How do you keep air from leaking out? There's nothing to plug it close after air is pumped in!

There should have been a tiny white/transparent plug that came in the box that you use to plug the hole. I would double check to see if you can find that - otherwise the product is going to be useless

To be honest. I have had this ball for about 6 months now and I haven't had to pump it up since I did it the very first time. Air leakage is not a problem.

Sounds like you're not closing it all the way, you should hear a snap when it's closed all the way. I have 3 & none of them leak, they've been great!

I use air from an air compressor. Just blow from every direction. This will get most of the junk out.

Take the cover off the intake side of the pump. That is where the water flows into the pump and then gets pushed out through the outlet connector.

Get a spray bottle with a little soap and water and inflate mattress fully. Listen for air leaking and verify by spraying soapy water. Get a tire tube patch or vinyl repair kit with glue like they sell at Walmart and cut piece of vinyl large enough to cover hole and glue patch over to repair leak. Problem solved!!

I have never had that problem. The unit is like an inner tube to a tire, but there is no place with a cap to remove and pump in air. I would say it had sprung a leak and needs to be pumped with air and patched at the site of the leak. I would contact the seller.

Apparently air got in pump. Had to constantly shut off and purge system. Again this was with unit ten years ago. Eventually trashed unit didn't try to fix it.

You may want to consider using an aquarium air check valve (-- search on "aquarium check valve" for examples). This will allow air to be pumped into the tank, yet prevent water from flowing back to the air pump in the event of a power failure or whatever. The pump could then be hidden anywhere outside of the tank.

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

I just kept plugging away in segments. It holds air really well. So, I would pump, do something else, go back and pump, etc. Hope this helps.

Once done blowing up close the flap and push it in so its flush. If air is leaking there may be a break in a seam I think mine are fine but defects cab happen. Hope this helps.

"Do you have to do something special for the gauge to work?"Yep. You do have to do something special. Return the pump. I'm assuming that air is actually getting into the tube?

Try sucking the air our before you close it that way it's a tight fit and if that dosent work try adding some foam around it.

Maybe the basement is too closed. there .should be some air leak although it's vent free. Try to make some small opening in the basement. If this doesn't work, replace the unit.

No, I don't think so. The air is not leaking unless you push the release button.

A) Does your unit push air out when not connected to anything? If so, it sounds like a problem with your hose or something else on the unit. If not it has to be after the pump. Either the tire or the connection are at fault. B) Try pushing the metal pin in the valve stem to release pressure. If nothing happens you are either out of air or it's broken. It should flow air with little to no movement. C) If that worked it has to be the connection. Maybe they don't align anymore and can be bent, or maybe you have to buy a better adapter. I'd get something like this(http://amzn.com/B001CJHU9W).

Sounds like something is caught inside it. Try blowing it out from both directions with compressed air.
