I fill mine up to 3000psi from ~2000psi and it takes like 60~75 pumps with my Hill hand pump. If I recall correctly, the directions for the hill pump say to give it a rest after about 50 pumps or when the pump body feels excessively warm. I've been using the hill pump everyday now at least once a day...and I pump nice and slow. By the time I get to 3000psi, the pump is just starting to feel warm. I let my hill pump rest at least 15 minutes before I use it again. Heat is what destroys the seals in the pump, so its important to keep the pump as cool as possible. Pumping nice and slow keeps the heat down and my heartbeat too.
