A CLEVER mum has revealed the easy way to keep your pool topped up with warm water without having to fill the kettle.
Emma, from the UK, found the perfect solution to ensure the paddling pool wouldn't be ice cold with minimal effort.
And the best part is that if you have a hose pipe already then it's totally free.
Instead of buying a tap attachment to get hot water from the sink into the pool, she shared her clever trick on TikTok.
The savvy mum said: "Need hot water but have no tap attachment? Try this.
"One end of the hose in the sink, add some water, push the rest of the hose outside, submerge and turn on the tap."

She pushed the end of the hose under the running water, making sure the sink didn't overflow.
The mum then made her way outside and took the other end of the hose and sucked air into it.
This allowed the water from the sink to run down the hosepipe into the pool.
Now you have a warm paddling pool the kids won't complain about without having to fill it up every five minutes.
