How do you deflate it? How long does that take?

I use a rechargeable air pump with a switch to deflate . It only takes 2 minutes.

IT is VERY easy to deflate. Pop the plug, lay on it until most air is out. The remaining little bits of air squeeze completely out as you roll it up to store.

You just loosen the cap and start pushing the air out. At the end, you just start and one end and roll the mattress up, pushing any extra air out of the cap (similar to rolling a tube of toothpaste). It only takes a couple of minutes to deflate it and get it folded up so that it fits back in the box.

Not sure what you mean too quickly??? It inflates in adequate time usually takes 10-12 big breaths for me.

You uncap the plastic nozzle and blow a few puffs of air into it. Doesn't take much. In fact the one in the photo would probably be overinflated for me.

The pump is built into the mattress, all you do is open a little hatch and plug it in . It goes up pretty quick and deflates quickly. I'm not say seconds, but 5min at the most for inflating it. I think the pump works better than any other pumps I've bought seperate from other mattresses

The collar has a place on the back where you can fill the collar with air. When you want to deflate it, just pop open the cap to let the air out. It's that simple.

It decompressed quickly I'd say that it took about 6 hours. But the manufacturer says that it takes 48 hours to fully decompress.

There's a button on the pump you press it down. If you want it completely deflated you'll have to apply pressure.

You blow up the pool and then detach. My nephew blows it up with an electric pump, the wet/dry vac-it has a reverse switch or his air compressor, which ever is handy. My nephew deflates it at the end of each day, by reversing the blower and it deflates quickly, wipe it dry and we store it in a plastic bin with all the balls we put in the pool. Both inflating and deflating take very little time. The kids and adults love it! The neighbors are very jealous!

I used a shop vac to get it 95% filled. From there I had to use the hand pump to get it all the way to the 15 PSI. I use the boards every day so I do leave them inflated all the time. Only time I deflate is when I take them to another lake or river. With the hand pump they provide, it takes 160 strokes to completely fill the boards. I did have an issue with the first pump but the company was very quick to replace it. Great customer service.

It took maybe 10 min to deflate. I just unplugged the stoppers and pressed/sat on it. Daughter helped. It folds up pretty nice, about the size of a medium suitcase. Maybe 3x2ft. I takes time to fill up, so if it's going to be a toy you use everyday, leave it out.

They are sent deflated. You think it is going to take a long time with the hand pump. But, in reality it takes about 20 minutes. The directions say to pump it half way up and leave it overnight. Then, finish up the next day (or 8-12 hours) I recommend you follow those instructions. It also recommends that you do not use a compressor (I have had some friends that have used a compressor and I think it weakens the ball). So, take the time and use the hand pump.

I had the same problem too. I used my air compressor and just stuck the end in the hole and stuck a rag around in the hole to clog it. It took me about 30 min. to get the thing inflated,but I finally got it.Hope this helps you out.

No it does not take long to inflate/deflate. The size when deflated is about the size of a large purse. We store ours in an outdoor trunk with our cushions and other inflatables. I will tell you that it is a wonderful product. You can put some cool water in the bottom and just chill out. I have taken many naps in mine.

Buy an air pump that has a deflate option and it is a piece of cake. Deflated it goes in the box it came in. I bought two and my grandkids beat them to death wrestling, running on them and jumping off them for two weeks of daily abuse. Love these floats. Great buy.

We did it by mouth. It's really big but honestly it didn't take too long to blow it up this way, maybe 5 minutes of breath so there is no need to buy something special if you don't have an air pump.

Very simple. Instead of turning button up to inflate, turn button down to deflate and it sucks the air right out! Easy to fold and get back in box if needed!

You can use some kind of hand pump, but I just blow it up by mouth. Beware, there's a one-way valve in the stem - so be sure to pinch the stem while you're blowing it up. I'm 65-years-old and it takes me about 2 minutes to inflate completely. Hope that helps.
