Can I use this air compressor to fill a very large inflating swimming pool? Can I connect this to a electric outlet to turn it on?

I would rather fill my pool with water, personally... Joking aside: if you had no other choice you could probably make it work, but I would not. This is a low-volume high pressure compressor; you want high-volume. For your application, a high-volume low-pressure pump world work great (think pool-toy pump). Good luck.

I would think you can,though it might take a long time, and you would need to watch closely for overheating. As for outlet, the compressor won't work without electricity, so you not only can, but must connect.

No, unless you have a great deal of time on hand. This compressor has a very slow recovery rate even when plugged in. I t is not intended for that purpose.

I don't see why an electric compressor wouldn't work, as long as the compressor has a bike attachment nozzle. These are really cool.

NO. only an internal pump is supplied which needs an electrical outlet. In any event, I threw the bed away after three attempts at keeping it inflated and failed each time. Garbage. I guess one gets what they pay for.

The compressor should work fine for blowing out lines. you can set the pressure using the regulator based on your plastic water line ratings. It has quick connect fittings so you can buy an appropriate adapter for your use.

We bought a manual foot operated pump. If you have an air compressor, you should be able to use that as well.

no, u cant. A home air compressor will not work. need HPA to fill it- paintball shops or scuba tanks

no..not powerful enough...really just for inflating and deflating pool toys

Yes you Can. You will need an air compressor and lots of air hose,however it will do the job

Were you able to top it off with a foot pump or another battery operated one? I like the auto feature but sometimes electricty is not available. It looks like with the pull plug that you can manually inflate if you have to. Is this the case?

Depends on the power needed, I've used it for an electric heating pad w/o any problems. So I would think it could provide the power for an air pump.

I turned my vacuum hose around to blow the air into the pool or you might have to buy a small electric air pump they sell them on Amazon.

Absolutely ... and quickly. I blew up all of my pool toys in about 15 minutes. (Although I've also seen that for larger items ... a huge pool, maybe? ... a shop vac also works.) But this is the best inflator I've found. The battery operated version didn't feel like it had much oomph ... though it still is better than using my lungs.

You should probably use a 20 amp circuit. The cord on the compressor is not very long so get an extension cord that will reach the distance you need to cover. Remember, the longer the cord, the heavier gauge it needs to be to do the job correctly

The maximum start up amps would be 15 - according to the plug. Although it probably uses only 8 amps. When the compressor is running about 3-4 amps according to our electrician.

I would suspect so: inflating pool-type toys and air mattresses is what this pump was primarily designed to do. I will qualify that with the fact I don't have an air mattress.

I used a small electric air pump. it works really well. I use it to fill all my inflatable rafts and pool. you can buy it at any store that sells summer rafts and pools. it's so much faster this way. but be careful not to over inflate. hope this helps.

You would need electric for the pump. It has a valve that you can push and it can inflate or deflate itself while plugged in for added comfort. Hope this helps. When camping we usually find electric somewhere, but if you are really remote, maybe plug or adapt it to your car plug in?
