Help, can't figure out how to inflate pool raft
 
2 Attachment(s)
Through Amazon bought a Tropical Tahiti Floating Lounge (later heard they can be purchased from Sam's Club, but not the pump). Anyhow, we have been to WM, HD, a pool store, ACE, T&D, and we can't seem to find the right pump or valve to inflate the darn raft! Any help would be appreciated. I hope the pictures help. Thanks!

If you stretch (pull up) the black valve, can you blow into it? When it it's full you push it down and cap it off.

Just guessing but will try to help.

The opening will accept some type of fitting, maybe a basketball needle, but more likely a tapered plastic nozzle of various sizes, they may have left out of package? But, you need an air supply for sure. Hand pumping will keep you busy til Xmas.
Send a close up picture if you can, we have the tapered nozzles we do not need them and we have a nifty compressor we just got at Home Depot.

I looked on Google, and found this:

Easy fill - dual fill port. Pull both tabs and it's totally open so you can use any pump to fill really quickly. Insert the 1st tab and air flow is restricted so you can 'top it off' by blowing into the port. Insert the 2nd tab to close it completely.

Manufacturer's Customer Service Department at 1.855.903.8883

Hope this helps

Did you know inflatable things are not allowed in The Villages pools?

Deb when you go to Amazon and pull up your float there is a section "customer questions" and under that I found this question and answer.

Question: The inflation valve where can you get it? If not how you inflate it?
Answer: The valve is under a flap of material on the backside of the footrest. It is a large hole. We used an ekectric pump that you blow up a air bed with

There are other question and answers under the different color floats.

Thank you everyone. I need to find an air bed compressor - that might do it, ya!

We've blown up air mattresses with a shop vac. Just connect the hose to the outlet rather than the inlet.

Do like Bacall told Bogart, just pucker up and blow.

Just bought this from amazon on Prime day....got $10 off for ordering it with my amazon Dot. Worked great and it is only $16.
