Can anyone recommend a water birth tub?

Ive been scouring the internet. So far Ive thought about birth pool in a box but I somehow feel it wont be deep enough nor roomy enough to have DF in there like I want him. I was looking at other family inflatable pools but nothing seems deep enough. Im pretty sure I want at least 25 inches of water which means like what 30 in. wall? I found the intex easy set 8ftx30in. but 8 ft is really big(and with water it will weigh over 5000 pnds!). I think 6ft around would be nice and still give lots of room. I dont know.... then Im wondering if I choose something that is not marketed as a birth pool am I gonna have a hard time finding anything in stock cause of the season (Im due in jan).. Any suggestions, tips, experience? I want depth and room.

Im gonna search for other threads that have talked about it but I wanted to ask my questions anyways.

Have you looked at YourWaterBirth.com? I know the woman that runs the site, she would be more than happy to advise you if you just give her a call. I'm assuming you are having an unassisted waterbirth or your midwife might be a helpful resource too. The pool that I think would work well for you is a professional grade pool, 30 in. tall and should hold 2 people. I figured the weight to be around 1,400lbs.

Hope this is helpful for you.

We have the Aquadoula tubs, they're circular 4.5 ft diameter and roomy enough for 2 adults. Not as deep as you mentioned but they're very popular birth tubs and everyone I've talked to who got to use one was happy, no complaints.
