Birth Pools

Regular La Bassine and Birth Pool in a Box birth pools have single use or one year warranties. Any manufacturer's defects need to be reported within 30 days of delivery. It is HIGHLY recommended that pools be opened and inspected well prior to a due date so that if there is a manufacturing defect it can be replaced well in time for the birth. If a pool is purchased second-hand, the warranty is no longer in effect, even if it is within 5 uses or one year from the original purchase. Only an original purchaser can make a warranty claim.

Aquaborn Eco Birth Pools purchased after July 2014 have 10 use or one year warranties. All Aquaborn pools purchased before that time have a single use/one year warranty. The warranty applies only to the original purchaser. If a pool is purchased second-hand, the warranty is no longer in effect, even if it is within 10 uses or one year from the original purchase. Only an original purchaser can make a warranty claim.
