Do you use a filter in the kiddie pool? My snappy is in a kiddie pool, but i'm having all kinds of trouble w/ the filter, getting knocked over, etc.

Kiddie pools are large, cheap, and can be kept in the basement with a submerged heater in the winter months. The one in the picture is small enough to fit on a small table
