how do you blow the pool up

I bought a electric air pump you can find them at auto departments in most large stores.

You blow up the dark blue top rim like a donut inner tube. I used an air compressor specifically made to blow up pool toys. Then as you add water to the inside pool area, the inflated ring keeps the sides up.

I just blew into it with my mouth. You only have to inflate the upper ring, so it doesn't take all that long.

You can one of two things! What I did was, blew up the our ring with my mouth! Only because I forgot my air pump. But you can use a air pump from a air mattress, and use the larger adaptor for the ring, I hope this helped. I use this pool as a baptismal and it works quit well for me.

I purchased an inexpensive pump that you plug in. Otherwise.....you will probably pass out trying to blow it up yourself!

It doesn't come with a pump but there is a piece that you can manually blow it up like a ballon.

You could check a pool center, or as suggested inflatable ball, or we also use a regular bouncy ball [kids/adults have better control, and wind doesn't blow it away

It does not come with a pump. I didn't own a pump, so I used a leaf blower (haha, right?) but it blew it up within a couple minutes. I think this pool is worth buying.

Yes you do to blow it up. there is an on/off switch on the pump you have to turn it on to deflate it all the way too

Hi, on the side there is air piece that you pull out like on a inflatable raft or a beach ball. I used an air compressor as it will take a very long time to blow it up by mouth.

We used a portable battery powered pump...you can blow it up manually but it is large.

You have to blow it up like a pool toy. But we bought 1 and returned it wouldnt stay inflated. They sent a 2nd one same problem . Cost more in return shipping we just gave up.

I have never used it for that but my son used this to blow up a rather large kids swimming pool and he said it worked very well. Hope this helps!

Absolutely ... and quickly. I blew up all of my pool toys in about 15 minutes. (Although I've also seen that for larger items ... a huge pool, maybe? ... a shop vac also works.) But this is the best inflator I've found. The battery operated version didn't feel like it had much oomph ... though it still is better than using my lungs.

I would use a pump to blow it up, otherwise it will take forever. However, I would not recommend this product. Ours did not hold air and had to be blown up consistently.

Blow it up/fill it with Air and then waive it in the air to signal the dive boat to pick you up.

I bought a pump at Target used to blow up basketballs, etc. There is what I would call a stop valve at the end of the valve so make sure whatever pump you use, pushes past that stop valve or no air will go into the wedge. Hope this helps you !

Actually...I think we took turns at manually blowing it up. We didn't have a pump. Totally worth it though....my granddaughter had a blast!

Well, believe it I do blow into them to inflate. It takes a bit of air, but so far I have been able to successfully inflate the tubes. I suppose you could use a small air compressor, but I just stand in the pool and take my time. Have Fun !

Hello Lisa, I don't how much help this will be, since I don't have a "blow up" pool. However, I do have a running water feature and the Mosquito Dunks help only a little; this might be because I have to turn off the pump from time to time because of algae issue I have. :-(
