How fast does this inflate a pool pillow for closing above ground pools? a

Bettyann, I have this inflator, but I use it to inflate or "top off" my car tires or my lawn tractor tires. It does a good job on those in a very reasonable amount of time. I assume it would also do a good job in your situation even though yours is more about the volume of air at relative low pressure while my use is more about the pressure of the air at relatively low volume. Hope this helps a little.

With an electric pump I bought on Amazon - the "Intex 110 - 120 Volt AC Quick-fill Electric Pump". Inexpensive pump and the pool takes me only a few minutes to inflate - maybe 10 minutes tops. Very easy!!!

Someone else ask about the air flow and I responded with this:I just tried inflating my air mattress with this, it took 24 seconds. My mattress inflated measures 70 X 52 X 8, so running the math I get an air flow of ~40CFM. I also tried the 12V version and it was really close, but just a couple seconds slower.

With a dual action hand pump I can inflate mine in under 10 minutes. With the electric pump in under 5. By lung power about a half hour(only did this once lol)

Yes! It should do it quickly. We use it to inflate a boat and it does it in about 5 minutes and it's a pretty large inflatable .

I don't know exactly, but it was too fast for a small pool. We kept running it into the walls.

I have an inground pool so I can't really answer ur question. Maybe it will work on ur above ground pool, not to sure.

You blow up the pool and then detach. My nephew blows it up with an electric pump, the wet/dry vac-it has a reverse switch or his air compressor, which ever is handy. My nephew deflates it at the end of each day, by reversing the blower and it deflates quickly, wipe it dry and we store it in a plastic bin with all the balls we put in the pool. Both inflating and deflating take very little time. The kids and adults love it! The neighbors are very jealous!

Not clear what your definition for "ground pool" is. This pump is used for my "in ground" pool. But, it can be used to pump water for either and in-ground or above ground pool. The pump spec's specify how many feet of "lift" and how much pressure it can generate. I have a 10,000 gallon in-ground pool. This pump does a great job of lifting the water from approximately 6 foot depth. Again, the specifications can be obtained from the Hayward web site if you need more details.

The hose is pretty strong and durable. I doubt the suction from the pump would be strong enough to crush (flatten) the hose. There is a small hole close to where the hose attaches; I imagine this is to keep pressure from getting too strong on inflates and deflates. I have had mine for two summers, inflating a medium size kid's pool many times. I've used the deflate option less, but it works well too. The pump is going strong.

It runs off of suction, where as most in ground pools use "return" pressure as the source for the cleaner...so my answer would be "no".

The pump is about half the size of my old pump. The advantage of the pump is runs slower at about 5 psi and uses about a third of the electricty so it runs 18 hours a day. That saves thirty percent . Remember the pool must be turned over at least once a day. The number that's most important is gallons per money. You need to figure out you pool needs and find a pump that will turn the pool over in 16 hours at half speed.(1,500 rpm)

Blower has to be running all the time. It inflates in 5-10 seconds. The kids play 10 min and we turn it off and it deflates in 30 seconds.

It inflates pretty fast. We gave it to a grandson and our daughter recalls it being well under a minute.

Rupturing would depend on the size of the ball & the material it's made of, it has no protection from over inflation except your finger on the trigger. It's not a good product & I wouldn't buy it ever again, the pump tends to break after just a few cylinders of co2 are run through it because the plastic isn't strong enough to handle the force required to puncture the co2 cylinder. I'd suggest a floor pump with a gauge & Bell makes a very inexpensive one that should be more than adequate for inflating a beach ball. If you need a co2 powered inflator I'd go with the "air chuck" from Genuine innovations... it's of much higher quality but, still won't have a regulator on it. Slime makes a battery operated rechargeable inflator with a regulator & that may be your best option for the beach if you have a reason for not using a floor pump.

Hi, I inflate a large beach ball, throw it in the pool, then cover the whole thing with a big blue tarp. I weigh the edges of the tarp down and it works great.

It inflates like a beach ball but. Definately not something you would want to blow up yourself though. I used a battery operated pump that I use for air mattresses.
