Can this chair be pumped up by a foot pump? How big is the hole at the bottom of it that you pump air into? Do I HAVE to buy an electric pump?

We had a foot pump and it was a nightmare! We bought 2 chairs and pumping them both up plus the Ottoman was an extreme amount of work. The hole is the standard size you would find on a blow up pool. It's larger. You can fit the house on it but you have to place it strategically and hold it there. It can be done but I wouldn't recommend it.

The hole to inflate is the same size as that of a beach ball. I used an electric pump and it extended within minutes. I believe it would take an extremely long time to blow up without one. I love the chair - stays inflated with lots if use!

No It does not have a pump. You have to buy one. The electric is to trigger the pump

we bought an electric pump at the pool store. It has been a couple of seasons now and it has held it's air.

I use an electric air pump and it inflates quickly in less then 5 minutes. Your time may vary depending on pump. To be honest the center foot pillow takes longer to inflate due to the small diameter of the air valve. I always deflate after use and store back in my garage. The larger diameter air valves on the outer main floats allow it to deflate in just a few minutes. Hope this answers your question.

We had no problem pumping ours up. Used the same electric pump we used for our air mattress.

Don't know, as I've never used one. Probably can since you are able to blow this up by mouth as well as the foot pump. Used it last weekend and it didn't take as long as I thought it would to blow up. Pretty good size sleeping area, as well!

A pump is not included. It is recommended to inflate with a foot pump or air compressor (sold separate).

We have an Electric Pump available that easily inflates, I have provided the link below: New Intex 66621E Air Inflator With Quick-Fill 12 Volt Rechargeable Electric Pump Carry Handle

No, it can't handle the pressure you need for that. There are bicycle rated foot pumps however.

I haven't tried to inflate it manually with an air pump. There is a hole where the air exits when being deflated, and I can't tell if anything is inside that can potentially block air from entering. The attached 2 prong power cord is about 6 ft. in length and it does state on its warning label for "indoor use only." I hope that helps.

the pump is built in to the bed. you have to use your foot to pump it up. However, I used a different electrical pump that was much faster.

With using an electric bed pump, i just pumped it up until it cant push anymore air in the boat, you can tell kinda like blowing up an air mattress. The air valves have the safety valves which only let in air and for the big chambers you push the lip and it keeps the air from coming out. The only ones you have to be quick with are the seats and if you have the Coleman 12-Volt DC QuickPump, there are no issues at all cause it comes with the adjustable heads for each chamber.

It is recommended to inflate with a foot pump or an air compressor. Recommended working pressure is 2.5 psi (0.17 bar). Please see owner's manual for additional inflation instructions.

Not an electric pump. The pump is built into the bed. All you have to do is step on it and it fills itself with air.

You defiantly need a pump. We used our electric tire pump. Took about a half an hour to inflate.

I believe the instructions say to not use an electric pump...only the included hand pump. It is really difficult to get up past 13 psi. But, that level seemed to work. I went online to see how other people managed inflation and it was helpful. It takes a fairly tall, strong person to inflate.

There is no electric pump on the market (and I have checked!) aside from a compressor that will pump the boards higher than 5-7 lbs. Manaufacturer recommends that you not use a compressor but I have had great success by modifying the hose that comes with the hand pump and using a compressor with both a tank pressure gauge set low and an input gauge set to 15 lbs. Its not an elegant solution but it works, with one drawback...it severly limits the portability, that is to say, you have to pump the board at the compressor typically located at your residence (rather than pump beachside) which means that you transport the board inflated...if you find an electric pump that works, let me know.
