How do I inflate the pool?

I purchased an inexpensive pump that you plug in. Otherwise.....you will probably pass out trying to blow it up yourself!

Air pump. Does an excellent job. Real quick. You can get them for cheap on amazon

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!!!

we used a hair dryer once, and we used a inflatable air mattress pump. You can also use your lungs.

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

I used a generic footpump that also works with my inflatable mattress. If the adapter fits the inlet an electric pump will work (and be much faster) but be very careful to keep an eye on the firmness. Over-inflating the sections of the pool may cause it to rupture.

It is an inflatable pool so no, you could not. Pool was nice, bought for my grand kids. The customer service was not. I could not fit mine in the space I wanted to and tried to return it. No go. I gave it away to a family with small children.

The float is light. Yes, I would recommend an air pump to inflate. It is a bit much to inflate manually for me.

There is a little button right next to the rubber pump for deflation. hold the button down, and roll up the bag

So I was in exactly the same situation, how to inflate ! I used a pump like you use for swimming tubes for kids, bikes etc, it worked perfectly. I bought at Target. Hope this helps.

Actually, mine was already inflated enough for my daughter to sit on and have it wiggle. But you insert the pump with the metal tip and it should inflate.

I used an electric pump and it still took several minutes. There are two places to inflate

You have to blow it up like a pool toy. But we bought 1 and returned it wouldnt stay inflated. They sent a 2nd one same problem . Cost more in return shipping we just gave up.

We used our own air,and it did not take long at all. You can use a bike pump if you have one, or inflatable mattress. Grandson loves his, even uses it as pool.

You can use some kind of hand pump, but I just blow it up by mouth. Beware, there's a one-way valve in the stem - so be sure to pinch the stem while you're blowing it up. I'm 65-years-old and it takes me about 2 minutes to inflate completely. Hope that helps.

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.

You have to squeeze the tube to open the valve while inflating. Read the instruction card.

As soon as you finish inflating to desired firmness, immediately push in the valve so it's flush with the raft material: it will not leak air after you do this. Then place the valve plug into the valve.

Since the question I have received sounds like the first part of the question is missing. I will respond this way. You will need to have a pump to inflate and maintain the inflation of your ball. The one you shared as being the one you used looks more than fine for the task.

Loosen the valve and do nothing else. It will self-inflate. If you want it to be even fuller, you can blow into the opened valve. When it inflated to your liking, close the valve. To deflate, open the valve and roll it up tightly. Then close the valve to keep it deflated. I carry mine in my purse rolled up and deflated. It takes up little room this way.

easiest way is to just connect a bike pump hose - not the pump - just the hose and it will deflate slowly - leave in an aerated place because they inside air smells bad - you may have to sit on it to help deflation
