Hi, which air pump are you guys using for this island? Thanks!

I have two electric pumps that I use to fill the raft. My boat has both AC/DC power so it is easy for me. Not sure what I would use if trying to do this with a non-powered pump.

I used an electric air pump because it took too long to use a bicycle pump! The tubes are great quality especially for the price!!!!

I would recommend contacting them directly. They were fantastic about replacing my air pump. It's likely they will have replacement fins ready to ship. There should also be a nut and bolt included in your current set up. I'd request another just to have a back up.

No air pump included. You probably don't really need one, though, since the included hang-on-back filter causes plenty of surface agitation to aerate the water.

No air pump built in . I use a ex large air stone sm pump . Nice unit clones in 7-10 days. Nice compact unit

This is a very big raft that takes a lot of air. You will need a high volume low pressure air pump. I bought the VMK air pump from Amazon. It plugs into the outlet in my truck and fills the raft relatively quickly.

I use the Intex 12 Volt D/C Electric Pump(ASIN: B000HBMFU0) listed here on Amazon for $12.49 with free shipping. Also use the Intex 120V AC Quickfill Pump(ASIN: B0055QFVFI) listed on Amazon for $15.78 and free shipping, I bought two so if one stopped working or if I was in hurry to air up my Intex River Run tubes I could do so within 10 -20 minutes or less and not spend hour or more airing up several tubes each time. I have had no problems with either air pump, both work really well and fast plus they are very durable. I am very pleased and happy with their performance, and have used them both a lot since summer of 2011 and still in use this summer going strong.

Anything that blows air, even a hair dryer. I've been camping in below-freezing weather for several days so I used the built in pump when it deflated a bit. Works great and would find carting around an extra pump a wast of time, space, and energy.

Hi there - we already had an exercise ball pump and that is what we used. I believe it is this one: 2 way action Hand AIR PUMP For Pool Floats, Exercise Balls, Rody or Hippity Hop bouncer hopper balls

I use a battery-powered air pump to inflate mine. (It can also be used to deflate it.) It uses 4 "D" batteries. Bought it on Amazon, but I noticed that the one I bought isn't available anymore. Just do a search for "battery powered air pump" and you'll probably find something similar. Just make sure that the one you get has different size nozzles so that you can use it with other inflatable devices.

I can air up my big mable in about 5 minutes, so a big island wouldn't take more than 15 minutes, I would think. This pump is very powerful, it will torque when you turn it on. Yes, it's loud, just wear ear plugs if you must. I love this pump. It makes airing up inflatables very easy. Worth every penny. Erick

I purchased a Coleman 120v Electric Quickpump, it was $20 at Menards. You can also find them in sporting goods stores and maybe Walmart. They are great for inflating airbeds, water floating toys, and work good for these pools. I have purchased a battery operated one but don't recommend as the air flow is not as strong, plug in ones are best.

I believe the recommendation was any pump that wasn't motorized. Sadly, the boat I received deflated too quickly and I returned it. Loved the look of the boat - and I may try another one next season.

any type of air pump will work but depending on what size skimmer you are getting you will need to deal with the water pressure, so i would recommend a decently strong air pump, some people suggest using 2 air pumps but i only have a Tetra whisper for 40 gal and it works fine.

I used an air mattress pump I already had because it inflates really fast. It worked on this and blew it up in less than a minute. Pretty much any standard pump should work.
