Aquadoula Question

622 Views 11 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  MamaTaraX
So, how far in advance can you fill the Aquadoula with a heater and expect it to stay *warm really? I'm having laborish things all day and DH is set on getting it ready since my labor with DS was FAST at the end. I'm pretty convinced that this is a no go so far in terms of going anywhere. Ideas?

If you cover it, and it has a good heater, it should be good for about 3 days. Add a cup or two of sea salt to keep the water fresh. You can always pump some water out and add hot as needed if it cools too much.

Hmm, I have no sea salt. I DO have Kosher salt. Will that work?
Thanks - the water didn't have to sit TOO long!!

3-4 days. We emptied and refilled every three days and I three in some TTO about day 2 just for kicks and some pretty smelling oils whenever I got in it to boot. Turned out to be a good thing. The day before my due date we emoptied and refilled. Processtook roughly 5 hours. I used the pool twice the day the baby was born and he was born in water. My labor was under 2 hours and there was no way to have had time to empty, fill, or even add warm water to it.
That'll teach me to read replies first. CONGRATS!!! HappY Babymoon!

Namaste, Tara
