The Best Way to Inflate Your Water Trampoline
If you are inflating your water trampoline for the first time, the best favor you can do for yourself is buying an automatic air pump.
There are numerous industrial-strength inflators available, like the Rave Hurricane Blower. With a high-pressure blower like this, you can have your trampoline's floatation tube inflated within half an hour.
Alternatives
If you are in a pinch, and you do not have an automatic inflator, you do not need to start warming up your lungs. There are options.
Compressors
While an air compressor can easily get the job done, it is definitely not recommended that you use one to inflate your trampoline. The speed and power of air compressors can easily result in damage to your trampoline. The use of an air compressor can lead to harmful over-inflation that could cause damage beyond repair.
If you absolutely have to use an air compressor, be sure to monitor it at all times during inflation.
Most floatation tubes for water trampolines are fully inflated with a mere two PSI of air pressure. If you are using a compressor, ensure that the trampoline is not inflated past two PSI.

Other Options
Another alternative to the automatic inflator is a shop vacuum. Shop vacuums generally have high airflow rates and a good amount of power, so you can attach the output of the shop vacuum to the tube to inflate it. However, a shop vacuum is terribly inconvenient at a lake.
Leaf blowers can also be used to inflate your trampoline, but sometimes they can be tricky to attach to the floatation tube, causing a longer time of inflation.
