To be pissed off with the paddling pool

[Soubriquet]

Fucking bastard thing

It's got a slow puncture somewhere on it and can I find it?!

Can I heck!!

I've tried inspecting every inch with my eyes.

I've soaped it all up looking to see if bubbles will come out.

Nope!!

It's too big to submerge in water which means I'm going to have to buy a new one

Damn you to paddling pool hell where I hope the devil pisses in you and it BURNS!!!

I also now stink off bloody fairy liquid and my arms are all dry and icky

I hate you paddling pool

You need a bigger pool.

So you can dip the small pool in the big pool, see where the bubbles come from.

Oh paddling pool rage is the worst

Try getting one that doesn't need blowing up? They're cheap and sturdy and leave you with only the filling up and emptying to rage about.

there bastards arnt they,? i find they never last long before punturing

we used to have one in the 70,s that was a big square thing on a type of frame it was brilliant i wonder if they still make them like that 🤔

Good idea about the ridged sided ones

Argos seems to have a 6ft wide rigid side one for £18.99

I think I'll get that one

Just get the cheap rigid side ones and a roll of duck tape for the rips. Will last a whole summer and easy to flip out and flop away. Ready to fill in moments.

I feel your pain. I've got a slow puncture too. I was hoping maybe the stopper had come out and maybe one of the kids hadn't told me and put it back in.
I emptied it this morn and re inflated it and filled again and now look at the slopey bastard

That's exactly what mine did

One min dd was playing in it happy as anything, the next it had sagged and water was running everywhere

I tightened up the plugs and reinflated it thinking that will do it.

Nope.

I cannot find this bloody hole anywhere

I've got the puncture kit all ready to go but no hole to put it on

I bought the 6ft rigid one from Argos last weekend, it’s brilliant. Takes FOREVER to fill but worth it!
