No More Cold Kiddie Pools | How To Get Warm in 5 Easy Steps
Inflatable pools are a great way to enjoy a refreshing swim in your backyard without having to invest in a permanent in-ground pool. However, one of the challenges of using an inflatable pool is warming up the water. It can be especially difficult during the hot summer months when everyone wants to get in right away but the water from your hose comes out ice cold!
Fortunately, there is a simple solution to this problem (move aside chattering teeth and blue lips!) - by hooking up your hose line to a shower temperature control. This will allow you to adjust the water temperature to your desired level, making your swim even more enjoyable. In this blog post, we will go through the steps on how to warm up the water for your inflatable pool by using a shower temperature control.

*Please note that while the steps outlined in this blog post are straightforward and can be completed by most people with basic handyman skills, it is always a good idea to consult a professional plumber if you are unsure about your ability to complete the installation. Installing a shower temperature control requires a certain level of skill and expertise, and if done incorrectly, it can result in leaks or other problems that could damage your property or cause harm to yourself or others.
Step 1: Gather the necessary materials Before you begin, make sure you have the following materials:
- A hose line
- A shower temperature control
- An adjustable wrench
- Teflon tape
- An inflatable pool
Step 2: Install the shower temperature control
Once you have all the materials, the next step is to install the shower temperature control. The process is fairly straightforward, but make sure you follow these steps carefully to avoid any leaks or other issues:
- Turn off the water supply to the shower and disconnect the hose from the faucet.
- Wrap Teflon tape around the threads of the shower temperature control to create a watertight seal.
- Connect the shower temperature control to the faucet using an adjustable wrench. Tighten the connection securely, but don't over-tighten it as this can cause damage to the shower temperature control.
Step 3: Place hose in inflatable pool to fill
With the shower temperature control installed, it's now time to fill up the inflatable pool.
Step 4: Turn on the water and adjust the temperature
You can now turn on the water and adjust the temperature to your desired level. Always ensure that the water is not too hot to avoid burns. Simply turn the dial on the shower temperature control to the desired setting. It may take a few minutes for the water to reach the desired temperature, so be patient. Remember to never overfill your inflatable pool. Only fill to the max water level line.
Step 5: Enjoy your warm swim
Once the water is at the desired temperature, you can now hop in and enjoy your warm swim. The warm water will make your swim even more enjoyable, especially on those hot summer days.
Warming up the water in your inflatable pool is a simple process that can be done in a matter of minutes. By hooking up your hose line to a shower temperature control, you can adjust the water temperature to your desired level, making your swim even more enjoyable. So, gather the necessary materials, follow these steps, and enjoy your warm swim!
