No refund will be given for early return of the pool or pools that remain unused.
Payment
We ask for no payment when you fill out and submit your booking form.

Providing everything is going well we will arrange a convenient day for delivery of your pool. Payment should be made immediately so that we can get your pool to you at 48 hours before your event. This can be done by cheque or by bank transfer. All payment details can be found on the bottom of your Booking Invoice.
If you are booking late please note that payment will be due immediately.
Delivery and Collection
All deliveries outside of Hertfordshire are made by a courier. Delivery is on a 'Standard Next Day' Service which will take place anytime between 9am & 4pm.
The courier will ask you to sign a receipt for the pool on delivery. You must unpack it and check that everything is present and correct within 24 hours of delivery.
We will contact you the day after your event to arrange a convenient day for collection of your pool. The courier will visit the Delivery and Collection address supplied on your form anytime between 9am and 6pm. 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 £15.
All equipment must be packed away safely in the box provided to give our equipment adequate protection during transport. The courier has the right to refuse to pick up any box where the lid is not securely shut. A non-collection fee of £15 also applies.
Equipment
Our charitable pools are supplied with a disposable liner, one hose, two tap connectors, a waterproof floor sheet, anti-slip floor mat, electric submersible emptying pump and electric inflate/deflate pump.
We take great care in looking after our pools and accessories and are confident that they leave our premises in good condition and perfect working order.
You must follow the assembly, filling and operating instructions, available to download and print from this website, very 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 use of one 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.
Always fit a liner before filling the pool with water. This must be returned with the charitable pool once you have finished with it.
On receipt of your pool please check that no items have been damaged or lost in transit. Due to misuse we longer offer an out of hours number therefore any fault or failure of the pool must be reported to us within 24 hours of receipt and no attempt made to repair it without our authorisation.
Any use of the pool for any other activity other that the event specified on your booking form will invalidate the guarantee.
Please ensure that the hoses and submersible pump are fully drained before returning them to us.
Throughout these conditions, the term pool means the Birthing Pool and all accessories.
Care of Equipment
You are expected to take reasonable care of the pool and accessories, whilst in your possession.You must pack everything back into the box provided before it is returned to provide adequate protection for the pool and equipment during transport.
Please be aware that the pool and accessories have a capital value. If for any reason you cannot return any of the items at the end of the hire period or they are returned damaged, we reserve the right to charge you for the cost of a replacement. It is therefore advisable for you to have insurance cover for the pool (such as Home Contents Insurance).
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. Our pools are not suitable for use with a water heater as it will melt through the plastic. Under no circumstances should the pool or accessories be stored outside.
Pets should be kept away from our pool.
Safety
It is very important to be aware of electrical appliances whilst preparing and using the pool.
Never touch an electrical switch orappliance 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.
Additional Charges
Unauthorised extension of hire period
Once you reach the end of your hire period we will contact you to discuss return of your pool. If we cannot contact you and we do not hear from you or someone on your behalf you will be charged £16 per week your hire period runs into.
Non-collection fee
If the courier comes to collect your pool and they receive no reply from knocking at your door or is turned away without collecting the pool you will be liable for a non-collection fee of £15.
Wet pool fine
Pools MUST NOT be returned wet for any reason. Any pool returned wet will incur a fine of £16 (the equivalent of one weeks hire). To avoid this fine never fill your pool without fitting a liner first, if you spill water into the pool when removing the liner wipe it dry with a towel or kitchen roll etc before deflating it, drain your submersible emptying pump and hoses before placing them in the box, you may wish to place your hose in a plastic carrier bag, follow the advice given in the instructions regarding packing wet items at the bottom of the box and never store your pool outside.
Missing or damaged items
Missing or damaged items must be paid for.
Refusal to return equipment
All pools and equipment remain the property of Water Baby Birthing Pool Hire. In the rare circumstances that a customer refuses to return the pool or equipment to us we reserve the right to take the necessary steps to recover our property. All charges and interest incurred will be invoiced to the customer.
Removal of these fees is at the discretion of the Proprietor.
