So purchased the balloon pump. BUT it doesn't double pump out in both directions. Can I fix it? I hate to send it back.

The dual action pumps will expel air on both 'in' and 'out' strokes.If it does not, it is simply not that type (and shouldn't be advertised as such).

it's not broken, i don't understand why you would think it would add air upon pulling and pushing.. 1 way pushes the air in. then a checkvalve seals it so it doesn't suck the air out of the balloon whlie it fills the pump back with air when u pull it... it's basic physics. pushing creates pressure, which pushes air into the ballon, pulling creates a void/vacuum which sucks air into the pump to refill it. it takes like 2 seconds to fill a ballon regardless do i can't comprehend your malfunction.

I had no difficulty with mine. You want to moisten the opening in which you insert the pump with Vaseline and when you insert it straight on their is a puncture like then you start pumping. If this doesn't help your pump may be bad. Good luck

We had to use another pump because the one on the bed was not good. Used another good external pump. Beds are great though.

I also had difficulty using my mouth. I used the pump I use for my inflatables and the tube only blows up half-way and sinks in spots. I have to think it's the way the tube is made. I had another brand and it blew up just fine.

The air function to inflate things has never worked. When I tried to return it they said that it was too late. It now sits in my garage and doesn't work.

I just noticed that you have the double pull out. I only have a single. Make sure that they aren't wider at the top before replacing both.

It's fumy that exactly what I wanted to do with my pump. My pump was shipped to me defective. I was never able to make the pump work right. I'm sure it can.

I know that when I first got my fountain I had the same issue, but I kept working with the pump dial I finally got it adjusted. Make sure that the dial is going all the way and not getting stuck. I was not turning the dial all the way to where I wanted my fountain. Hope that this helps you

Mine was a little tricky too but I just unscrewed the whole top and when I put it back I tried twisting the pump around again and it popped up and started working! I really didn't do anything special though.

Yes this is too big. And the pump is 100% useless so you will have to spend money on another pump as well. I suggest something else definitely if you want something smaller. I wanted to return this but just have not had the time. I had a smaller one and it was much better.

There should be a dial on the pump itself. If not, put a kink in the return hose.

I have had a problem on a few occasions where I couldn't fill it. I just took the pump off and put it back on again while pushing down harder. It worked then. Hope that helps. I have only used a small hand pump too.

The pump you have is broken. The same thing happened to me the second time I tried to use my pump (it was after my brother-in-law was messing around with the pump so I guess they are delicate). However, I had purchased two balance discs (one for each foot) and each came with its own pump. I used the second pump and it inflated fine. Get another pump (perhaps at a sporting goods store or Amazon) and you should be fine. In the mean time you can take the pump needle to a bike store or service station and see if they will fill your disc for you. Your local gym teacher also has a pump that will work.

I had the same problem and what I was told was that it is broken. I had 2 different people look at it. By the time I got a 2nd opinion is was to late to send back. So my suggestion is if its not working send it back immediately

I could not get it to pump anything. it would be best for you to get another pump.

You need to turn the bottle upside down and then pump; otherwise, it will not work. I looked up how to use the product on YouTube prior to using it because I thought my pump was broken as well.
