Make sure you remove the plug that came with the deflated ball. Then, the pump should have 2 valves on it - one of them should easily fit into the ball and fit over the tube so you can pump it up. After pumping, remove the valve and replace the plug back into the ball.

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.

Use an air mattress pump or an inflatable boat pump. After fully inflated this devise works great. No need to poke a hole anywhere. There has to be sufficient pressure on the valve in order to open it.

I have been spinning it back and forth for the last 15 minutes and so far I can't get the pump up

Great question...we haven't yet! We filled it up at a gas station. I think there is a way to let air out using those pumps if you overfill...sorry not more helpful!

I don't remember exactly how I got it to open but sometimes if you turn the actually cap that usually triggers the pump to pop up or ssometimes just turning it around clock wise and counter clock wise a few times will get it to open. Just keep playing with it..Hope that helps!

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!

It is like filling an air mattress. The best way to fill is with a shop vac or electric inflator due to size.

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.

I use an old hand pump you can buy anywhere to inflate like an air mattress. That or an air compressor. I have used it 5 weekends now, still going strong. Love it.

The colored notches around the pool have places for inflation. Those are the only areas that inflate the bottom does not. The top inflates from the upper level of color.

I had a plug-in pump, and it was still a pain. I think you need some kind of pump. Are you sure there wasn't one in the box? If not, contact the seller and and ask them to send it.

dedicated air pumps for mattresses and blow up pools such as this one usually comes with adapters. Perhaps try something like this (I can't guarantee it will work but only ones I found)? Custom Accessories 59016 Inflator Adapter (3-Piece Set)

Theirs a button on the pump you press it down. If you want it completely deflated you'll have to apply pressure.

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.

Separate fill ports to inflate it. I did use a air compressor. It is pretty big.
