Can you use any hand pump or does it requires a specific type?

A hand pump will work as long as it has a nozzle that tapers to about 3/8". However, these take a LOT of air, so small hand pumps will take a LONG time to fill it. We recommend a high volume air pump, like our Exercise Ball Air Pump (which can be used to fill any large inflatables, as well).

Yes, any pump that has that little 'pointed' end to fit into the plug (which u pull up). Great product. I don't use a bicycle pump but a little electric pump, but if your bicycle pump has a pointed tip to fit into the pull out plug would work. Enjoy.

The pump that came with this thing is awful, I ordered a regular standard hand air pump, you pull that little white plug out of the ball completely, and insert the pump into the hole, when you're done, just pop the plug back in.

i would buy a colman brand electric pump.. any sporting goods store, or right here at Amazon..i wouldn't suggest using the hand pump that is included in the box unless you have alot of time.

I will be honest, I don't remember as I purchased it over 2 years ago!It probably had a pump with it or usually any hand pump works.. The good news is, we still have it, use it and haven't had to repump it!!And we still love it!!

Any pump should work... but let me just say mine ended up coming apart after the first season of use

I think you would have trouble putting a hand pump in this thing. Look at Planet Bike's Red Zeppelin CO2 inflator for $15.99 on Amazon. These are compact and work great.

Yes you do. I use a Tetrapond DHP4200 Debris Handling Pump. Don't use a pump stronger then that.

Yes, you will need to purchase a pump but a universal pump with different adapters will work and it doesn't take very long.

Pumpin' Pals will work with pretty much ANY pump kit. If the flanges are removable then that's easy. If they aren't, you basically cram the flanges inside the existing ones. It looks weird, but it will work. Also, Pumpin' Pals come with three different sizes, what they call Medium, Large, and X-Large. MOST women will use a medium or large. I'm an RN and breastfeeding educator and I've met maybe one or two women in my 10+ year career that needed the X-Large.

You can use almost any hand soap. I normally get the EQUATE CLEAR HAND SOAP from Walmart which works extremely well with the Simplehuman Sensor Pump and it only cost around $4.00-4.50 for a 56 Fl Oz bottle.

I have used both a hand sprayer and a small pump sprayer. It just depends on how much you have to do or if you just get tired of squeezing the hand type

Yes. There are three different types. You can use any type to meet your needs.

double electric, single hand pump, you will need both depending on the situation

I think there is some confusion in the previous 2 answers - they must have been thinking of a different product (the quart bags). According to the reviews, these do NOT work with the hand pump. Based on the picture this looks correct, because these bags do not have the hole that the pump connects to. You can see the difference if you compare the picture of these with the picture of the quart-sized vacuum bags.

I have a small pancake air compressor that works fine so haven't tried the hand pump. You might try one of the little car tire air compressors that plug into the cigarette lighter
