How Does The Birth Pool Rental Work?
Our rental period is 4 weeks - from about 38 weeks to 42 weeks. This will make sure you have the pool ready when you need it, and have plenty of time if baby decides to enter the world after his or her birth date. The cost is $195 plus HST and includes the items listed below:
The birth pool rental kit includes everything you need:
- Pool
- Disposable liner
- Inflating pump
- Lead-free filling hose -25 feet

** Any additional modification is the cost of the client responsibility (e.g. hose length, faucet adaptor)**
What Size Birth Pool Do I Need?
Birth Pool in a Box offers two sizes - Regular and Mini.
The Regular size is recommended if you are over 5'6 tall, or would like to have your partner join you in the pool.
If space in the room is limited, the Mini size is perfect!
Are Birthing Pools Hygienic?
Absolutely. Each pool comes with a single-use, disposable liner. After each rental, the pools are thoroughly cleaned and wiped down with disinfectant. We provide with each rental a brand new filling hose, pool liner, and faucet connector.
