What's the pressure like with each pump? Is it hard to push the pump?

Suppose it depends on the person and their strength to some extent, but I did not think it became too hard too push the handle as the soccer ball filled. It is a small pump.

The closer to full the tank is, the fewer pumps it takes. For a full tank, it takes me about 20 pumps to fully pressurize the tank.

YES! We have low pressure. It is like hooking up a power washer to a garden hose. There aren't a bunch of settings, but you can adjust it to be less intense. I highly recommend this product. I have had one for over 10 years.

The vacuum pump I use has a pressure gauge on it or you can run it through your gauges.

you don't need a pump. But they are VERY hard. I returned them, and bought shark skins to replace these. The shark skins are durable, and don't hurt. I had one hit me hard, but just shocked me.

In my opinion- It is very difficult for kids to pump the cylinder. It builds up alot of resistance and becomes difficult. An adult will need to constantly pump it for him/her. We bought this last year and no longer use it.

The pump works very well. I have seen pressure as high as 85 psi. This is not recommended as it could cause pipes to burst. Set presser switch to 60 cut off, 40 to cut on.

Buy a smaller electric Black and Decker 30 dollar pump, where you can set the pressure. Turn it on, and let it go. It takes a long time ...at least 30 minutes. The hand pumps take forever.

The bottom line is going to be water pressure. I use it with a booster pump

That happens with mine too (difficult to pump).. Probably normal =[ I suppose that's why they cost less than big name. Worth contacting Stant with that question. Let us know what you hear back

We did not get it for the pressure. We got it for the ease of cleaning and the size. Our water pressure is fine. We just installed one for my 81 year old mother and she loves it.

I don't think it is difficult to pump at all. If you pump more than 5 pumps it does get harder to pump, but I would think that is to be expected since you are building up more and more pressure. I find 4 or 5 pumps is plenty for target shooting, etc. It is a well designed pistol with good safety features. I really do like it and am glad I have it.

As far as i know it should work just fine. Are the pre set pressures in the range of what you want. You can adjust them some. I hope this may help you.

I don't find it difficult to push at all. It has really good suction, though, so pulling back requires a bit more force. A normal, healthy adult would have no problem with it. Someone with musculoskeletal issues might feel,a bit of strain.

Hi... i used a regular pump like the one you use for bicycles. Just be mindful of the air pressure limits.Enjoy!

I pushed it uphill about 150 feet with no issue. Please remember - this is a low pressure pump so if you are going to be just moving water, it is great. If you are looking for moving and pressure, you will not get.

That's a tough one. Seems I have to actually start using slight force at about 30 PSI. My tires need 50, so from 30 to 50 it gets a bit tiring. Still not hard, just a lot of pumping. Also seems the faster I pump the better it works. Slow and steady doesn't seem to move the gauge.
