How do I pump gas into the balloons?

Fill with air or helium through the filling sleeve connected to the balloon. Automatic seal then closes after filling.

At one of the ends of the balloon, just like regular metallic balloons, it has a little nozzel where you insert the helium tanks spout into to fill with helium.

They r huge n take a lot of helium. Helium is n short supply n the world since the vents n Texas r almost depleted so in Kodiak AK it cost me 100$ to fill up six giant letters. Everywhere else I'm sure it's cheaper but still. You can go to any super market or party store n for a fee they wil fill them up for you.

I use a rechargeable air pump with a switch to deflate . It only takes 2 minutes.

Hi Alison, The ball should have come with a plastic straw. Insert this into the ball and inflate by blowing by mouth. The ball doesn't have to be inflated beyond what you can do by mouth. Just be careful when you put the white plastic plug in the inflation hole to seal it. This is where you can loose some of your pressure. This may take a few tries until you get the technique. Be ready to cover the hole with your finger after taking the straw out. Take the straw out of the ball while you're still blowing into the ball. Good luck!!

I'm assuming that you are attending the music festival, rather than hosting it? That would mean that you are taking the deflated balloon in with you and can't take an electric pump or shop vac with you. It will take forever to try to blow it up without one of those. You could try cans of compressed air or maybe a foot pump or bicycle pump, but be prepared to go early.

The pump is not air-tight enough to inflate the balloons with just air. You can pump the balloon up to walnut-size, that's it.

I used a small electric air pump. it works really well. I use it to fill all my inflatable rafts and pool. you can buy it at any store that sells summer rafts and pools. it's so much faster this way. but be careful not to over inflate. hope this helps.

You can use some kind of hand pump, but I just blow it up by mouth. Beware, there's a one-way valve in the stem - so be sure to pinch the stem while you're blowing it up. I'm 65-years-old and it takes me about 2 minutes to inflate completely. Hope that helps.

I used an electric air pump and it took less than a minute, but you can do it with manual pump too. We inflated ours before we went to the party so there was less to do the day of. It doesn't take up that much room if you have an SUV or truck, we just put in on the top of all the coolers and transported it that way.

You will have to get helium. If you have a winn Dixie or party city near you they will do it for a price.

First, only fill half way so there is enough air space in the container to hold some air pressure. Pump a few times until the pressure on pump is firm but not tight.Second, hold closer to pan.

I've been able to use tire inflating fittings from Lowe's as well as my little dust blower fitting which uses a standard quick connect on the bottom. However, you won't get much force as the only air stored at high pressure is the air in the line. I think you would have to make the compressor go into a small tank (2 or 5 gallon) to reliably blow dust around or air up balloons.

There's a button on the pump you press it down. If you want it completely deflated you'll have to apply pressure.

Hi! Inflating balloons with this pump results in balloons that stay on the ground. If you want your balloons to float, you could purchase a Balloon Time Tank that has helium, which causes the balloons to float.

I use a pressure gauge and pump the inflatable to the manufactures specification. I find that this is the best way. I don't loose very much air when disconnecting the pump providing you perform the operation quickly.

No you do not. However a pump or leaf blower is highly recommended. It would take for ever to inflate them manually

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.
