While many people rely on an outdoor tap with cold water to add the water, you should go directly from the warm tap inside.
If your hose doesn't attach to your inside tap, a mum shared how she gets around this issue.
TikTok user @healthandlovingmyself shared how you simply need to fill up a watering can with warm water, and put the hose inside the nozzle.
The water will then travel down the pipe and fill up your pool with the hot water.
The best part of the hack is you don't need to spend hours lugging buckets of warm water outside - and don't need to constantly refill the kettle.
Many people were very impressed with the hack and wondered why they hadn't thought of it before.
One person wrote: 'I was 40 years old.. Thnx.'
Another added: 'Smart.'
However, one user commented: 'The water bill.'
And a second said: 'More fun when its cold.'
The clever way you can ensure your paddling pool is kept warm
BIN BAG HACK
We previously shared how a woman has come up with the ultimate hack to heating up the water in her chilly paddling pool - and it just requires a bin bag.
She told Tyla how she was fed up of going back and forth with kettles to keep the water warm outside.
Lainey Thomson decided to instead place a bin bag on the top to attract the heat from the sun.

She revealed: "I did this because I only have a cold outside tap and I was using buckets and the kettle to warm up the pool.
"By putting black bin bags on top it attracts the sun and it warms it up very quickly. Within about 45 minutes the water is warm and stays warm all day in the sun."
The idea was first floated on the Mrs Hinch Made Me Do It Facebook group, when one woman asked for advice to heat her 8ft freezing cold paddling pool.
One person advised: "Fill with cold from outside tap then cover with black bin bags. Leave for an hour!"
'The sun is drawn to the black bags and heats it up. Works a treat every time," one person commented.

The linen-rich material makes the long skirt comfortable to wear even in the heat. Called the Linen Rich Maxi A-Line Skirt, it comes in two colours: black for a more understated look and tomato for those who like a pop of colour. The skirt has a lovely A-line shape and comes with a stretch waistband making it super comfortable to wear no matter what you're doing. READ MORE FASHION BUYS FLATTER FACTOR Shoppers love Primark's 'gorgeous' new £16 skirt that will hide your mum tum It's the perfect wardrobe staple that can be dressed down with a white T-shirt and sandals or dressed up with a crop top and heels. And if that wasn't enough, the skirt even comes with pockets. M&S bosses say: "This linen-rich skirt is an easy-breezy addition to your warm weather wardrobe. "It's cut in a flattering A-line shape, with a flowing maxi-length hem. "Shirring on the waistband adds pretty detail and ensures a comfortable wear."

Another commented: 'Lovely white skirt, great length with side pockets and a lovely smocked waist. Can't wait to take it in holiday." Why Everyone Is Loving M&S Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale revealed to Fabulous why M&S is the shop of the moment. She explained: 'M&S has really pulled it out of the bag this season, there is so much good product to be excited about. 'A brand once known for its 'frumpy fashion' that notion is long gone with it now being one of the leading high street stores for womenswear. 'Its handbag range in particular is super strong with them selling 170% vs plan, with lots more designer dupes for just a fraction of the price. 'The brand is now also the #1 for style perceptions, compared to the #3 spot it had last year, this comes from a really strong design team focused on modernising the brand, not only taking into consideration how the pieces look, but how easy they are to wear also. 'Price is also a big factor with you being able to get many good quality pieces all for under £30. 'After having a sneak peak of the upcoming collection there are so many more amazing pieces that are dropping over the next few months to keep your eyes on. 'Think leopard print dresses, colourful co-ords, embroidered boho jackets, plus lots of swimwear and amazing accessories, as well as great wardrobe staples that will last year on year.' "Lovely lightweight skirt. Feels very comfortable on. Love the waist with elastic to fit any shape. Can wear high up on waist or on hips. Lightly see through but not too much. Lovely quality material," penned a third. Meanwhile, a fourth said: "Love it super comfortable, smart enough so can dress it up or down. Love the pockets. Had lots of compliments and queries as to where they could get it." "Perfect for summer and so versatile. Feels like good quality material for the price,' claimed a fifth. Someone else added: 'I bought a similar skirt from a high street retailer and it doesn't touch the quality of this one, plus this had pockets! I've bought all the colours in this shirred waist style as they're coords and I love easy to wear styles, being a busy mum of 3."
