Last time round we drained our hot water cylinder and poor DH spent a good hour or two filling kettles and pots to fill the pool. This time round we want something a bit less labour intensive so he can spend time with me.

We have an h2Ohbaby pool, about 4-500 L capacity. What did you use to heat water? How long did it take and would you recommend it?

I'm thinking about buying a gas califont (yes, I know, I really should get on to it seeing as I'm nearly 38 weeks, lol), but I'm not sure what capacity to get. What size have people used and was it enough?

Thanks

Our midwife is supplying the pool & she said it comes with a califont for us to use to heat the water - I can ask her what size she has? (had no idea there were different sized ones)
