Super Soaker Dunk-Fill and plunger blasters

Why fast-fill Super Soaker water guns win the summer

Every water fight has the same problem: the moment your tank runs dry you are out of the game. We designed the Dunk-Fill family to make that moment last about one second. Push the translucent tank under the surface with the printed arrows pointing down, and the valve opens, fills and closes again on its own. There is no cap to unscrew in the middle of a battle and nothing to lose in the grass.

The range runs from the 3.4 oz Mini Dunk-Fill, made for small hands and pool edges, to the 33.9 oz Mega Dunk-Fill with a pump action and a targeting scope. In between sit the Dunk-Fill+ with a 12.1 oz trigger-fired tank and the 2-Pack, whose 10.1 oz pump blasters make it easy to stage a fair duel.

Plunger blasters: load from the pool, fire in a flood

Torrent, Rainstorm and Rainstorm Riot skip the tank and the pump entirely. Dip the front end, draw the handle back to fill the chamber and push it forward to empty everything at once. It is the classic poolside ambush, and because reloading happens without leaving the water, it is hard to beat in a pool fight.

If you prefer a classic tank with a twist, Flip Fill opens its 30 oz tank with a lever for hose or bucket refills and offers four spray styles from one nozzle. Whatever you pick, every blaster on this page is designed so that small water stops and long streams of water keep the summer moving.

Why Super Soaker made Dunk-Fill

Ask any kid what the biggest problem with water guns is and the answer is always the same: refilling. Twisting a cap off while your rivals soak you is no fun at all. So Super Soaker set out to fix it, and the Dunk-Fill series was the result. A fully submerged tank fills within a couple of seconds, which turns every pool, cooler or bucket into a refill station.

That speed changes the whole game. Super Soaker water guns with a dunk-fill tank spend more time firing and less time waiting, so even a small water tank feels bigger. It is the most popular way to start with Super Soaker, and it pairs well with any classic pump blaster you already own.

How a Dunk-Fill valve works

Inside every Super Soaker Dunk-Fill tank sits a simple one-way valve. Push the tank under the water and the pressure of the water around it opens the valve; air escapes, water rushes in, and within a couple of seconds the tank is full. Lift it out and the valve closes again, so nothing drips down your arm while you run. It is the fastest fill system we have ever created, and it is completely physical — no batteries, no motorized parts.

Super Soaker Dunk-Fill sizes at a glance

Mini Dunk-Fill: 3.4 oz, trigger fired, the small water blaster for little hands. Dunk-Fill+: 12.1 oz, trigger fired. Dunk-Fill 2-Pack: two pump blasters with 10.1 oz each. Mega Dunk-Fill: 33.9 oz, pump action, targeting scope. Mini Dunk-Fill Funpack: four Minis in one box. Flip Fill is not a dunk tank, but its lever-opened 30 oz tank fills almost as fast from a hose or bucket.

Plunger water guns from the Super Soaker past

Plunger blasters are one of the oldest ideas in water guns, and we still love them. Torrent, Rainstorm and the Rainstorm Riot pack load the barrel straight from the pool and release the whole load with one push. They are the most common pick for pool parties because nobody ever has to climb out to refill.

Game ideas for fast-fill Super Soaker blasters

Bucket Base: put one bucket in the middle of the lawn; players may only refill there, so every dash to the water is a risk. Pool Siege: one team in the pool with plungers, one team on the deck with Dunk-Fills. Relay Soak: teams race to dunk, run and empty their Super Soaker into a jug at the far end. Fast refills keep these games moving on a hot summer day.

Dunk-Fill or a foam dart blaster?

Many families own both. A foam dart blaster is great indoors and all year, but on a hot afternoon water guns win: there are no darts to pick up, the activity cools everyone down and a dunk-fill tank is reloaded in seconds. If your kids already love Nerf, a Super Soaker Dunk-Fill is the natural summer partner.

Caring for your Dunk-Fill blaster

Use clean tap water and rinse the valve with fresh water after a day in a chlorinated pool. Let the tank dry upside down with the valve open before you store it. A fully dry Super Soaker stays fresh until next summer, and the valve keeps sealing the way it should.
