Do you need an air pump and if so what kind

Yes! The top ring has to be blown up. Usually a small DC volt air mattress pump, with a cone shaped variable size nozzle will work fine. The air hole is about 1 inch in diameter.

The dark blue ring on the top of the pool needs to be inflated. You could inflate without an air pump if you have a good set of lungs. A small air inflator such as the Soleaire SA-101P sold here on Amazon would work fine. I use an air compressor with the air pressure turned down low so the ring is not damaged due to over inflation.

You should have a plug with it; all three of the ones I bought had plugs. No wonder it won't hold air! I just used a hand air pump.

Yeah I used an air mattress pump. It really isn't a lot of air. You can blow it up with your mouth in about ten minutes. It's super easy.

An air mattress pump works best. But I have an air compressor, that we wrapped a washcloth around the nozzle to fill. As it is not meant to take a standard air compressor nozzle, this worked best.

Not a air pump but a sponge filter you connect to one. Does not come with airline tube.

I used an air pump. Never saw where it said otherwise. Took a matter if seconds to inflate.

Yes they do' but the air is not helium. This is a good pump. It will do the job very fast.

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

It comes with a hand pump. Takes about 15 minutes to air up. I recommend you getting a 12V electric pump.

My mom blew it up originally because we couldn't find our air pump. It didn't take her long. I also use a bike pump when necessary.

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

It comes with a special air pump and there is a an attachment at the rear end where this adapts and you just pump it up not too much.

no. you will need air line, 2 air stones, a "t" for the air line and a check valve to protect the air pump if the power fails. e mail me at lou@oilleakfixers.com if you have further questions///lou

You need to buy an air pump. I have an electric one, but they do offer battery operated ones. The battery operated ones eat batteries though so if you will have electricity access, that's what I recommend. (They have some that work on car voltage.) It doesn't need to be a real expensive one. But I use mine to blow up floats and have even blown up balloons with it.

A small electric air pump that you would use to inflate your car tires. You can buy it on Amazon, or most stores Walmart, Home Depot, Ace Hardware, automotive stores.... Etc. they are very common. I do not remember the exact amount but I think they are around 25 bucks

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.

There are many options...I just use any pumps that one would use to inflate an air mattress. That said - it is better to get one that can be plugged into your vehicle as that comes in handy if you're at the water and need to inflate the raft there.
