Probably the best audio I have ever heard on this style of a video. Great video.
Andy Fitness thanks! I just happen to have all the right equipment for my full time job 😝
@@LucentProductions That's awesome. Keep up the great work.
What a great project. For those thinking about doing this, pick a sunny spot in your lawn.
Or just put a heater in it cuz then that way you can go in it at any time if the day
Tractor supply genius getting that metal tank pool in you car? Haha! Did you leave the magic out of video? That's what I want to see, loading magic, like woman at home depot asked if I'd help her load full sized/assembled BBQ in her Mercedes 300! Your son & 3yrs is great! Congrats!
This is an excellent informative video. My husband and I are making plans to build it for grandchildren. Thank you so much for the great detail. Your little ones are ADORABLE.
Garry Horn thank you, and good luck with the build! The kids will love it, we had 5 kids at once in ours this weekend!
Just recently found out about Stock Tank Pools and plan on putting one in next spring. Good video, thanks for the help.
Jim Johnson awesome! Totally worth it!
Get a poly stock tank instead of the galvanized. Galvanized metal mixed with chlorine, you will get rust & possible zinc poisoning! Poly plastic is much more durable, won't rust, is UV resistant, DOESN'T LEAK & costs the same. 10'x28" is around $450-500. Can't beat it! Had ours for years & still looks brand new, even in harsh MT winters! Go with the polyethylene stock tank, can't go wrong! Jesus loves you!
We built the exact same pool with identical components. The only difference was where we dug out the grass we had LOTS of tree roots... Pavers sand underneath leveled us off okay. Also I drilled the strainer at the center rather than the bottom ring. incidentally that hole drilling process sucked for us. Broken bits and lots of burned out batteries but we eventually cut the holes out with a separate cutting tool. We did silicone on inside and outside. of the jet/ strainer. no leaks to date. We even used paver bricks all the way around the outside. it took about 5 rows high and used paver caps around the top edge. It really compliments the look of the pool. Maybe something you might add to yours if you're interested. We also used the floater for chemicals the ones that last about a month or so. We built it in the shade so the water has stayed REALLY cool all summer! We had to use some of our water from our hot tub to warm it up HAHA! Anyway thought I would share with you. Nice job on your video. Very informative!
Christopher Crupi awesome, I love hearing everyone’s experience and what they do to make their stock tank pool their own! We just finished building our deck around and it made a big difference in usability for us parents as we can sit with our feet in while the kids swim! Enjoy!!
Great job
Thank you!!
Awesome. I did the same thing. I split different color noodles and fit them arounf the edge. Also my buddy makes pool liners and I laid it inside and pleated the edges for a perfect fit. :)
Vince Caputo awesome that sounds killer!
All you that want an easy pool or pond, go with the poly stock tank instead of galvanized. Very close in price & the poly won't rust or break down. Also, chlorine & pool chemicals will cause the zinc coating to break down & rust! The poly stock tanks are high dense plastic, UV resistant, won't rust, won't give you zinc poisoning & usually have atleast 3 year warrant. Great idea! Got 10' poly stock tank for our ducks! Easy to drain & clean weekly & has lasted years of harsh MT winters! Hope this helps! Jesus loves you!
Jesus loves you too!
Talking about pools and someone has to get religious. There's at least 10 gods. Don't push yours on other people.
The only prob I see with the poly stock tanks here in AZ is the black gets so stinking hot! Do they come in any other colors?
Montana Fishing fuck jesus
Flex seal takes care of your mentioned concerns. bonus is you can choose the color of your pool.
Out of all the videos on this yours was very helpful! Thanks
Glad to hear it, thanks for watching!
Seems like it would help circulation to have the inlet jet further away from the intake vent. Not likely a big issue on a tank this size. Also most swimming pools have the jet lower in the pool so it doesn't need to be up at the top like an actual skimmer would be.
Even with the current configuration, the pool gets some good circulation since it's so small. I typically angle the jet to the side and it actually gives it a slight whirlpool affect!
