hours".

About the size of your average water balloon. They tend to work best when filled to about 2" - 2.5" in diameter give or take.

Not to fill it. I bought 200 and it didn't even fill half. I would go with 400.

The helium tanks I buy from the party store come with about 30 balloons, but they're on the smaller side. However, I can't vouch for this amazon listing, as I didn't purchase this particular product from this seller. Sorry!

You can fill one of them up at least 2 or 3 times with one of the tanks you get from Walmart. Those tanks run around $20. When I called local stores to see what they would charge me to fill them up, it was going to run anywhere from $6 to $9. But that was for a standard size balloon, so it would probably cost over $10 at some stores due to the size of these.

You should under inflate it to about a 6' diameter. Measure the shadow it casts to get an approximation. As it ascends the helium will expand the balloon to the 20' diameter before it bursts.

It's a huge tank. 12" high 11" dia. and says 14.9 cu.ft. of helium so about 14.9 cu.ft. of balloons.

Ah, thanks for the reply, we ended up using this balloon and the results were perfect!

Listing says it comes with 250 balloons, this was a long distance gift so I didn't actually see it, but I do recall my daughter saying there were "loads of balloons". She also reported that the pump worked long enough to get through most of the balloons but then broke but that it was such a hit that it was worth it, anyway!

A couple hundred to make a decent one. I have don't have enough cover the bottom and I probably have around 50 in mine. My kids don't care. They have a blast in this. I can fit 4 kids in there!

I think we started ours with the two bags of 200 and ended up getting 9 bags total. 9 makes it really full but not necessarily needed. I would say maybe 4-5 bags is plenty since most of the work is getting them out. :) Hope that helps

These particular balloons are made to be inflated with air, they are not large enough to inflate with helium and float. Balloons 9" or larger are manufactured to be filled with helium to float. Thank you.Thank you!

It will still take some time - 250 balloons is a lot, and it takes a few pumps to inflate each balloon - but it will definitely be a far better option than inflating them using lung power!

I ordered these balloons (the seller was Party Explosions). There were 6 (nice) balloons, and they did only cost 48 cents (plus $3.99 shipping). Hope this helps!

Just a couple. Its not huge. Truthfully I use it as a snot sucker so I haven't actually tried to fill it.

A filling hose from a helium tank is helpful. Depending on the size of your balloon, it may take 2-3 full size helium tanks to fill. Helium suppliers typically rent the tank; you just buy the helium.

Any standard balloon size should work. I"ve used different balloons other than the ones included with no problem.
