I didn’t drill holes. I propped the cartridge pump and salt chlorinator up on plastic chairs, dropped the intake and output hoses directly into the pool and weighted the hoses down with ankle weights. Works fine
Well our pool has spent plenty of it's life in storage for the winter, and the bottom seam of the tank is leaking a bit. Tiny bit of corrosion in the tank. Still overall functions as intended and painting the interior of the pool would likely mitigate that problem. I still think the whole system is a go, but the saltwater mechanism has become very expensive and hard to find over the years. If I were to do it now I might just use the $20 chlorine float. But the saltwater is nice.

This is fantastic! Have you tried this set up with a water heater - as a hot tub?
How well has this held up for you? We are trying to decide between salt water or chlorine.
We're also thinking about putting in a salt water stock tank pool. How has this held up 2 years on!?

@@MobileDwellings thanks for the update!
Did you have any issues with rust or corrosion from the salt water?
The tank has done fine so far.
