Does this need a pump constantly attached like bouncy castles or do we blow up and detach? I see a hose or wire in the photo. Thanks

It does not need to pump constantly, you just blow it up and it's done (you'll need to refill it every day or so though if you leave it inflated). The hose in the pictures is connect to the rainbow and is to provide water for the spray thing that is in the center of the rainbow.

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!

No it doesn't need a pump constantly attached... the hose you see in the photos is for the "shower" feature in the rainbow.

The pump is built in so you don't have to worry about connecting or disconnecting it. All you do is plug it in and flip a switch to blow it up. When you want to deflate it you turn a dial on the pump, turn the pump on and it sucks all the air out.

It comes with a pump. The included pump is small and can be packed. I was also able to blow it up myself - just be blowing into the opening...

You have to have continuous air. It's the same set up as a blow up bounce house

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.

if you mean the from the pump to the wand... there should be a hose mine came with one. You have to supply your own hose from the water source to the pump.

You fill it with air so it will float on the water. We used an air pump with an attachment that fit the intake valve. You can find these at any store that sells camping supplies. You will want to fill it very full to get the best use out of the trampoline. Also, the anchor worked well with a large rounded rock. The trampoline stayed anchored even on a day with a tougher current.

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!

I actually got mine at a children's exchange sale and luckily it was already blown up. Because you do have to blow it up through your mouth but I'm sure a small air pump valve would work too.

No, Only when blown up, also get that pump. Makes it much much easier when you have to blow it up and de-flat for storage, I bought this for my GrandChildren and they Love it!

I also wanted to add that if you plan to blow it up without a pump it can be a pain. I kept it blown up, but if you don't plan to then I would get a cheap pump so it's easier to deflate/inflate.Also, the temp reading is not accurate so I wouldn't go by that which again to me is not a big deal.

Yep, it pulls off the end of the hose especially when your kids are helping you pump it up. But it is solidly attached it doesn't come off while in use unless you want it to.

I bought an electric pump to pump it up, but with enough time and lung power the one-way valve would allow you to blow it up manually. It does not have a tire valve for attaching a tire pump.

All of the tubes have to be plugged into the blowup parts. Insert batteries and turn on pump...it will take a long time to pump them up. If they don't stop pumping before your feet/ankles/legs start to hurt, push the down arrow until the pump stops. It should cycle on/off if it's working correctly...I sent mine back for a refund...my feedback on this product is on Amazon.com.

It didn't come with a pump, but I was able to blow it up by using my mouth. It's a very small, soft, rubbery ball, and didn't take much air to fill up. It was much easier to blow up than a balloon is.

No, it doesn't. If you do use a pump, my suggestion is only blow it up part way and finish the rest on your own.

There is a separate tether switch that plugs into the main cord. It can be removed if you want the pump to run continuously.
