Mum shares clever hack to blow up a paddling pool in seconds

A SAVVY mum has revealed how to instantly blow up a padding pool with no fancy equipment - and there's no faff involved.

Parent Casey Major-Bunce, who has four children, shared the genius hack just in time for summer, and it will be a game-changer.

According to the mum, from the UK, you can easily blow up a padding pool in your garden with two common household items - a hair dryer and a plastic bottle.

Demonstrating the trick on Instagram, where her account has won almost 70k fans, Casey said there was no need to worry if you don't have a pump.

''Use a top of a bottle and the hair dryer on cool mode - and you have your own pump.''

For this, all you need to do is cut the bottle in half and attach the top section to your hair dryer.

Once done, place the cap section by the hole of your pool and switch on the hair dryer on the right setting.

Praising the hack, the mum-of-four wrote by the video: ''Iv been doing this for a few years now and it saves so much take [time] plus money [sic].

''Save this and share with your mum friends.''

The video soon racked up over 4k likes on social media and numerous comments, with many thanking Casey for the pool tip.

One will certainly be giving it a go this season, writing: ''Bloody brill. We bought one last summer and me and my mate nearly died blowing it up.''

Another beauty fan advised: ''Don't forget have ghd hair dryer as it more stronger than all of hair dryers.

''We used it for big swimming pool.''

''What would we all do without you and yours hacks,'' fan joked.

However, whilst the response was predominantly positive, some warned others and claimed the hack was dangerous.

An Instagram user penned: ''Be VERY careful! This can cause your hairdryer to over heat and catch fire so be cautious and don't let the kids do it.''

''Definitely feel like I would end up blowing my hair dryer up,'' another was not entirely convinced by this method.
