Getting air out of a blow up swimming pool is no easy feat. If you follow the right steps and use the right tool, however, it is certainly possible. The key to getting the air out of any blow up swimming pool is to ensure that its volume remains unchanged. A blow up swimming pool that is not rebomberd will lead to the formation of a partial vacuum that will pull in air and cause the volume to drop. Let us examine the various ways you can get the air out of a blow up swimming pool.

Fuse/Blow Torch
This is one of the most basic, yet most effective ways of getting the air out of a blow up swimming pool. When you use a blow torch to fuse the PVC of the pool, you will create a continuous flow of gas that will push the air out. Continuous blowing will also warm the air trapped inside the pool making it easier to remove. Fusing the PVC is also an effective way of disabling the pool in case of a gas leak. Disconnecting the gas supply will also halt the automatic inflation of the pool.
Jacket
If you think that getting the air out of a blow up swimming pool is hard, try getting it back in. Trying to get the air back into a partially deflated swimming pool is extremely hard. To do this, you will need a jacket that is designed for this purpose. The jacket that you use to refill the pool should also be capable of creating a partial vacuum inside the pool. Some of these jackets are also equipped with a one-way valve that will allow air to enter the pool, but not to leave it. When you get the air back into the pool, do it gradually to avoid rupturing the vinyl.
Vacuum
If you have a good vacuum cleaner, you can use it to suck up the air from inside a blow up swimming pool. In this case, you will not need to use any other tool to remove the air. A good vacuum cleaner with the proper attachments will be able to filter the air inside a blow up swimming pool and remove all the particles. Sucking up the air with a vacuum cleaner will prevent the volume of the pool from dropping due to the collapse of the partial vacuum that is formed whenever the air is blown out. Wiping down the sides of the pool with a clean cloth will also help maintain the pool volume by preventing any dripping that might occur from water evaporation caused by the heat of the sun.
These steps will help you get the air out of your blow up swimming pool. You need to ensure that you follow them carefully to prevent any damage to the pool. Make sure to consult an expert if you have any doubts about how to get the air out of your pool. You will need basic tools like a knife, an air pump, a whistle, and some determination. If you follow these steps, you will be able to get the air out of your blow up swimming pool no matter what the design or size of the pool is.
