If you also order Birthing Stool hire to your pool order we will take an additional £30 off.
These heated pools are very popular, so we strongly recommend you book your pool as soon as you have deicided on a waterbirth with a heated pool.
Why a heated pool? Heated Birthing Pools are ideal for Mums who are expecting a fast labour or who wish to have a pool set-up and ready to use in the weeks before birth. If you suffer with backache or SPD, it can be particularly beneficial to use.
The pools are larger than our non-heated ones and have wood panelling, padded rim, built in heater and filter system - also a lockable soft cover (very important expecially if you have other children or pets).
Due to the size of the pool it is best placed it on a solid stone/concrete floor - a conservatory is ideal. It weighs when full 1500kg.
This pool will take you approximately 45 minutes to assemble a little longer than our non-heated pools, please be aware you will need to be DIY minded! To assemble, simply slot the panels togeather add the liner, connect the pipes and you are ready to fill. A full photo set-up guide is included for ease. Filling time will depend on your water flow rate. You need to fill with hand hot water (maximium 40 degrees). Please make sure your boiler is adequate for this. It could take 1-2 hours to fill. The temperature control will maintain it constantly. For birth the temperature needs to be 36-37 degrees but you can labour in the pool from 32 degrees if you wish. It is important not to overheat during pregnancy and labour. Our pools maintain the temperature that you choose it to be.
We recommend having it in place and set-up from your 37th week, which is the earliest you can have a baby at home in most areas.
The filter and cleaning agents keep the pool clean during the weeks of use. New filters are fitted for each hire. The pool cleaning agents do not contain any harsh chemicals. We use a product called Aquafinesse which is enviromentally friendly. The pool comes complete with an emptying pump and 10m hose. Complete instructions on how and when to use the cleaning agents/chemicals are also included. These are essential to keep the water clean. Water after 24 hours is not fresh and will start to grow bacteria, hence the need for the chemicals.
NEW - BUBBLES - if you would like to order the extra option of having bubbles like a jacuzzi with your pool please select below. £40 hire. This includes everything to turn your pool into a jacuzzi with options of bubbles on or off. Use bubbles pre and post labour, under advice from your midwife, and use without for labour and birth.

* We send the most universal tap adapters we can find. Should these not fit your chosen tap, we suggest trying your local DIY store for others. The hose we send is a standard diameter size hose so additional adapters should fit it easily. You will also need to check the length from your sink to your pool siting as we supply a 10m filling hose (33 foot approximatey).
* Please note we also need to hold a £150 security deposit for this hire, when booking. This is paid at booking. The deposit is refunded to you when your pool is received back in good condition. You will lose your deposit if you cancel, as we may have lost bookings whilst the pool was booked out to you or if the pool is damaged on return.