I love my 100 gal Rubbermaid Stock Tank > It nice lounging around in. I only put about 50 gallons of water in it to be PERFECT HEIGHT 👌 I can drain it to clean it, or run a filter pump on it to save on water
I love the idea you suggested by building a deck around or a seating area that will make it look awesome. the only thing I would have done first is painted the inside with paint designed for pools to avoid rusting. I want one !!
Def thinking about painting ours after this season!
And we DID build a deck! (Link is in the description of this video)
My parents did this for my sister and I but without the filter pump when we were young. We would stand it up and lean it over during the non-Summer months. It was great but we would always get terrible burns from scraping against the bottom and side of the pool.
betsch bb we’ve been using it for a year now, no scrapes or burns!
Im doing this. Quick and not so permanent.
Thank you. Very helpful
Love how you fast forwarded telling the boy to go away😂
:P Just wanted him away from the hot metal flakes that were flying!
Very nice video, should help a lot! Also, nice Trillium beer. Cheers!
No problem! And yes, gotta love being super close to great beer here in MA!
Now I am loved by my family for making this thank you
The Miller man killer!! I def earned some brownie points with the wife!
We have one! We absolutely love it.
you are very good at this
thanks!! :)
You definitely get "cool dad" points.
Haha thanks!!
That was a very good step by step on how to do this! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
He hee i made a simple tarp for mine, from a 55 gal. trash can bag, lay it out on the top rim duct tape it to hold it. THEN duct tape all the way around the top and inside the lip. This act like a rubber band, Then take cloths pen clip around the top to help hold it on. ITS A VERY TIGHT TOP
Excellent explanation and video, Justin. This will be my guide. Thank you.
Thank you!
This was nice. Instruction and good film/sound quality.
Thanks! We do video for a living so we have the right tools!
I followed your instructions
Wow I might do this for my kids
America 1911 45 acp do it! Our kids love it, we spent all day in ours today!
This is such an awesome tutorial. Thanks man
Thank you!!
PRO Tip - put the 2x4 on the 1.5' end and it will have less sag for a better reading.
Good Morning Dad,
Florida Summer is here and the stock tank pool has been great for the 2 year old. Even us adults have been loving it after hours.
Question?
Has anyone found the in tank screw on cleaning hose adapter for the Intex 11235 strainer. The strainer is threaded in two spots.
Every week we end up with that sand pile in the middle of the pool. I shop vac it out, skimmer some out.
I would just like to get a 10 ft hose with a little vacuum brush head and sweep it all up as I retire a filter.
Thanks for your time.
This is awesome, thank you!!
Adrienne Goldberg thanks for watching!
mandatory beer break...good for productivity
Always!! 🍻
Thank you for making these well produced videos. You've helped act as an inspiration for our own stock tank installation and deck build.
One issue which we are currently facing is unsupervised kiddo protection and at the moment we haven't found a nice looking fix. I see within your comment threads that you used a custom mesh tarp. By any chance would you be willing to share any more specifics regarding that?(e.g. manufacturer, style, dimension, securing connections). Thanks in advance!
Working on an update video that will cover our new tarp system, basically got a mesh tarp from TarpSupply.com that has grommets and it is secured with tie-down straps to the deck and ground anchors!
Just posted a picture on the “Community” section of our profile with a picture and details!
Imagine decorateing all that up with hanging light bulbs, ice coolers, tables, some music going and a picture of you and your wife blown up on a stand for an ANNIVERSARY NIGHT. 🤔🤔🤔 I mean really. Lol sorry guys...I'm back ...this is brilliant.!!!!!!!
One of these days I'll do something like that! :)
that's cool you should get a smaller one beside it to make a hot tub
Someday! :P
Have fun guys🙏🙏🙏🙏😷😷😷
Smearing some rubber grease on your orings then seating them on fittings helps them to stay in place
yazlo weshkers good to know!
yazlo weshkers mixing liquid petroleum products with a solid petroleum product will deteriorate the solid product. It’s not advisable.
