Description
Balloon Time helium balloon tanks are ready to use straight out of the box, making it quick and easy to inflate balloons for any type of celebration – anytime, anywhere. Helium tanks are ideal for inflating latex or foil balloons for birthday parties, receptions, graduations, open houses, school or office events and so much more. Make bouquets, arches or other décor for your event using the included colorful latex balloons, or use the helium tank to inflate letter balloons, number balloons, themed or other specialty balloons (sold separately). Balloon Time helium tanks can be safely stored for future use, making them convenient to keep on hand for celebrating at a moment’s notice. Easy to Use: Twist open the green valve counterclockwise four full turns, slide a balloon onto the black nozzle and press nozzle down to start helium flow to fill the balloon. Altitude, temperature and humidity may affect balloon float time. When done, twist the green valve closed to store leftover helium for future events. Tank is recyclable when empty. For best results: Inflate balloons immediately before event; average float time is 5-7 hours.

Q: how do i recycle the tank when empty!? we bought one last year and it was great until it was time to dispose of the tank. sad face.
submitted by gailmom - 5 years ago
A: I followed directions I found on YouTube which showed me how to use a screwdriver and hammer to open the hole at the top of the tank to release all of the helium entirely. Then you use a permanent marker to circle the opened hole and write "empty" next to it and then I just put it in my regular recycle bins which get picked up bi-weekly.
submitted bymjl411 - 5 years agoA: We took ours to the county recycling center

Q: how many 41 inch foil balloons will the jumbo tank fill? thanks.
submitted by jdv - 6 months ago
A: Hello and thank you for your question. The Jumbo Helium tank should fill around 27 18" foil balloons. However, please keep in mind there are a number of factors that determine the total amount of balloons inflated, such as using balloons other than those supplied in a kit or using larger balloons. In addition, always ensure you have a good seal between the nozzle and balloon neck so no helium escapes while inflating, and tightly close the valve when storing your tank to prevent helium leakage.

Q: Hi, I am throwing a gender reveal for my cousin I need to fill at least 50 9 in balloons and one 36-in balloon plus three normal foil balloons will it be enough helium to fill all these balloons
submitted by Kat__ - 1 year ago
A: Hello, and thank you for your question. For the amount of balloons that need to be inflated, we would recommend one Jumbo tank for the 50, 9-inch balloons and an additional Jumbo tank for the 36-inch balloon and the other Mylar balloons. If you have any additional questions, please email us at BalloonTime@WorthingtonIndustries.com. Thank you.

Q: How long will the helium take last unopened?
submitted by TMD - 1 year ago
A: Hello, and thank you for your question. If your tank is stored in a room-temperature area, your unopened tank should last until you break the seal and open it up to a year. If you have any additional questions, please email us at BalloonTime@WorthingtonIndustries.com. Thank you.

submitted by Dalene - 2 years ago
A: Hi Dalene, thanks for your question. For the large amount of balloons you are inflating, we would advise two of the Jumbo tanks. The large volume of balloons you have will require more helium tank the standard tank or even one jumbo tank.

Very disappointed. I’ve used the smaller tanks before. I never had a problem. This larger tank did not give me as many balloons as I had hoped for as the box stated, I thought perhaps it was out of date but it wasn’t. Will not buy again.

Hello, and thank you for your comment. We apologize to hear about your experience with your helium tank. Each Balloon Time tank has approximately 15% more capacity than what is needed to fill the indicated number of balloons when used properly. However, other factors may alter the total amount of balloons inflated, such as using balloons other than those supplied in a kit or using larger balloons. In addition, always ensure you have a good seal between the nozzle and balloon neck so no helium escapes while inflating, and tightly close the valve when storing your tank to prevent helium leakage.

You can use our helium tanks to inflate foil/mylar and latex balloons, though we recommend if you use balloons other than those supplied, you check that the product is meant to be used with helium. There are a number of factors that may affect the float time of a balloon, including using balloons other than those supplied with the helium kits, the type of balloon being used, under- or over-inflating the balloon, as well as external factors such as temperature, humidity and altitude.

Nicky packaged, had tank, balloons and a roll of ribbon. The little balloons included were a nice assortment of colors, but not sure of the helium/air mixture. Once blown up, the balloons wouldn’t float! They would barely stay vertical! Not helium!

Not worth the price unless there's a helium shortage
2 out of 5 stars
Mmoore117 - 6 months ago
Considering there’s a helium shortage right now, it was helpful. My guess is the conditions inside your home greatly affect this product, not just a little. Our home is in Ohio and air-conditioned with the windows shut. I was up till 2 AM decorating. I filled these balloons up and the first one dropped within 40 minutes. Around 7 AM when we got up more had dropped. My daughters birthday is 18 days after my sons. I’ll use the remaining tank for her and then I wouldn’t buy again.
