Conditions of Use

The rental period is 5 weeks and no refund will be offered for early return of the pool.

We ask that the pool is returned as soon as possible after your baby has been born as any water left in the hoses, pump or pool can make the equipment go mouldy and it then has to be disposed of.

We take great care in looking after our birthing pools and are confident that they leave our premises in good condition and perfect working order. You must follow the assembly, filling and operating instructions which will be delivered with pool carefully. It is your responsibility to ensure the safety of all those involved in the use of the pool and to make sure the building in which it is placed is suitable e.g. is weatherproof and can take the weight of the pool. Except in respect of death or personal injury caused by our negligence, we do not accept any liability for any consequential loss or damage, costs, expenses or other claims for compensation whatsoever which may arise out of or in connection with the hiring and use of one of our pools.

Please be aware that the pool has a capital value. If for any reason you cannot return it at the end of the hire period we reserve the right to charge you for the cost of a replacement pool. It is therefore advisable for you to have insurance cover for the pool (such as Home Contents Insurance).

We make no claim as to the individual medical or other benefits that you will personally derive from the use of our pools.

Instructions are available on the Instruction page of this website. If you are unable to print them yourself we can print them for you at a cost of 50p.

Two tap connectors are supplied with the pool. If one does not fit your taps the other should but that cannot be guaranteed. Please check these as soon as you receive your pool so that you have plenty of time to purchase a more suitable one from a garden centre or hardware shop if necessary.

Please note that any thermometers or water temperature gauges supplied are approximate only. If you wish to have an accurate temperature reading then please supply your own thermometer or consult your midwife.

Always fit a liner before filling the pool with water. If you require a spare liner to have a practise run before the birth we can supply you with a demo liner for an additional £5 providing we have one available.

We ask that no payment is made until we have contacted you at 36 weeks. We call all of our customers at 36 weeks to make sure there are no complications which rule out a home water birth. If you need to cancel your booking at this point then this will be done free of charge. If everything is going well we will arrange a day for delivery of your pool and ask that you make your payment as soon as possible. Your pool will be delivered to your home address at 37 weeks of pregnancy.

All deliveries outside of Hertfordshire are made by a courier who will deliver your pool between the hours of 9am and 4pm. The courier will ask you to sign a receipt for the pool on delivery. We advise you to unpack it and check that everything is present as soon as possible after delivery.

We will arrange collection of your pool as soon as you contact us to let us know that you have finished with it. The courier is supllied with a telephone number for you and will try this before leaving if there is no reply. In the event of the courier receiving no reply from you or is turned away without collecting the pool you will be liable for a non-collection fee of £10.95 plus VAT.

The pool must remain at the address supplied on the booking form and in your possession unless otherwise agreed with us.

You are responsible for the pool for the duration of the hire period unless otherwise agreed with us.

Under no circumstances should the pool or accessories be stored outside.

Any fault or failure of the pool must be reported to us immediately and no attempt made to repair it without our authorisation. Any use of the pool other than childbirth or ante-natal relaxation will invalidate the guarantee.

Please throw away the disposable liner before returning the pool and ensure that the hoses and submersible pump are fully drained.

Throughout these conditions, the term pool means the Birthing Pool and all accessories.

It is very important to be aware of electrical appliances whilst preparing and using the pool.

Never touch an electrical switch or appliance with wet hands.

Always site the pool away from sockets or cover them with a splash proof cover.

We do not accept liability for any damage or injury caused by misuse or carelessness.
