As above Smile.
If I run diluted Milton through it, will be it be ok? It was the hose that came with the pool and has not been used since.

yes i used a pool that was loaned out via a homebirth group, they supplied a hosepipe and that was exactly what they did :)

yes
I ran loads of water through mine, cold then hot for 5 mins
then i milton-ed mine in the bath

when the time came (about 2 weeks later) we ran hot water through it for 5 mins before putting the water into the pool

and then DD was born so quick i didnt have a chance to get in the pool
