Thanks meow, I never thought of this with ds2. We got a pool hose anyway but I didn't use a filter. I know for next time now

meow - food grade hoses you can get at Bunnings type of places.

Oh good! I had a feeling Bunnings would be on to it.

Sort of at the other end of the waterbirth - the bigger diameter grey water hoses are way quicker at siphoning out the birthpool water.

We only have rain water but the hose toxins are a good point

Thanks for sharing!

Rain water from where? Do you filter it?
