Keeping the water clean

[Jade]

is there someway to keep the water clean longer?
besides pulling it out and replacing it everyday? I bought a plastic tub at the hardware store for Z today big enough for him to easily soak in it if he wants but it seems like hauling it out everydays going to be a pain
eventually i want to have an enclouser with a drain and faucet on the pool so it can easily be emptyed,cleaned and refilled without moving it.
is there a filter or something i cant put on/in the tub so i dont have to change it some frequently or am i stuck with everyday changing?

Nope...there's no way to do that. The water should be replaced AT LEAST once a day. Nasty bacteria quickly multiplies in water and there isn't anything we can do to it to prevent that...aside from putting things in it that would also kill our igs.

I suggest that you start getting him used to the bath tub. It'll make your cleaning chores much lighter in the end.

well i guess im going to have to start talking to my dad about the possabilitys of a drain and facuet, all the pipes are right there so maybe that possible, fore now i'll just use a little water in the watertub so i dont kill myself trying to move it

i asked my dad and he said putting a drain and even a fuacet on the tub are perfectly possible i doubt it will happen right away but i'll let you know if i decide to take the project on
