Do you need some sort of pump to fill this with air? I noticed that the pool comes with a filter pump but does not mention anything about an air pump. Is that needed?

This bounce house does not come with a pump. I used an air compressor--seems the valve is a pretty standard size. You could probably use a foot pump, but you may die of exhaustion before it's filled! Happy pumping!

One year we had a pump. It was completely useless and brings the price of what I think of a "disposable" pool way up. This summer we got the one without the pump. It's the same deal. We keep it covered, add chlorine every day, and use a skimmer. We empty it and refill it every week or two. It has stayed pretty clean so far and it gets used on a regular basis. Our dog even likes to play in it. Hope this was helpful. :-D

We used an air compressor also. It is a pretty big float for a manual pump but one would work. as said by others, your pump would need a pointed end. This is our second season and just filled a couple days ago. Great for keeping you above water while it's still a little brisk.

My pool is in ground. I think the description may be a typo. I doubt any above ground pool would include such a sophisticated filtering system.

hi...yes, an air pump is included...it is manual, and takes less than 15 minutes to air the boat and seats. Hope this helps. Paul

No, it does not require a pump, it comes inflated but it won't likely stay inflated long! I bought 2 and both went flat in less than a week and there is no way to re-inflate them.

No filter.It is just an aquarium pump for air.Just keep it above the level of the water.My repair worked and it is working well.My cat uses it all the time.

I've also purchased this pump for our inflatable pool (without ports). Two questions - (1) Did you still connect the Pool inlet nozzle and the strainer grid to the ends of the hoses, and if so what did you use to pad the hoses with to make it a tight connection? The hoses are meant to fit onto the ports and not directly to these pieces so there is a size difference. And (2) - did you use something to weight the ends down that go into the pool? Or does the weight of the water inside them hold them under the surface. Thanks in advance! We're hoping that this will work to clean the water so that we don't have to empty and refill the pool every week during the summer. We are also using the chlorine granules (1/2 oz) to chlorinate the water.

It does not include a pump. We used one we already had for an air mattress.

This product weighs under 5 pounds, and you do not need an air pump. My hubby and I used this floatie at the pool all summer without refilling the bladders. It even held my neighbor's weight and (shhh) he's over 200 pounds:) I love this floatie!

No it does not come with a pump. I use my air compressor in my shop. It takes a lot of air to fill it! But, I have only had to inflate once since I've had it. (Last year) The kids love it and it's very sturdy. Well worth the money.

Yes it comes with the required filter...so it's ready to use. Some would recommend buying a 2nd filter at a pool supply so while one is being soaked and cleaned in detergent, you have a second filter to keep the pump running. It's nice to have a back up.

I used an air pump but that pool wasn't worth the money it popped within 15 minutes. Send it back and invest more for the plastic pools either the paw or for larger dogs the bone.

Thank you for your question. A bicycle pump could work provided there's a company that makes an adaptor that connects the pump to the pool (there must be an airtight connection) I always recommend using an electric or battery operated air pump. It's very quick and easy to use. Good Luck!

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!

No air pump. Fills up nicely with a foot pump. But the plug-in air pump I use for my air mattress works very fast
