I would think it is supposed to be fresh every day. One time last summer I had left Oliver's out in the garden and forgotten to empty it - next morning there was all kinds of creepy crawlies in it. Yuk!

Agreed, but we stupidly bought an 8ft pool so a little big for constant emptying and refilling! Luckily Liv has only been in it the day we filled it, im already scared of our water bill without the thought of refilling this thing everyday!

It was in the Argos sale just had a look online and cant see the exact one, but it was in their sale leaflets at the weekend.

This one is exactly the same except ours is made by Little Tikes and has a red ring on it, we paid £30 in the sale. Only bought it Fri as we discovered on filling our old one that it had a puncture!

Buy 8ft x 26in Expandable Pool with Zip-Tight Cover. at Argos.co.uk - Your Online Shop for .

Oh and the other thing, with a cover it sems to keep the heat in! When i took the cover off earlier to have a look it was suprisingly warm!
