Heat your garden pool with this toy store trick: save time, money

Do you have an outdoor pool in your garden and want to speed up water heating? You don't need any special devices for this. Just reach for a product you can buy at any toy store.

More and more people are deciding to buy a garden pool. This solution has one small drawback: heating the water. It takes several dozens of hours for it to get pleasantly warm with good weather.

How can you speed up this process? You don't need special equipment. All you need is one item you can buy at any toy store. You will spend no more than CAD 3.

Just set it up, fill it with water, and patiently wait. The water in the garden pool will not be ready for swimming immediately.

You can get an electronic water heater to speed up this process, but it's quite an expense. However, another method doesn't require a significant financial investment. You only need a hula hoop, a pool noodle, and a large, black garbage bag.

How to do it? Insert the hula-hoop into the bag and stretch it as tightly as possible. Cut the foam pool noodle into four equal parts. Cut each of them lengthwise on one side to create a deep slit. Attach them to the hoop. For extra security, you can use tape.

Adjust the number of "heaters" to the size of your pool. Place them on the surface and wait a few hours. The black bag will attract sunlight, causing the water to heat up much faster.

Contaminants accumulate on the pool's surface daily, making the water murky. Bathing in such conditions is unpleasant, and frequent changes are costly and not eco-friendly.

How do you clean pool water? It's very simple. First, disinfect the filters, then remove contaminants like leaves, branches, or insects.

Get a large package of ascorbic acid powder. You need 60 grams per cubic meter of water. Pour it directly into the pool and wait a few minutes. The water will become crystal clear because ascorbic acid reduces iron levels, which causes cloudiness.
