Can NEMO tents be inflated using compressed air?

A. Yes, but only when pressure regulated to between 6-9psi. One of the great things about NEMO air-supported tents is that they are designed to be functional at low pressures and therefore don’t require heavy pumps or compressed air for inflation. In turn, compressed air systems may be used for extremely rapid deployment, but they will need a regulator or blow-off valve to ensure that the pressures do not exceed 9psi.
