I have a Launch Pad Sofa and need to buy a ballast pump for it. Is the Launch Pad Uber pump worth it, or is it really problematic? I have read that it leaks and breaks quite easily. <BR> <BR>I was looking for just the adapter to connect to the bag so I could fill it up with another pump but a couple people I talked to said I had to buy a Uber Pump cause its the only one that will fit with the connector. Is this true? If not where can I buy the connectors.

Are the tsunami aerator pumps like these <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Attwood-Tsunami-Cartridge-Style-Aerator-Pump-1200-GPH_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ26449QQihZ005QQitem Z150233962062QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW" target="_blank">http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Attwood-Tsunami-Cartridge-Style-Aerator-Pump-1200-GPH_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ26449QQihZ005QQitem Z150233962062QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW</a>, the same as the version that usually sells for $100 and is designated for sac filling? <BR> <BR>(Message edited by PureBlue on April 12, 2008)

yup pretty much

loudsubz 04-12-2008 9:29 AM

if I go with the tsunami pump what fitting will work on the bag I have?

lovin_the_wake 04-12-2008 9:34 AM

well I'm not 100% sure which fitting to use you might contact buywake.com and ask them

loudsubz 04-12-2008 9:38 AM

Thats the thing, I sent them an email and they said there wasn't a fitting I could buy and that I had to buy the Uber Pump from Launch Pad instead.

well you can buy a Tsunami pump like the one on the link to e-bay above clamp a hose on and then buy <a href="http://www.buywake.com/catalog/detail/kb75Z" target="_blank">http://www.buywake.com/catalog/detail/kb75Z</a> and make your own . . . I think

I was hoping I could do something like that, but wasn't sure why buywake said I could not.

lovin_the_wake 04-12-2008 9:46 AM

hmmm good point

pureblue 04-12-2008 7:54 PM

Ya that replacement kit looks like it would work. It is kind of a rigged job since you are buying the hose and putting on a different pump. They probably would rather you dish out for a whole pump system than $4 bucks for an adapter.
