To what psi should the ball be inflated? I realize it's set up for diameter and circumference, but how much "give" should the ball have?

I make it hard so it is difficult to balance on when I lift weights. That being said if you are using it to lift weights or crunches having it slightly soft is safer and more effective until you get more practiced. I USE THE BALL SIX DAYS A WEEK AND HAVE FOUND IT TO BE A WONDERFUL AID. It has done wonders for my balance made my crunches far more effective. It should take about two weeks of 6 day a week use for your comfort zone to begin to start, enjoy.

You should return it. If a ball arrives soft there typically is a very slight leak and will always be going flat. They leave the factory hard. Mine took a few weeks toose air so we were stuck with it. To answer your direct question: you need s basketball pin sold at any sports store for $1 then fill it like a tire.

To be honest. I have had this ball for about 6 months now and I haven't had to pump it up since I did it the very first time. Air leakage is not a problem.

Not too bad. Says to inflate 11 to 13 psi but I am 5 8" 150 and havent gotten much over 9 which has been fine so far. Have had 2 people total weight 250lbs on it and its hard as can be. No complaints at all. Everyone is amazed its an inflatable.

As I recall - and it's been awhile since I purchased it - the ball was partially/mostly inflated. I'm virtually certain it wasn't flat. You'll need to pump in some air from time to time to keep it up to snuff.

This ball is 30" in diameter when fully inflated. You may inflate it to any diameter up to that size by simply putting in less air. That way it is adjustable to your liking. Thanks for asking!

I gave this ball to my grandson. I think we inflated it to about 10 inches in diameter. It doesn't matter--he loves this ball! We all do. It's soft and easy to grab. I'm planning to get more of these fun balls for him and my newest grandson for Christmas.

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.

I usually let it set for 2 hrs at 130*. The best thing to do is put a timer in the outlet and then plug in the machine and set it for 2 hrs. The reason..... Many times did I forget I had a ball drying..... Luckily no damage to the ball after 4 hrs.....lol.

You will see on the instructions the "why" -- it doesn't fully inflate the first time -- you are just inflating it to a firm touch -- and you will wonder "why so small"? On the second time -- next day it will inflate much more -- and then needs one final step. There is a hand pump that comes with these exercise balls that you can use on the final time if you prefer.

I weigh 120 and it popped on me, they are going to make a 5000 pound ball, they sent me one to replace mine. I don't know if they have them for sale yet, you might want to contact the company. Also I have a play ball that I have had for 20 plus years, you might like it better, made by Sport Fun, or at least that's the name of it. They used to make 3 sizes, I used it to bounce my daughter, and now my grandson to sleep several times a day, it has held up beautifully. I know it holds 300 lbs bouncing.. I can tell you the new black mountain ball is much sturdier than the old one, and far thicker material. Hope this helps.

If it is not in with the hand pump, then I guess they short changed you. You'll have to buy one, or go to a gym that has them and see if they won't just give you an extra one mine came with 2. I don't know what kind of ball gpsarros has but there is definitely a plug that has to be put in to keep inflated.

I have an 18 lb ball from a different brand & it is around 1- 1/2 times the size of my 8 lb Valeo ball. I'd say add an inch to the circumference for a couple more pounds added. I hope this helps. I do like the Valeo brand over all others. Very nice grip.

As a matter of fact, I purchased this originally as a ball pit for my son. 200 balls fills it up about half way. 300 may be a little more than what you need, but it should fill it up near the top if you do. I didn't go higher than 200 because of the nature of what kids will do in it, displacement is inevitable.

basketball should be ok footballs need to go up to 13-14 psi, and it's possible to push down that hard, I wouldn't try it's just plastic, better suited for pressures 10psi or under

It is recommended to inflate with a foot pump or an air compressor. Recommended working pressure is 2.5 psi (0.17 bar). Please see owner's manual for additional inflation instructions.

You need a 26 x 1.95 but a lot of tubes run 26 x 1.75-2.2 or something like that as long as the goes to 1.95 your fine, I got the slime tube at the same time I got the from amazon. The max psi is 65psi, that's what is stamped on the tire and the min is 40psi. I rode them on 40psi and they where fine and I filled them to 65psi and they where even better. If you get the slime tubes fill them a little bit until they are rounded before you put them on to help prevent pinching and then fill them with the valve opposite the ground and adjust the psi the same way to prevent the slime from blocking the valve and oozing out.
