What type of pump is necessary for inflation? How easy is it to set-up?

Very easy, just unpack and place where you want (preferably on a tarp) and we use a battery powered air bed pump.

I have an Intex air pump. It is very easy to use! I wouldn't have a pool this size without it. Also, I tried buying a different brand pool and using my Intex pump and that didn't work. Buying the same brand means they work together.

We used a goot pump to inflate. Didn't take too long, maybe half an hour. Each of the three tiers is inflated separately.

Super easy to set up. Just put a little h2o In bottom and move pool around till h2o settles in middle then you know it's level. As for inflating, I bought an electric pump that has several size caps, then you can inflate pool, floats, etc. don't remember where I got pump, but it was inexpensive.

I rigged my shop vac to the right size 'needle' for the blow holes using a cardboard tube, and it goes up in seconds. Even with all that engineering it is so much faster than those little pumps, and they always break or go so slowly.

It comes with everything to inflate also a patch which you WILL need. I had mine on carpet, never moved and in six months it was leaking--A LOT! Deflated completely in two days. Buy a better one.

I believe a standard tire or electric pump will work. We had no problem inflating and deflating these tubes. We really enjoyed using them too.

Very easy to set up - just attach hose provided to motor and it inflates itself. Very sturdy.

Yes, you really should use a pump. It takes a lot of air and certainly possible to blow it up with breath. Once inflated you can adjust pressure as temp changes using breath.

I used an electric air pump and it took less than a minute, but you can do it with manual pump too. We inflated ours before we went to the party so there was less to do the day of. It doesn't take up that much room if you have an SUV or truck, we just put in on the top of all the coolers and transported it that way.

Pump is electric - cord is about 5 ft. long. The pump blows the air in to inflate the bed, and also reverses to pull the air back out. Inflation is very quick - about 2 minutes. Great bed.

Yes, you need a pump because it does not have a built-in one. I use an electric pump called "Super Electric Pump"--it was inexpensive (got it at a local discount store)--using one that is advertised as ''fast, fast, fast''works a lot better than other ones. It only takes about five minutes to fill the bed plus I use it to fill kids' pool and large beach toys. I usually add a little air every other night to keep it nice & firm

I've used this type here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000WEMMUK/ref=oh_details_o07_s01_i05?ie=UTF8&psc=1 You definitely need an electric pump for the side walls, otherwise you'll be pumping all day. Even with the electric one, it takes almost 30mins to be fully inflated and the pump gets very hot. I usually shut it off half way through and give it a break for a few minutes. The floor doesn't take long at all and is a nice thing to have so you don't feel all the rocks and "unevenness" of the ground. I jimmy-rigged the pump to a spare 12V computer power supply with some 12 gauge electrical wires I had and alligator clamps to make it work. If you have a car nearby, then it's no problem. Otherwise get one of those 120V AC to 12V DC car adapter you can plug in the house, make sure it's rated high enough to power the pump though. Most of the cheaper ones are junk and can barely power 12V lights and what not. Or if you're crafty enough, do as I did. Just make sure you have big enough electrical wires, otherwise they'll get hot and you could cause a fire.

It has the pop out inflation holes that are about 1/2" in diameter. We used an electric pump to inflate it but it has a tapered adapter to fit in those holes.

It looks just like the one I have. In the youtube video it looks overinflated. it barely needs any inflation for the most comfort.

It is best to use an air pump. I have a small one that I use for air mattresses and it works great. If you are taking it to a resort or pool, they may inflate it for you. I took mine to the Mandalay Bay and they aired it up for free. Worked great in the lazy river!

We have an Electric Pump available that easily inflates, I have provided the link below: New Intex 66621E Air Inflator With Quick-Fill 12 Volt Rechargeable Electric Pump Carry Handle

you need a fan based electric pump- intex quick fill ac is around 15 dollars and it will work fast and the ones I have have never broken. They are a must for items like these with lots of volume and very little back pressure.

Ours came inflated to the correct pressure. You can pump it up with a standard inflating needle and pump.

Mine is an older model. It has no inflation options. I just press the start button.

Any pump will work to inflate these balls if it has the right adapter ie a smooth or ridged conical adapter of the right size. The larger the pump, the quicker it will inflate as a general rule. Isokinetics sells a larger pump that inflates on both actions of the piston (pushing and pulling) which makes inflation very quick and easy; a smaller one would also do the job, but it would take longer.