Gregory Key non petroleum grease
Gregory Key that was sarcasm. So what if the oring breaks down over time? What, you think once you place an oring in a fitting it will last forever! Lol you keep mentoring ppl, you are a genius👍
yazlo weshkers I didn’t comment to start a trolling match! My comment is a easily look-up-able fact.
Hi All. Great instructional video. Bought most everything at Amazon for my own project. But I found the strainer - Intex part number 11235 - on the Intex website for $3.09 plus shipping bringing the cost to $8.55. Much cheaper than anywhere else. Haven’t received the part yet but will let you know if all is good when it arrives.
Good to know, seems like the price has fluctuated a TON on Amazon!
looks good thanks
Looks good. 😎😎😎
Thanks!!
This would make a super cheap patio spa pool if you surrounded it with pavers and coated the interior
I had to fast forward to the end to just see you with your shirt off in the pool...haha
Nice job.. FYI ur amazon links are mostly double the price then buying a kit off amazon.. Again great video!
Thanks for the heads up, I’ll take a look! I know a lot of items on Amazon are much more expensive now compared to when I first made this video since availability is waaaay down.
Awesome job! But how has it not rusted without being painted and the chlorine?
So THIS year we finally got rust in our stock tank pool over the last winter/spring. Didn't do anything different when we close it for the year, so not 100% sure why this year it finally rusted (but not bad after 5+ years of us!). Ended up coating it with Pond Shield and it came out great! amzn.to/3MdSJJv Had plans to film an update video this summer but ran out of time...hopefully this Spring we can show it off in its final stages!
@@LucentProductions very cool!! Would love to see an update! 👍
Oh man, I want a hillbilly swimming pool so bad!
Please keep your children safe and never swim alone. Ever. Also its good to leave a stick on the edge so a squirrel or other critters can get out if they fall in. And welcome to the world of endless pool maintenance.
Cool love it
Thanks!!
This video is very nicely done. Thank you for adding all the links. So helpful. I want one of these. Did the cover stretch out enough that it was easier to get on later?
Laurie Harrison thanks for watching! The cover did stretch out over time and is a bit easier to get on, but still takes two people to get it on as it tends to slip off as you make your way around.
Thank you. Good to know as I am often by myself.
Great video. I am no pool expert, but i would say you would want your outlet at a different place. Your pushing water back in right above where your pump is pulling water out. You want more water to move around/stir up so it cleans. Not immediately sucking out what you pushed in. Just my thoughts, but I really don’t know. Still cool. Good job.
Oh I agree 100%. That’s the one thing I wish I did differently! I think my wife would kill me if I bought another and re-drilled :P
But it still actually creates a whirlpool affect and cleans real well it’s so small. I just have the return jet angled to the side
@@LucentProductions If you have placed it differently, how far apart would you have put the outlet from the inlet? (for example: inlet at the top of the pool, outlet at the bottom but two feet away from the inlet horizontally) (so hard to describe in words!)
The Toy Box even just a couple of feet would prob be good!
Awesome man!
Down Time thank you! 👍🏻
thumbs up but eye protection a must
I see that you left the cap on the air valve on the upper (jet) outlet, I saw another video where they said keep it on lower one and remove from upper. Which is correct ? Great video btw
Honestly not too sure, I just had always left them on 🤷♂️
Nice I like this
What size stock tank? I'm trying to decide between 6 and 8 ft
8’ tank!
Came here cause you have great taste in beer 👌🏼 trillium great choice
Adrian Diaz Hell yeah 🍻 I’m pretty lucky to live 30 min from one of their locations!
I want two. One on top of the othee. Cut the bottom of one and weld it on top other for a deeper one. Would that work?
Random Rebecca I wondered about that too. Also, I wondered if you could use a heat gun, extra polyethylene, & silicone to do the same with a poly stock tank.
failed physics huh
Larry Jacoby of course there would need to be vertical reinforcement fused in places along the sides..if there's even a possibility of this working. I have never, nor will I ever, claim to be an expert in physics. As a matter of fact I never took physics. I get that the tensile strength wouldn't be great enough to contain water without giving way. This was just one of those "what if" conversations.
