Can you use an electric pump on these tubes/ what type of blow up valve do these have?

I haven't done it, but I am pretty confident you can use an air mattress pump or something similar. However they are really easy to blow up, easier than it looks, not a lot of air. They are a great buy, super cheap fun!

They have a large Schrader type value and yes we use an electric blow up pump. Most pumps come with several tips and one should work fine.

Not an electric pump. The pump is built into the bed. All you have to do is step on it and it fills itself with air.

We used a pump. I would NOT recommend trying to blow it up by mouth as it would take forever. Not sure what kind of pump though, but I am guessing most would work.

I actually got mine at a children's exchange sale and luckily it was already blown up. Because you do have to blow it up through your mouth but I'm sure a small air pump valve would work too.

I've used this type here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000WEMMUK/ref=oh_details_o07_s01_i05?ie=UTF8&psc=1 You definitely need an electric pump for the side walls, otherwise you'll be pumping all day. Even with the electric one, it takes almost 30mins to be fully inflated and the pump gets very hot. I usually shut it off half way through and give it a break for a few minutes. The floor doesn't take long at all and is a nice thing to have so you don't feel all the rocks and "unevenness" of the ground. I jimmy-rigged the pump to a spare 12V computer power supply with some 12 gauge electrical wires I had and alligator clamps to make it work. If you have a car nearby, then it's no problem. Otherwise get one of those 120V AC to 12V DC car adapter you can plug in the house, make sure it's rated high enough to power the pump though. Most of the cheaper ones are junk and can barely power 12V lights and what not. Or if you're crafty enough, do as I did. Just make sure you have big enough electrical wires, otherwise they'll get hot and you could cause a fire.

you will need a pump. I just blew mine up like a balloon, its not that big so it was easy to do. Also, you don't want to fill it to full or it won't have any movement.

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.

The inner tubes come with the standard size blow up nozzles, so an inflation blower with the small nozzle definitely helps

I bought an electric pump to pump it up, but with enough time and lung power the one-way valve would allow you to blow it up manually. It does not have a tire valve for attaching a tire pump.

Yes it has a blow up tube. The blow up tube can also be used to check for leakage before the first use and periodically thereafter. It also has two different screw in pieces to change configuration from manual to automatic modes. Instructions are included that make it very simple to setup.

We use an air compressor. An electric pump (like the ones in the aero beds) would probably work too.

Yes, i use an electric air pump that I use to fill anyhting from air matress, boating tubes and pool floats

yes you can , but this pump is too big for that kind of job . i think you are better off with an electric submerge one.

No, just use a ball pump. That's what I used. Much faster than blowing it up

I have a 12v air pump that I use. When you blow it up by mouth, you have to make sure the stem is constantly pinched so that the internal safety valve stays open while filling it. I, personally, would NOT want to fill it by mouth, unless I had a strong set of lungs! I hope this helps! On a side note. We bought 4 of these. One of them came with a small leak which the company replaced for me. Since then we have had them on the lake, and we went tubing down a river also. They have worked really well for us. Good luck!

I bought the iSpring system that included an electric pump. There are similar pumps available on Amazon, Ebay etc.

we have an air mattress electric pump, but if you prefer you can blow it up like a float for the pool, the old fashion way with your own air.
