The inflation points on this are ridiculous. How do you attach any sort of pump to make this work.

I didn't put it up this Summer since I moved, but I don't remember having any difficulty last year.

you need to use a air mattress pump not a bicycle pump. The valves are the same as on most air mattresses.

The pump we have has various size pieces. We bought it a long time ago for something else and I don't remember where we got it....sorry

I have never done that, I don't see why you couldn't. The way mine is being used is for pressure relief on parts of the body, consequently I use the inflation/deflation alternation. You have to actively deflate it for storage, so it should maintain a static firmness for all over for firm support without the pump action. Hope this helps!

I use an electric pump. You might be able to use a bicycle pump to inflate with the right attachment on the pump. A screw on attachment that is cone shaped might work.

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

Once it inflates, you need to purchase the CO2 re-arming kit (over $20 on Amazon) for the next use. Of course, you can blow it up manually but that defeats the whole concept. Since Amazon does not let you return this item, I would definitely check this out at a sporting goods store first. I, for one, would not buy it again.

Mine is an older model. It has no inflation options. I just press the start button.

you use a vacuum pump harbor freight sells them they are small pumps opposite of a compressor pump

Sounds like you have a short. I had NO LUCK WITH this pump. I have nothing good to say about it.

There is a valve on the one side. You should be able to re-inflat with a needle - like one used to reinflate a basketball. Go to your local sporting goods store and they should be able to help you.

Mine have remained completely inflated since June. Perhaps there's a slow leak and maybe you can put a patch (like on a tire) on it. Other than that, I'd complain to the manufacturer. That's not supposed to happen.

Ours came inflated to the correct pressure. You can pump it up with a standard inflating needle and pump.

These are NEARLY impossible to inflate. But if you pinch the valves on one side, either with VERY strong fingers or pliers, you can make enough of a slit to blow air in. And it will stay inflated. NOT easily done, though! It's a "Confidence-building system" designed to build confidence for anyone strong and patient enough to inflate iT!

I used a pump that came with my exercise ball. Otherwise its the gas station...no way I could blow this up :) Still inflated though.

You have to squeeze the tip while blowing into it. We did it and it stayed inflated all day and still is.

A small air pump or bicycle pump. No problem with it over filling with air. use your common sense.

I sent this to my grandson for his birthday. His dad used a bicycle pump. Hope this helps.

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)
