How do you pressurize the balls once placed in the saver? Do you pump it up to pressurize?

The saver creates a pressure inside equal to the pressure of the ball to prevent the ball from "deflating" .

No pumping is required, simply unscrew the lid which has a rubber "O Ring", place the tennis balls in the second section which is white, screw the yellow top down to a line that is designated on the white cylinder and in the process of turning the cylinder down, all air is expelled which increases the air pressure in the cylinder and keeps the balls fresh for much longer than possible in any other way. Far less trips to the store to purchase new tennis balls every 4-5 sets as before.

No, you just start screwing/twisting the yellow half and you feel how the air kinda gets tight.

Hi! I love these and they're easy to use! Hold the bottle part down with one hand firmly over the neck of he bottle, and pull the vacuum part up several times until the a great deal of the air has been sucked out of the bottle. It'll get harder and harder to pump with each pull. To remove, just pull the entire thing off. Hope this helps!

You pump it up until you can't. Then as you use it you pump it as you need the pressure.

You need to squeeze the valve while you blow into it. It is a bit hard to do at first, but does loosen up after you use it a bit. Hope that helps!

I fill it up until it bubbles over, the quickly turn it upside down to dump a bit out. That seems to work pretty well.

You don't need a pump. It blows up with your own breath then you just insert a small plastic tube that's included in the ball where you blew in air and it will keep air trapped in the ball. You can add or take out air this way to make ball as hard or soft as you need. It is very easy to fill.

The directions state that you are supposed to, however, I did not. The ball felt a little soft, not sure if that was the reason why. Also, I think your first workout with the ball is pumping it up by hand! Hope this helps.

Once you're unable to pump it any longer, it should be sealed. If you pull gently, the stopper remain in place if properly sealed.

I have a bike pump and was able to fit the funnel-shaped nozzle into the hose of the bike pump. I think you can buy a little pump online, but I didn't bother since I already had a bike pump. I imagine an air mattress pump might do just as well. BTW I've had the ball for a year now, sit on it every day eight hours a day at work, and have never had to blow it up. Pretty amazing!

They are sent deflated. You think it is going to take a long time with the hand pump. But, in reality it takes about 20 minutes. The directions say to pump it half way up and leave it overnight. Then, finish up the next day (or 8-12 hours) I recommend you follow those instructions. It also recommends that you do not use a compressor (I have had some friends that have used a compressor and I think it weakens the ball). So, take the time and use the hand pump.

We used our air compressor to pump it up. I love this float. This is our second season and it's just like new. We stored it in our pool pump house still aired up over the winter.

I just cup my hand/ fingers and go slowly.....the plastic part on top either opens using the slider or you can take it completely off and load. I tried to use a small funnel I had for my shark steamer but the balls were too large. Good thought, but didn't work. A small funnel could work, but it actually doesn't take too long using your hand, I do it over the sink with the trap in so I don't lose any balls.

I have you used my air compressor and am very careful not to overinflate the pool. The air compressor fills the pool in just a few minutes.

i used my blue pump to finish filling up a 2 1/2' by 1' exercise ball (a peanut ball). I blew air into the exercise ball myself for most of the time. it did a good job of getting the ball to the proper pressure. so that's how I used it and it worked great. so I can't answer your question for sure.

Be sure to only fill halfway. Pump the heck out of it in the beginning. It takes a few times to get the pressure to build. It will never be as fine as an aerosol

You squeeze it. In my opinion, it doesn't work. I returned mine to the store.

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.
