What pump should be used to inflate. Will an electric put in enough pressure or does it require hand pump? Recommendations?

We used small electric pump. Hand pump like you use for air bed will work too. Inflates quickly so be careful not to over-inflate.

It is recommended to inflate with a foot pump or an air compressor. Recommended working pressure is 2.5 psi (0.17 bar). Please see owner's manual for additional inflation instructions.

Yes it needs a pump to inflate but a simple hand pump that works well comes with the ROHO

You will need electric an electric pump but I recommend you do not and just return the item... it will just bust in a week or two.

I use a battery-powered air pump to inflate mine. (It can also be used to deflate it.) It uses 4 "D" batteries. Bought it on Amazon, but I noticed that the one I bought isn't available anymore. Just do a search for "battery powered air pump" and you'll probably find something similar. Just make sure that the one you get has different size nozzles so that you can use it with other inflatable devices.

Yes, you do need a pump. We have one that plugs into our car cigarette lighter and use that for our inflatables.

Yes a hand pump or battery operated air pump may be used to inflate the mattress.

I use an electric pump. You might be able to use a bicycle pump to inflate with the right attachment on the pump. A screw on attachment that is cone shaped might work.

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

You don't HAVE to have one, but it would certainly help as it needs a lot of air. The valve is small and you can blow it up by mouth if you need to . I bought a low-priced electric pump at Big Lots...it came with a couple different nozzles one of which worked fine. I'm sure you can get one at Walmart or Target too. (or Amazon!). Have fun!

No; it's a very decent sized single. You will certainly need a manual pump or better still an electric pump to inflate though!

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.

I used an air mattress pump I already had because it inflates really fast. It worked on this and blew it up in less than a minute. Pretty much any standard pump should work.

I believe the instructions say to not use an electric pump...only the included hand pump. It is really difficult to get up past 13 psi. But, that level seemed to work. I went online to see how other people managed inflation and it was helpful. It takes a fairly tall, strong person to inflate.

We leave it over the weekend, a filter and pump would be a nice additionit's not designed to be inflated or out in the elements long unless you get a cover, I use my cordless leaf blower to inflate it, but a small shop vac setup to blow would work just as well

No. After this I bought an Aerobed (from Coleman) air mattress with included electric pump. The valve is very robust and sophisticated, designed for rapid deflation. There is no hand pump to fit this valve. I have never had an air mattress that has lasted the way this one has. Worth the money I paid and more.

Orally inflated, but you will need an electric pump to accomplish this...it's far to difficult if not impossible to inflate without one..

I have a basic hand pump that I use which it only takes me 3 minutes to inflate.....super easy!
