Can this be turned on its side to inflate a balloon with some water in it? Not making water balloons I just need to put enough to float in the pool.

What a great idea! It seems like it would. I haven't tried it but it is a wonderful machine! Way more powerful than I expected!

I can't be sure about the water part, but it can be turned on its side. Wouldn't inflated balloons without water float?

The machine can be turned on on the side. Better use sand or any non conductive material but not water.

The only problem I might see is,, the nozzle is directly on top, it does come out sideways.. So, you might damage the device if water goes inside the nozzle. Call me crazy but, the balloons will float on water without water in them, they're definetly not going to sink. Good luck!

Water and electricity do not mix and have the risk of electrocution. Someone can get seriously hurt or killed.

I'm not sure but I would think you could put a weight or coin in the deflated balloon first then inflate it.

Hi! Inflating balloons with this pump results in balloons that stay on the ground. If you want your balloons to float, you could purchase a Balloon Time Tank that has helium, which causes the balloons to float.

I don't think so. It works in the opposite way, when the float rises sufficiently it turns on the power that activates the sump pump, so I think it is doing the exact opposite of what you want.

you can inflate this with normal air but it will not stand up or float. It has weights that you put on the feet and it will stand up. I don't think that normal air will make it stay upright. Local places in this area charged about 5 bucks to fill it with the hellium.

using the pump only fills the balloons with air.. they will not float in the air. to make balloons float in the air you have to fill them with helium..

Yes this will float on the water if you accidentally drop it in since it has air inside it and the air doesn't easily get out (it will not instantly sink like a rock). However, I did a test on it (seeing your question) and if you leave it in for a while, it will start filling the inside with water and start sinking (I left it for an hour and it was 1/2 filled).

You should be able to turn the spray on or off and at the level you want, and with the hose in the connector or not. Even if you have the hose in the connector, you don't have to have it on to keep the pool inflated. It will stay inflated regardless, I love this pool personally, but like any inflatable pool, you have to re-inflate it in the morning. But it is totally worth the buy if you have small children or will have small children around.

I can sit in mine and put my back against the side lean my head back and drape arms over the top rim wich is filled with air. However it is very easy for a young child to lean on and pour out the water. if my dog puts her paws up on the edge and it will give way...That said I love the pool and purchased the filter motor also, best 40 bucks spent EVER.

I bought this Jump O Lene for my grandchildren. I don't know if you could fill it waterbut I do know that it developed an air leak and now the side rings are deflated.

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

No, there is only a reservoir on one side, so you can easily flip it over to use the other side.

Not if you wanted it to pop on impact. You would need to fill it with so much water you wouldn't be able to throw it. The balloon would weigh to much. And the amount of water you'd need would degrade the structural integrity of the balloon itself. Meaning as soon as you did throw it the balloon would explode before it left your hands. But a 300lbs water balloon would be epic. :-)

yes you can do water on both sides our granddaughter loves it has it for over a year now. We don't do sand she just plays in the water. Fills a water can and waters plants so cute.

The pump is pretty powerful. Don't know if I'd use it on balloons. We used it to inflate toys for the pool.

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.

I don't think it is suppose to inflate unless it get submerged. Since I received mine we have not had a search and rescue/recovery in any type of weather so I have not worn mine yet.

The pump is meant for inflatable rafts, etc., so I would think that it might work for inflatable pools. It works beautifully for inflating air mattresses. I don't know about balloons. Maybe you could make some sort of adapter for it. The pump pushes air into the item being inflated on both the DOWN and UP strokes. Very efficient.
