Can you inflate it with an air pump instead of helium?

We used helium for our balloon and I really liked it. I'm not sure about using the air pump.

This balloon has the typical hole for inflation that one finds on a helium balloon,so I think it could be inflated with an air pump.( Just tried another balloon, and I could inflate with an air pump)

I purchased another one at a local store that was just fine, but the one I got from this seller was defective and had no way to fill it at all. Probably just a fluke.

you can inflate this with normal air but it will not stand up or float. It has weights that you put on the feet and it will stand up. I don't think that normal air will make it stay upright. Local places in this area charged about 5 bucks to fill it with the hellium.

Yes! The top ring has to be blown up. Usually a small DC volt air mattress pump, with a cone shaped variable size nozzle will work fine. The air hole is about 1 inch in diameter.

Yes. You need to add air. I did it with a bike pump that had a basketball air fill needle on it. Hope that helps :)

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.

Yes the best way to inflate this is by buying a small air pump, I have a coleman one that I bought at walmart for $20 that works perfect to blow up all our inflatables.(would take a long time to blow up by mouth :) )

Using this balloon would be overkill. Way too big. Our balloon burst before it reached it's full size. There was just a slight breeze but it twisted a lot in the breeze. We didn't even use helium and we had a hard time keeping it on the ground. I have no idea how much helium you would need, but we spent several hours using an air compressor and it didn't reach full capacity, only about 15 ft.

Yes! We blew some up ourselves the old fashioned way and made a "balloon bouquet" and then had some inflated with helium.

I have not tried it but with a clip to hold the gas in, it might. I am a retired florist. We used hi-float to make the helium last longer in a latex balloon. I am wondering if that would work even better in these balloons. Contact your local florist and see if they carry it. They should also have the clips.

Technically, you can do this. but this lounge is probably bigger than you think, like many other customers mentioned in their reviews. it might be very difficult to blow. at least i dont think i will or want to blow it after i see it. i bought the cheapest pump from amazon together with the lounge, it works very well.

I don't see why not. I was surprised at how little air it took to inflate. My beach ball used more air.

You put the balloon on the end of the pump, pump a little into the balloon and then rub it around inside the balloon. Then you add helium as normal.

I didn't try. Used a non electric pump I had. Also, not using the mattress as it lost air before morning. It was disappointing.

It's designed to work on latex balloons which stretch around the mouth of the pump. I imagine you could hold the mylar opening tight around the pump. However, it does not have helium.

Yes, but not the batteries, and it was a little more complicated than you would think. You have to use the pump to remove the air too, which seems strange to me.

yes, make sure you get the needle that you attach to the pump so you can insert it the balls to fill with air.

I think it would have the air power to inflate it, I don't know what kind of adapter would be required.
