How do you inflate this float?

we used the electric inflate device that we use for our small pool. This is so cute and our great granddaughter loved it

You defiantly need a pump. We used our electric tire pump. Took about a half an hour to inflate.

It is mostly self inflating. When you release the valve the matt expands, sucking air in. However, once it's done that you will need to give it a couple puffs of air to your desired firmness. Very easily done. I am very pleased with ours.

Very simple, if you need to deploy the inflatable mechanism all you do is yank on the handle and it will inflate. Or you can pull the tube tucked inside the vest and inflate manually (then you won't have to buy a rearming kit).

you have to plug it into a wall socket to inflate it. I don't think there is anyway to inflate it without plugging it in. I didn't see a way nor did it mention how to do that in the instructions, without plugging in that is.

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.

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.

Bed should be at room temperature before inflating or it may cause air leaks. Time to fully inflate is approximately 4 minutes. Turn dial on pump to "inflate" position. Bed will inflate hands free. When desired firmness is reached, turn dial to neutral position. To deflate, turn dial to deflate. Once excess air is released, turn dial to neutral position. Store bed in temp. Above 50 degrees.

It is like filling an air mattress. The best way to fill is with a shop vac or electric inflator due to size.

Just give a little tug on the cord, and it floats right up to the top, then just grab it by hand. The water buoys the weight of it, so you are not really pulling the entire weight by the cord.

You are missing a plug. It comes with two. A hand held air pump will inflate it.

You under inflate it. I filled it to 5ft diameter and it got to 98.000 ft with a payload os about 600g

You uncap the plastic nozzle and blow a few puffs of air into it. Doesn't take much. In fact the one in the photo would probably be overinflated for me.

We use a pump to inflate all our pool stuff. I imagine it would take time but I'm sure you can do it yourself with our own air.

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.

I used an air pump. Never saw where it said otherwise. Took a matter if seconds to inflate.

Either, however it was so out of shape when purchased I could not seat it on the wheel to inflate it. So, I took out the valve stem, installed a tube and used the tube to push the tire onto the wheel. Good luck!
