But as the kids start splashing away and temperatures drop later in the day, parents often find themselves trecking back-and-forth to the kitchen to fill it back.
And after all that hard work, leaves and dirt fall into your pool overnight and the water gets cold, meaning you have to restart the filling-up process again the next day.
To save you time and energy, mum Natalie has revealed her savvy hack that will set you back just 24p.
The Brit revealed that her keeps the warm for the kids to enjoy and keeps pests and unwanted dirt from falling into the water.
All you need is a few black bin bags.
The clip posted to her account was a hit with parents, as Natalie said : “PSA: If you toss some black bin bags in the paddling pool now, it’ll take the chill off the water for when the kids get in from school.”
“Make sure you cover as much of the paddling pool’s surface as possible! You’re welcome.”
The hack works as dark colours like black, absorb the heat from the sun instead of reflecting it away.
This then keeps the water underneath nice and warm without having to use your hot water.
If you want to try the easy trick for yourself, you can purchase a roll of 10 large wheelie bin liners for just £2.44 in Asda.
For a smaller pool you’ll only need to use one at a time which will cost you 24p.
What’s even better is that you can hang the liner to dry in the sun while the kids are in the pool to reuse it and save even more .
People were quick to take to the comments and were eager to try it for themselves.
One person wrote: “Great idea!” Another commented: “This actually works!”
