So should I not have to pump the ball at all? I used this: http://www.amazon.com/Franklin-Ball-M...

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.

No, I couldn't pump car tire or fitness balls. I have a manual pump I use for that. I primarily use the Intex for inflating air mattresses.

Just dribble the ball.. I looked up ways to do it an they say it takes months or weeks to do but Ive had mine for awhile and it's fine. But I do recommend playing indoors so you don't scuff ithe ball

I got a packet with the adapter to fill the ball and there were instructions stapled in the packet. It was a gift for someone, so I didn't actually fill the ball, but was told everything worked fine. Maybe you didn't receive the packet? Mine was rolled up in the ball. Hope this helps.

Hello! The ball on our Reflex Bag is inflatable. We provide an air pump that is included in the package. There is a hole at the top where you pump the air, much like a traditional Basketball. We do not use a "rigid non-inflatable" ball"! For more information, please check out our website at http://www.eeMore.com. There, you can find more information about our product as well as some videos submitted by some of our users! If you have any other issues or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us! Thank you again for your continued interest!

Actually...I think we took turns at manually blowing it up. We didn't have a pump. Totally worth it though....my granddaughter had a blast!

No, it does not require a pump, it comes inflated but it won't likely stay inflated long! I bought 2 and both went flat in less than a week and there is no way to re-inflate them.

I'm not sure how you are supposed to pump it up. I happened to have something like "Classic Accessories Inflatable Boat/Tube Hand Pump" (if you search on Amazon) from something I had before. Definitely wouldn't want to to try to blow up with my mouth. Best of luck.

The ball should have come with a needle for inflation. You will need an air pump to fill the ball. Only fill the ball slightly. When you pull the needle out, it should self seal.if not send it back for s new one. .

Absolutely not necessary to bother with a pump....it IS very easy/quick to just blow it up with your own lung power.

If you use an electric inflator for air mattresses it will only inflate so far. Those types of inflators don't have enough force. The instructions say not to use a commercial air system such as an air compressor because they are too strong. According to the instructions one should use a foot or hand operated, manual pump to completly inflate the ball. I used an air mattress pump to the point it stopped adding additional air and then completed the process with a $3.00 foot pump. It worked beautifully and completely filled the bladder to the outer cover. Hope this helps. Our youth love it!!!

Yes, you need a pump because it does not have a built-in one. I use an electric pump called "Super Electric Pump"--it was inexpensive (got it at a local discount store)--using one that is advertised as ''fast, fast, fast''works a lot better than other ones. It only takes about five minutes to fill the bed plus I use it to fill kids' pool and large beach toys. I usually add a little air every other night to keep it nice & firm

You really don't need the pump they recommend. I returned mine. I just manually took deep breaths and filled it up. There is a valve that has to be pinched, thus the pump is hard to manager unless you have an extra pair of hands to pinch the valve and use the pump. I did not have the needle adaptor on hand but as I am going to travel soon, will bring along my battery operated pump and will then try both battery operated pump and needle adaptor. But looking at the valve, it seems that a needle adaptor ,used for inflating footballs ,is not the cause. It is the combination of valve pinching ip and pump mechanics.

Don't know. There was a small manual pump that was available for free when I purchased the toy. It didn't appear that it would be sufficient, but my 12-year-old grandson had both pumped in minutes. Worked nicely.

a little pump comes with it and by hand or foot you pump it up till firm...and you stick the plug that is removable back in it....very easy, completely user friendly....I've used my ball for years and rarely need to add air....it's the most fun exercise at home you can find!

You have to blow it up which I did without a pump. It's easy to blow up and the ball is soft.

The ball actually does not require a stopped to keep the air in; it requires a boost of air after continued use but no more than I need to for my swiss ball which has a stopper.
