    Nope but good luck filling it with water if you have any vindictive neighbours who might report you to the council/Irish water with the hosepipe ban. :D

    *Sigh

    Hose ban is so we can reserve our water supply for drinking, showering and day to day necessities...

    Not so you can find creative other ways to fill a f*cking paddling pool.

    It's a hose pipe ban I will not be using a hose pipe so leave it out yeah. Have small kids begging me the last 3 weeks for 1 and I get paid monthly so can only afford it now.

    It'll be thrown in the bin in a month. Don't get it. Just go to a safe swimming spot instead.

    Yes thanks I did .We filled it (pre ban )!for the kids and it stays out , we clean it with a scoop each night and take a watering can or two full out for the flowers , then replace the water with a bucket next morning .,The water is used and not wasted and I also use all my waste water from my sink for plants and flush my toilet less often .Is that to your high specs ?
