how often do you need to pump it?

After every shot. It is also recommended to pump it 1 time and leaving it pumped while not in use. That is unloaded & not cocked of course.

You need to pump it with every shot, it's a variable pump air rifle meaning you pump it to determine the amount of air pressure in the reservoir which will determine the power. In my experience 3 shots gets the pellet out, 5-7 shots for your normal plinking, and 10-11 pumps maximum if you're doing any hunting or pest control.

You pump it only when you want to shoot it. The more pumps the faster the pellet goes. Never leave it pumped up, that will hurt the air bag inside.Happy shooting !!

Depending on if your hunting or target shooting. 3 times for target 8 for hunting.

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.

I use it once a day..about 'two pumps' from the bottle. I think the bottle lasts about 6 weeks.

For regular target shooting, you only need to pump it 3 times. You need to be careful not to pinch your hand while pumping. Yes, it does take some effort and time, but not rushing things will help you become a better shot. Although this gun is very accurate, you will need to get used to the stiff trigger pull. I wish it could be adjusted...but it's that way to keep Crosman out of court, safety-wise. My 18 year-old Grandaughter can out-shoot me with it.

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.

I usually just keep pumping until it runs out. If I'm in a hurry, I hold it upside down over the sink.

I have to be honest and say that I don't know for sure I have used it on several occasion for 2 weeks straight as follow 1._ Make sure I have a full charge 2._ Fill up the bed. 3._ Then as needed refill the bed. (The battery was good for the 2 weeks period) I never had to inflate and deflate the bed on a daily basis and can't say how long the pump will last under those conditions

Every couple of months. I keep the container from over flowing so it lasts longer. If it gets covered in debris I change it sooner. The ionizer helps

No you don't have to run it all the time, but I would recommend buying a cover for it and running the pump/filter at least 6 to 8 hours for best results. Remember to chlorinate.

Sorry, can't help you with this. The simple solution may be to just not pump as much.

I agree with Bradley. I was able to pump out 2 gallons from a scooter in around 2 minutes. I figure it would take 5-6 minutes of steady pumping to do 5 gallons. It's a good little pump. If it took Don 15-30 to pump 5 gallons, then his pump may be broken.

Are you pumping it about 7 times and then trying? If so, you may have a bad one and return it for another one. If you don't pump it, there is no pressure to spray.

I usually pump it at the start and then once more, in order to empty the 3.5 gallons. HTH

You are to use approximately 5 pumps and rub from the roots to the end. The instructions should be right on the bottle.

There is a good amount of pumping required to inflate. I'm not sure if its something I would want to do everyday.

It should last 3 to 4 weeks. 1 to 2 pumps are all that is typically needed.

It does require continuous pumping...quite the work out on the arms...not a big fan. I did find that I could pinch the balloon while I rested and then start pumping again. But either way it is too much fuss.