@@innerchild509 Maybe you could use a wide strip of steel to wrap around the outside at the seam between the top and bottom. Wrapping it around and welding the ends together could provide the support you need at the seam. Or some vertical boards that bridge the horizontal seam with steel rings horizontally around the top and bottom of the boards like a barrel. If you do this you'll have to post a vid.
Did a quick search before watching: Chlorine is corrosive to galvanized steel. First saw the idea when searching for tub sized containers and saw others mention chlorine for their steel tubs.
(Can't watch vid right now at work (no earbuds). If you spoke about this, my apologies.)
A lot of my research mentioned that it would corrode it if the chlorine actually TOUCHED the pool (like if you dumped a granular chlorine in the pool. I just use tablets in the chlorine floater the past few years and havent had any corrosion yet.
I’m curious what makes this “the ultimate” pool build?
How would you heat the water? Is there a filter pump / heater combo? I would hate to drill more holes in the tub for hot water pipes.
Currently don’t heat mine!
Loved your video and I'm starting my pool this weekend!! I plan to use a blue plastic stock tank by Tartar (basically because i want my water to look blue like in a real pool!!). Any thoughts/considerations on using the poly tank versus the galvanized?
Plastic pools are a great alternative if you don’t want to worry about longevity and maintenance! Some people have had rust in theirs (not ours yet thankfully) and I bet the blue will look awesome!
@@LucentProductions Thanks for your reply. I am getting discouraged trying to find the pump you link to. The price on Amazon is obscene!! Almost $350! If you go to the Intex website, everything shows as "unavailable" and when I called Intex I got stuck on hold in a loop and never did talk to anyone. Some of the parts needed are showing on Amazon as out of stock and they don't know when they will be available. Here I thought i was all set for my project but ...... Sigh
How often do you have your pump cycle?
Julee O'Reilly typically when the kids swim, or every few days at a minimum. But don’t run it very long each time cause of the small pool size!
Did this build a few years back but shortly after the pump stopped having good water pressure pushing new water in the pool it trickles in rather that the high pressure it once had ....any ideas? Same set up as yours
My pumped has worked great since day 1! Only time I had slow water pressure was when the filter got REALY clogged. I would check and make sure nothing is clogged (pump/tubes/inlet and outlet) if you haven’t already!
Is it possible to make this into a hot tub?
I think it would take a good amount of modification to keep it constantly warm. (Insulation on the sides/top) but I’ve seen people do it on smaller stock tanks!
Great video, inspired me to get started on this! 2 Questions:
1) How was transporting the tank in the pickup? I have a short bed and about an hour and 15 minute drive to the closest place that has the stock tank. Is that doable? How did you anchor it down exactly since the tailgate needs to stay open and there are no holes to tie anything to?
2) Lasting impression on the 8 ft cover? The next option up on your Amazon link is a 10ft one. I’d like a cover that will be a good fit so it’s not super easy for my 3 and 5 year olds to get into on their own. Thanks a lot!
Transportation was very tricky! I had a small pickup truck and it hung over one side a few feet so I ended up taking back roads for the hr drive home. Just ended up using a handful of tie down straps to secure it.
As far as cover, go 10 foot as the 8 foot is actually less than 8 in diameter. But after the deck build I had a custom mesh tarp made that is anchored to the deck and ground. Much safer and still let’s water through. But for a general cover to help keep debris out, the 8’ intex does a decent job, just no safety benefit.
@@LucentProductions Thanks so much. You don't have a link for the mesh tarp you got do you?
@@ashill34 Ordered through TarpSupply.com here's my notes on the order: "9ft Diameter Full Finished Size of 55% Mesh with grommets every 18inches apart" ended up paying $160 but worth it. Super sturdy and has held up great to being out in the elements.
@@LucentProductions awesome, thanks for the help
@@ashill34 no prob!
