Hello, I recently purchased a paddling pool for my grand kids, who will be going out to my place, with parents, of course over

the coming few months. Problem is, it's Huge. 3m times 3m with a depth of probably 1.5m. It took an absolute age to half fill,

with much too much water, to be disposed of every day. My question/plea is this; is there anywhere I can buy some sort of

filter, to allow the water at least to be used for a few days without having to replace. It's the cost of water, but not only that,

I hate the idea of wasting such a much needed resource. I know nothing about pool/paddling, and their up-keep, with regard

to keeping the critters out. Would a mosquito netting cover, suffice.

Any and all help is much appreciated, in advance.

Regards, JAOBM.

Leroy Merlin have everything you need for your pool including ladders..

Hope you have one near you, or the lazenia boulevard one is not far from you, they are very helpful.

Good luck.

If it hasn't got connectors for hoses for a pump/filter then it will be very difficult to effectively deploy any type of pump/filter.

Being chlorinated should deter mozzies but unless you are going to be there to look after it daily (sunlight burns off chlorine) be prepared for it to turn green at any time at which point only aggressive filtering or emptying and refilling will fix it - until the next time.

A tight fitting cover can help prevent that but is not a guarantee.

Easier to take the little darlings to the beach or a water park !
