What else do I need to use this item? Do I need some kind of pump? Sorry, newbie here :-)

All you would need is JW Pet Company Fusion Air Pump 200 Aquarium Air Pump from Amazon

You will need a small aquarium pump. Also available on Amazon. Search "aquarium".

My best recommendation is to use a stabilizer in the tank so you don't have to replace it. If you need to drain it you can use a small hand pump (not electric)

you can use a bicycle pump or just use your mouth. It is very easy to do. Hope this helps you!

You defiantly need a pump. We used our electric tire pump. Took about a half an hour to inflate.

It is best to use an air pump. I have a small one that I use for air mattresses and it works great. If you are taking it to a resort or pool, they may inflate it for you. I took mine to the Mandalay Bay and they aired it up for free. Worked great in the lazy river!

I have only used this system connected to a hose bib. That being said, a pump could be used, but would need to have a capable of about 30 to 40 psi and maybe 1 to 3 gallons per minute. And, even then you may want to have a valve in line to throttle it back the gpm even more.

We leave it over the weekend, a filter and pump would be a nice additionit's not designed to be inflated or out in the elements long unless you get a cover, I use my cordless leaf blower to inflate it, but a small shop vac setup to blow would work just as well

You do not have to use pump at all. Its more about how you hook up hoses. The motor is the same regardless if you use as vac or pump.

You will need a much more powerful air pump w/2 outlets per pump. This particular model is the smallest available, with just enough output for use w/a single bubble ring (that's what I use but I'm sure the standard bubble wands could be an alternative). Definitely a tiny, weak "accessory" pump only!

A regular electric pump will work but it will take a while. We used them on a popular river so a place that rents them out let us use his pump. It worked a lot faster.

If you are asking for user operations, then a small pamphlet in three languages came with the pump and sleeve to tell you how to set it up and basic operations. That is all we have needed so far. Hope that helps.

You will need a pump for sure. I am using an external pump currently as I drilled an opening for a bulkhead in the third chamber.

You should have a plug with it; all three of the ones I bought had plugs. No wonder it won't hold air! I just used a hand air pump.

You don't need a pump. Everything is done with water pressure jetting through the hose & gravity, which drains your tanks.

I wouldn't recommend a hand pump or even a small car inflater. I absolutely recommend finding someone with an air compressor.

You don't need a pump for this, but it would make it easier to blow up. It has a standard blow-up valve on it, so whatever pump nozzle has a fitting that would work. I used lung power to blow this up, and it took about 10 minutes.

I use it without a pump. Just a garden hose hooked to the trailer. I was pleased with my results.