Just curious, since the video is almost 3 years old now, how is the pool held up? Has it had any rust in or out? Yah, I know it's galvanized, but that's not full proof, just curious, Still an awesome idea and video. I bet those kids have enjoyed it. It would be a beer drinking pool at my house for sure, haha
It’s held up great, no rust yet! Working on a full “3 year update” video to have out shortly!
And ours is a beer drinking pool too! 🍻
Just ordered it today at T supply haha, imagine that none in stock. Yes we'd love to see the 3 year update for sure, good times I'm sure!
We are planning on putting one in and can't make up our minds if we should use a metal one or plastic stock tank. Has yours rusted since you put it in? Has the chlorine damaged the galvanized metal? Thanks :)
No rust issues after two seasons, but def contemplating some sort of protective coating after this summer.
Thanks for the reply @@LucentProductions ! I'm considering coating it with blue Flex Seal spray before filling it.
My dogs and honeybees would go bananas for this :o
What size is your pool??
It’s an 8 foot tank!
Nice Job Dad!!! I just picked up my 8 ft stock tank and about to copy cat your work.We live in Ormond Beach, Florida so the pool will be used year round.Questions??????1. What would you have done different if you did it again? Bigger pump GPM? Anything?2. How are your pool fittings that you drilled through the tank doing? Any leak problems yet? 3. Did you get the intex cover for it? I'm thinking Florida sun would eat up the Intex cover so I'm going to go custom with less plastic cover and more preventative safety. A custom sail boat style trampoline / 1/4 inch square poly coated netting. Just so happens I'm in the boat biz. An old fashion cargo strap around the tank would hold it tight enough at the rim that the boy could almost walk across it.Any thoughts are much appreciated. I will be ordering my pump / accessories etc... in the next couple weeks. I just put a coating of automotive wax on the out side and bottom of the tank for protection. We live beach side so the salt air is a real concern of mine.Have a great day!!!!!!!
Thanks! I think the big thing I would have done different is relocate the return hose down low as opposed to directly above the outlet hose to the pump. Fittings were super solid with no leaks! (plenty of caulking helped). I would also buy much smaller chlorine tablets. The 3" lasted a while but added too much chlorine in the water so I had to break them up smaller. I bought the Intex cover which does an OK job but I would def like to get something a bit more sturdy that is actually bigger than the tank...I have the same safety concerns with two young kids. Custom sail boat style netting sounds AMAZING, would love to see what it looks like when you're done. Cargo strap is actually a great idea too, I tried to cover ours during the winter but keeping the tarp on posed so many issues with snow/rain.
Hey Dad, How do I contact you by e-mail. I got my proto type of the pool / safety cover done and would like to share some info with you. Now that I see what it is going to require I have re-thought the whole process.
Jason Pinko I think having a salt water filter may be better in the long run than chorine? Would work great with having salty air as well :b
Update on my part.
Even in North Florida the 4 months of our winter are a down time. I Broke every thing down washed and car waxed the galvanized tub. After almost one year I am thinking poly / plastic for the next tub. Tip for the salty stock tank followers............We do live beachside in Florida. Rust and pitting is showing in one year.
The pool pump you recommend gave me a hard time today as the weather is warming up and we are opening the pool. The
The pump clicked on but did not start after all the protocol.. We filled her to the tip top then hit on AND nothing. She clicked a couple more time and nothing.
I will say Intex worked great last season for one season. If we can’t get her pumping by the AM I’m going a different brand with same size pipes.
Thanks for your video as I copy cat your info.
Will update as we are getting our Stock tank pool open for business real soon.
Jason
Took intex 633T impeller section apart this A.M. got dark on me last night.
Turns out a couple of my wives beautiful long blonde hairs was wrapped around the impeller shaft. Took a total of 30 minutes. Disassembly to plugged in and pumping water again.
Great work Lucent and stock tank pool followers team.
I will be updating any and everything right or wrong.
Pool is open!
Jason
How much did it all cost?
Approximately $600 for tank, pump, and all the pump parts. Then you have other accessories and chemicals so just depends on where you buy it all.
Can you provide an itemized parts list please?
Description has all the parts I used!
Did ya get a heater for it?
