Dear Doc, All Blast Zone inflatables come with an included blower to inflate it. You can inflate the inflatable by tying the short air tube shut, securely attaching the blower to the long air tube and then turning the blower on. When you are done, you can deflate the inflatable by turning the blower off, detaching the blower from the long air tube and untying the short air tube for an additional deflation vent. Sincerely, Blast Zone Support
