So, you need to buy your own air pump for this one? If yes, which air pump would you recommend. Thank you ! &#x1F60A;

Yes, you need to have an air pump to run the flow in this breeding box. If you don't have it, you'll need to get one. I like the Whisper air pumps. I have a small Whisper pump, I think the one graded for 10-15 gallon aquariums, running a breeder box just fine. I usually get larger Whisper pumps like Whisper 30-60 because they have multiple air outlets and can run multiple breeder boxes and sponge filters. Good luck! :)

You need an air compressor, or go to a gas station that has one. Be sure not to exceed the pressure rating of the canister!

For me I just use a little battery operated pump , air it up till it feels moderately tight then go for it. Just a word of advice....be mindful that on a hot day they will get too tight and you should beach land it a relieve a little pressure. on a cold day I had it all pumped up, threw it on the trailer and headed to the lake, when I got there it was deflated considerably due to the cold. I pumped it up and away it goes. Its a awesome rig. Get U 1, FISH ON!

I purchased an inexpensive pump that you plug in. Otherwise.....you will probably pass out trying to blow it up yourself!

Yes, you will need an air pump. My tank is 10 gallon and I bought a bigger pump to get more air flow and a dual check valve splitter from Walmart to control the air. You can see my review under my id retho78.

It is best to use an air pump. I have a small one that I use for air mattresses and it works great. If you are taking it to a resort or pool, they may inflate it for you. I took mine to the Mandalay Bay and they aired it up for free. Worked great in the lazy river!

You don't NEED a pump, but it sure makes it go a lot faster. Plus it has a really plastic-y aroma, so you might not want to have your mouth on it too long. I used an air compressor and had it filled in just a few minutes.

An air pump does not come with the boat. There are many universal types. I picked up a dual action coleman for about $15. I also use an electric one that works off my 12 volt car outlet, but it does not do a good job of building pressure so I finish inflating with the hand pump. Hope this helps. Love the boat though!

Your best bet is to ask Amazon about replacing it or you can go to a Walmart or similar type store to buy another air pump to us separately. It will not replace the built in, but it will allow you to inflate the bed.

No air pump included. You probably don't really need one, though, since the included hang-on-back filter causes plenty of surface agitation to aerate the water.

The only thing I can think of is to google the model number of the air pump to find the replacement part or just take the pump & hose to your local ace hardware (or fish shop) to see if they can assist or special order a part. Hope it works!!

Hi... i used a regular pump like the one you use for bicycles. Just be mindful of the air pressure limits.Enjoy!

mine came pumped basically perfect. But I suggest getting a pump in case. I've seen it deflated in stores.

Yes, you really should use a pump. It takes a lot of air and certainly possible to blow it up with breath. Once inflated you can adjust pressure as temp changes using breath.

The air compressor is a must. My husband has one, which I believe he bought at Sears. This thing is really big!

You will have to buy an air pump that had the interchangeable pieces that look like funnels to blow up your bed. You have the option of blowing it up by mouth but I don't recommend it because it takes a lot of energy and it takes a while to do it

Same as what Evan S. said.... a small air pump like you'd use on an air mattress works great on this! It's an AWESOME cooler float but it would take a long time to be blown up by mouth :-)