Get some pool noodles to line the rail, keep the kiddos safe if they slip and hit it.
Do you pool noodle your entire yard? Didn't think so.
Kevin Pfeiffer get some pool noodle s in different colors is the 💣 4sure
@@padkisson26 is the entire yard made of metal?
@@Ceares LMBO!
@@padkisson26 What a stupid comment. What year did you drop out of high school?
4:30 acquired a baby lol
Gotta be careful, they spawn outta nowhere! :P
How much would you say this cost you all together? Where did you get your pump from?
Love this idea!
Full parts list in the description! I would guess in the $600-700 range on total cost.
Lucent Productions Thank you so much!
Links to all materials are in his description...the pump was about $88 dollars.
Nice work. question... we did not order two valves (only one). does it matter if you just connect into the filtration system while the pool is filling (and not use a closed valve to keep the water out)?
The plunger valves' main job is to stop water flow when changing the filter. But I have changed filters before after forgetting to shut the valves off and it's still possible...just gotta move quick so you don't lose too much water! :)
@@LucentProductions. Just move the filter higher than the input hose. Change filter. Relocate filter & turn on.
Great Video but do not drill metal without eye protection folks!
Def don’t follow our lead! 😝
Is there a reason you are using the 2 3/4 inch hole saw and not a 2 1/2" which is what I have already?
I did it! We built our own stock tank pool after watching your tutorial, and took your advise to keep the inlet and outlet low. Thankyou!!
I do have dirt that accumulates otter on the bottom , how do you clean your pool? Any advice?
Often on the bottom
@@reneevasquez6255 Awesome! We don't get TOO much dirt in ours (I have a small foot-wash for the kids before they go in) and just use a pool skimmer to get most stuff out that isn't filtered by the pump.
Hey man, thanks so much for posting this we are stoked! Are there any considerations for equipotential bonding or the like to divert electricity away from the pool and pump? Thanks for your help.
Yes! We have/had plans for all that when our addition is underway and we can have permanent power, but was delayed due to Covid. The pump has a GFCI plug and we also use another GFCI for current power, but plan to make it extra safe when that is all completed. But for now, all plugs/electricity are waaaay far away from the pool!
Follow NEC, pretty sure pool has to be bonded to pump and or grounded
Not sure if anyone had asked yet, but does this require a permit to place in your yard? Or since it’s above ground there’s no need to involve the township?
Also I did read someone’s comment about poly being more efficient vs galvanized due to the chlorine releasing zinc and water rusting the tank. Would that be something to look into? I do like how your stock tank looks with the metal finish but wouldn’t want to it to be toxic down the road. Any input would be appreciated on that.
Awesome video, simple yet very effective even for the people who do not know too much of this type of work. Would love to see your next video on the deck.
Alberto Nicasio permit is based on town/city. In my city, anything over 24” deep requires a fence and pool alarm...thankfully the stock tank 23.5”!
As far as the chlorine/galvanized metal...still researching it, and thinking of possibly having mine coated.
Lucent Productions what would you coat it with? And would you just coat the inside? I read somewhere you could epoxy the inside. Just curious, my husband and I are planning on completing this project in the next few weeks but I’m also concerned about this issue
The Herb Nerd researching options currently! Will report back if I find a good solution!
Permit ? ....just do it and plead ignorance if someone has an issue. This is America and you're talking about a cheap pool....relax , enjoy life and freedom ....its your property do as you wish !!
Hi, We just got a brand new galvanized tank and are working to fill it up, but when testing it water is coming out. We think it’s from the seam. With it being new, we don’t have any rust but I’m curious if you found anything to coat yours with that might also help w seam leaks. Thanks for the awesome tutorial!
Did you removed black cap of sir valve
Did your strainer knot come with the filter pump? Is hose adapter another term for strainer knot?
One nut came with the pump, but had one to buy one more for the inlet strainer.
Split you some noodles for the rim to protect the kiddos !
On the list of things in the next video!
Do you have to put chlorine in it?
yes! Not as much as reg sized pool but it def needs chlorine to keep it clean!
