I bought this product and it came with no instructions. A air pump doesn't fit to blow it or, nor does a bicycle pump. Any ideas on what to do?

I used an air pump with a plastic insert (not the tall skinny metal thing you would use to pump a basket ball). The connector you need is thicker and usually made of plastic.

Hi there - we already had an exercise ball pump and that is what we used. I believe it is this one: http://www.amazon.com/action-Floats-Exercise-Hippity-bouncer/dp/B00147OVDA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1394571535&sr=8-2&keywords=exercise+ball+pump

We used an air compressor with an Air Blow Gun nozzle (http://www.amazon.com/IIT-10010-Piece-Air-Blow/dp/B004GHKASA/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&q;id=1394589490&sr;=8-5&keywords;=air+blow+gun+nozzle). FYI, the nozzle will also attach to most bicycle pumps. We have also used a hand pump from an exercise ball (http://www.amazon.com/action-Floats-Exercise-Hippity-bouncer/dp/B00147OVDA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid;=1394589622&sr;=8-3&keywor;ds=exercise+ball+hand+pump) to top it off occasionally.

I had the same problem until I read the instructions again. You have to soak the bubble wall section in water for 15 minutes or so before turning on the air pump for the bubbles. This lets the material swell up enough for air to escape.

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.

We used an air compressor. I was killing myself trying to blow it up manually-- almost impossible!!

I also wanted to add that if you plan to blow it up without a pump it can be a pain. I kept it blown up, but if you don't plan to then I would get a cheap pump so it's easier to deflate/inflate.Also, the temp reading is not accurate so I wouldn't go by that which again to me is not a big deal.

you can use a bicycle pump or just use your mouth. It is very easy to do. Hope this helps you!

For me I just use a little battery operated pump , air it up till it feels moderately tight then go for it. Just a word of advice....be mindful that on a hot day they will get too tight and you should beach land it a relieve a little pressure. on a cold day I had it all pumped up, threw it on the trailer and headed to the lake, when I got there it was deflated considerably due to the cold. I pumped it up and away it goes. Its a awesome rig. Get U 1, FISH ON!

Try a bicycle pump or an air compressor. My grandsons have enjoyed this ball pit! Had to buy a new one because of a leak!

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.

I haven't thought about that yet, since it's only my first year in August. My guess is take it outside and blow it off with a compressor or if you don't have one; take it to the nearest gas station where they fill up air for tires and blow it off

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!

We used the pump sold in combination with this mattress. I imagine the effort taken to inflate it by mouth!!! I would not try it again. I don't know if a bike air pump would fit because I don't have one. You can try and see what happens. Let us know. Good luck!

I have the same issue. I can put air into my bicycle's tire. However, much air escapes when I unscrew the connector. My manual also says the adapters included are not for tires. It is really bad that the picture here shows that it is for auto tires, but they do not include adapters for auto or bicycles.

No. We already had an air compressor which we used to pump it up. I wouldn't necessarily recommend trying to blow it up yourself unless you are extremely patient. It can be done (I did it part way once), but took a while. A bike pump would probably work also.

Hi... i used a regular pump like the one you use for bicycles. Just be mindful of the air pressure limits.Enjoy!

I had the same problem too. I used my air compressor and just stuck the end in the hole and stuck a rag around in the hole to clog it. It took me about 30 min. to get the thing inflated,but I finally got it.Hope this helps you out.

Mine didn't come with instructions either. I went on YouTube and looked up some videos. It helped a whole lot.
