Did you use a sterile liner on a rented birth pool when doing a dummy run?

simple question really.
The company we've rented from says always to use a liner when putting water in the pool, but they cost £25 which seems a bit steep for a dummy run.

any thoughts appreciated!

Didn't do a dummy run Blush.
Oh maybe I did, but would have just used tap water, no liner, & then dried it out, I reckon.

Are you actually getting in it or do you just want to see how long it takes to fill? If the latter I wouldn't bother asssuming the liner is for hygiene and comfort and not waterproofness!

I wasnt planning to get in it, or maybe I should, not sure!

We did a test run at the weekend without the liner.
