Inflating your pool pillow is not difficult, but you do need to use the right techniques to avoid damaging your inflatable.
-
Read the label on the side of the pool pillow. This label contains instructions detailing the proper way to inflate the pillow.
-
Attach the hose of your air compressor to the intake nozzle on the pillow. If the label indicates that air compressors should not be used, attach a hand-crank compressor instead.
-
Run the automatic or hand-crank compressor until the pillow is firm to the touch. Be careful not to over-inflate the pillow. Over-inflating the pillow could cause it to spring a leak.
-
Remove the filler hose from the pillow and immediately seal it with the plug. This will prevent air from leaking back out.
