how do you inflate it? im using a compressor but as soon as i take nozzle out it instantly deflates. there is no plug that I can tell

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.

I used a hand pump sold at Sports Authority. There is a plug that came with it. It's white and it looks like a needle.

They sent me the ball with a plug in my package. Actually when i take the pump out it deflated a little bit... Have to prepare..

There shouldn't be any air coming out when it's not attached to anything, you should contact the seller. Maybe one of the safety valves, pressure gauge, or fill port is loose?

The nozzle by the on/off switch needs to be turned completely to closed. If it still loses air, you got a lemon and should contact Amazon to replace it. That's what happened to me. First use with m 130 lb son and it lost air. Replacement held my 200lb hubby and didn't lose any air.

You have to squeeze the tube to open the valve while inflating. Read the instruction card.

When u r blowing into the little plug thingys, kind of squeeze it at the same time. It took me a couple of tries to get the hang of it, but it inflates pretty quick once you do. there are 3 plugs, one for the sides, one for the bottom, and one for the horn thing that sticks up. Hope this helps.

So I was in exactly the same situation, how to inflate ! I used a pump like you use for swimming tubes for kids, bikes etc, it worked perfectly. I bought at Target. Hope this helps.

make sure all seals are tight and the hose is connected properly to pump and fill tip. worse comes to worse use a bike pump or air mattress pump. be careful with the last idea. have some one hold a yard stick next to bosu while inflating and when good height have pin ready to go in as you pull hose

I carefully used an air compressor....although it said this wasn't recommend (assuming because if you are not careful, it could pop). It does say to inflate to about 80% capacity to allow air to flow within the mattress while weight is on it. Pretty comfortable.

I used my shop air compressor, but a small pump such as a water toys inflater would work also. I does take a while to inflate.

We had to use a very large air compressor and it still took about an hour. I imagine it would take days to inflate from a lighter jack. Once we inflated we just kept the air in it and just fill up if its running a bit low.

Day 1: We ran into some bushes and I got a hole in a one back rest. Then it popped when I inflated it w/ gas station style air pump :(. I kept checking it so I wouldn't over inflate it and pop it...but it happened anyway. I highly recommend buying a portable inflated/deflater. I got a Coleman & it worked great w/ this inner tube & it won't pop it. Make sure you have 2 oars to stear to avoid bushes...

This comes with an air gauge that can be used to deflate - pushing the button on the side of the gauge releases air. Another option is an automatic deflator .. Staun Tire Deflators

Hi, on the side there is air piece that you pull out like on a inflatable raft or a beach ball. I used an air compressor as it will take a very long time to blow it up by mouth.

There is a cap that covers the place where you inflate the pillow. You remove the cap and just blow on that area - it will inflate. However as I mentioned in the review there is a red button on it too - be very careful because it falls off easily and this is what you use to deflate it by pressing on it... Mine fell off and now I will have to contact the manufacture to get a replacement....

I actually used my compressor. I turned the pressure way down but you really have to be careful if you use a compressor. Just blow it up really slow whatever you use.

Mine fully inflates. Didn't notice anything on the ends to show that it is not the same as the rest of the unit. I do blow a few breaths in to it though. Might be a bad unit.

You need to pump it up in stages so you wiuld need to wait that long just to inflate it. Once inflated you can use immediately.
