How do you know how much air to pump into it? Anyone have one pop on them?

Pump it up until firm. If adults will be hippity hopping around on it (hey, its been known to happen!), you'll want to make it a little less firm. The gauge of the rubber is quite thick and this bounce-on toy is very sturdy for kids up to 100 lbs in my opinion.

Hi, Howdy is soooo durable and thick blow it up until your child is comfortable sitting. It is so adorable, most small children will have lots of fun on it. In the movie Despicable Me 2 there is a pink and white one that is blown up and bounces all over. Hope this is helpful . Oh, no I don't believe they will pop. windchimes

Not sure how much exactly. I just put enough in it to make it pretty firm. I imagine it will pop, but you would probably know it was coming. You want it tight, but not to the point it starts stretching out.

Not much, you want enough to make it firm but not too much because they are going to bounce on it. In other words, how long is a piece of string, you have to adjust for the weight of the child.

I have a 12v air pump that I use. When you blow it up by mouth, you have to make sure the stem is constantly pinched so that the internal safety valve stays open while filling it. I, personally, would NOT want to fill it by mouth, unless I had a strong set of lungs! I hope this helps! On a side note. We bought 4 of these. One of them came with a small leak which the company replaced for me. Since then we have had them on the lake, and we went tubing down a river also. They have worked really well for us. Good luck!

mine came with a small pump that works very well. there is a blue hose with a tip attachment that inserts into the center of the hard plastic platform on the underside. There is a yellow bellows type pump that you step on and off with your foot to inflate. It says not to inflate the dome more than 9-9-1/2 inches tall. I hope this answer helps you.

You uncap the plastic nozzle and blow a few puffs of air into it. Doesn't take much. In fact the one in the photo would probably be overinflated for me.

Ours doesn't bulge. It loses air but I just plug it in and pump it up everyday

I don't recall paperwork with mine either. A pump was included and I add air periodically. Don't think I would want it blown up so it's really firm. Were you able to contact the company and ask them?

Same thing with me but I put a little air in it- put it inside the tires-put them on the rims and then pumped them up to correct pressure and they worked great. Try it- I didn't think they were the right size but they have been on 2 months with no problems.

You need to bite the valve very low when you blow into it. It was very difficult the first time we inflated it but after that it does get easier.

Make sure all connections are screwed in real tight, otherwise air will escape and you won't be able to reach any pressure. When I first had my pump, I hadn't tightened all of the connections adequately and it was as if the pump didn't work. Once the connections were all tight, then the pump worked fine and we were able to fill the cylinder to the necessary 3,000 psi. Hope that helps!

You have plenty of pressure but not enough air reserve. You need a larger air tank for volume.

Be sure to pull the inflation stem all the way out to inflate otherwise you're wasting your breath. (I'm assuming that you can't get any air into it.)

We used a pump. I would NOT recommend trying to blow it up by mouth as it would take forever. Not sure what kind of pump though, but I am guessing most would work.

Mine has only filled up one time. I am currently not drawing air from outside, just exhausting to outside and it is working well.

I will take it down to the grid you see at the bottom of the pump. There it starts sucking air, a little less than an inch.

There shouldn't be any air coming out when it's not attached to anything, you should contact the seller. Maybe one of the safety valves, pressure gauge, or fill port is loose?

make sure all seals are tight and the hose is connected properly to pump and fill tip. worse comes to worse use a bike pump or air mattress pump. be careful with the last idea. have some one hold a yard stick next to bosu while inflating and when good height have pin ready to go in as you pull hose

I used an air pump but that pool wasn't worth the money it popped within 15 minutes. Send it back and invest more for the plastic pools either the paw or for larger dogs the bone.