Why not an inflatable intex pool?
Cause this won’t pop 😉
What hole size did you use for this pump? I receive the same 1 thanks 😊
Nice work, thanks for the video. We are working on one here in the Catskills and I'm wondering - how strong is your drill and what kind of hole saw bit is that? Asking because in surveying a few videos, there seems to be agreement that getting the holes in the galvanized steel is one of the hardest parts of this project. Will appreciate your reply very much! Back to home Depot tomorrow ...
Awesome! The toughest part of the whole process was actually leveling the ground! Drilling holes wasn’t too bad honestly, prob took about 30-60 seconds for each hole. Smooth and steady and not too much pressure and you’ll be golden. I can’t remember which one I got but I got mine at Home Depot as well. As long as it’s 2 3/4” and for metal you’ll be fine. 👌🏻 good luck!
I want to put one in. What was the size of your stock tank. I tried the link but it doesn’t work.
It’s an 8’ tank!
Very nice, I may have missed it, but what are the dimensions of this tank WxHxL?
It’s 8’ in diameter and just under 2’ deep!
@@LucentProductions Got it, thank you sir!
Is there a way to put a skimmer in this? We will be using a pvc tank as lots of problems with rust here.
Linda Ebbert haven’t thought of it since it’s so small, and using a hand skimmer doesn’t take much time!
Some are made of galvanized steel. They are made to sit full of water in a field... don't think it will rust for a while...
Those don’t have chlorine and bromine eating at it
how did you transport this in a truck?
Barely and very carefully! It hung over a bit on one side and had to take all backroads!
quick question.. do you keep the pump running 24/7? or can you turn it off when the pool is not in use?
Nope! Pool size is so small i'll typically either run it when the kids go in, or every few days if it hasnt been used.
How do you keep the kids safe when pool is not in use? Drain it? Or lid? Or fence?
Sherri Fdean I had a custom cover made that attaches to the deck we built, and anchors in the ground! *think of a heavy duty trampoline cover that lets water through* We have a second video coming out (at some point!) for the deck build which might give you a better idea.
Well crap thats a great idea lol oh and a FYI WHEN UT COMES WINTER YOU CAN ACTUALLY TURN THAT PIOL INTO A JACUZZI OHHH YEAHH.LOL GREAT JOB
Jacquelyn Gonzales haha thanks!!
What was the total cost?
I THINK it was prob around $700ish dollars after tank, pool, and parts!
Pool under trees and shrubbery?
Sharvo Sharvo It’s next to the shrubs/trees but not directly under. And they provide good shade!
Question, you mentioned about the pump holes being located elsewhere. I was thinking of putting the pump in the middle of the pool (instead of the water line) but still above the filter. Do you think that will matter?
Donnie Todd I would prob move them more apart if I were to do it again. I think because you’re not sucking water right back in that just came out of the pump/filter. Prob helps with better circulation of water (although the pool is so small it doesn’t take much to filter it)
I saw some others that have them one on each side of the tank. i guess that's the way to go, setting up mine today so I want to make sure its all good! Thanks!
Donnie Todd good luck, you got this!
10' poly tank will run roughly $400-$500. Same as the galvanized, but will last much longer & wont rust or give you zinc poisoning! Read comment below!
What is zinc poisoning? We have a smaller stock tank, the oval one, for just two of us to cool off. Bought it brand new. But there is a VERY THIN layer of some sort of film on our water that doesn't go away. It's not an oil, but responds like oil when we touch the water. Wondering if maybe it's a chemical reaction from the chlorine tablets and the metal???
I set it up exactly how you had it, but plunger valves is leaking water coming out to top of it.. I have it vertical, and it's shooting up from the top (the handle which opens and close the water stream). It's the one valve that is at the top of the tank. Anyone have any ideas on what I did wrong? I'm clueless. This was pushing my mechanical limits as it is. haha!
That valve shouldn’t be leaking water, especially at the handle that stops/opens the flow of water. Might be time to warranty/return that valve sadly :(
