- How to turn a steel water trough into an above ground pool with a sand filter.
*Please note: Between minutes 1:00 - 3:00, our backyard chickens decided to start laying eggs and their accompanying squawks can be heard. To make light of the situation, we added a graphic chicken pop up in post-production. We realize the chicken squawking is distracting. Due to the many comments about the chickens, and visitors not being able to find pertinent info about the video, we are now moderating comments so that visitors can easily find information about stock tank pools. If you leave a comment solely about the chicken noises or graphic, we will remove it.
Here are the things that we used to make it work. Before you buy from Amazon, be sure to check with your local pool supply company. We found better prices on several of the things we needed from our local pool store.
The pump we used is this one: amzn.to/2WWDT27
The outlet and valve that we used: amzn.to/2Zv6Io4
The additional shut off valve we used is this one (only comes in a 2 pack and you only need one) amzn.to/3ebap6u
Sand for the filter: amzn.to/3ghBTJt
The hole saw we used: amzn.to/3bUQIyd
My Gramps had 48 head of Beeffalo hybrid and two huge stock tanks. That's two pools and 48 cattle as witnesses to fun you can have creating whirlpools by walking and then running as fast as you can around in circles at the edge until the water and you are going there same speed! Then plop down flat on your back and enjoy the ride.. my bull Redman used to come up to the side and run around as I floated by... Good times. Miss my Gramps.
I had one of these growing up. We learned quickly which direction to swim around the pool so we didn't take any skin off scraping against the overlaped seam. LOL
My Gramps brazed the seam smooth said it was the spot the would deteriorate first. So ours had a brass seam. Shiny gold color..
I put mine buried in the ground 8 years ago. Poly tank. Every pool I’ve had always had the inlet to the filter low and the out up high. No rust, no seems, stays cool and easy care. I put decks around it and a pvc pipe in the ground to put an umbrella in. 8 years and never a problem.
Poly as in plastic?
@@Frank020 yes
Adorable doggy’s 🐾🐾 😊🙏😁
Bromine is an alternative to bromine that sanitizes as well as chlorine but is less caustic on plumbing and skin. Not nearly as stinky either. We use bromine in our hot tub and it works great. (FYI for the commenter below who asked about salt v chlorine...) BTW, great video. Thanks for sharing!
I swam in one of these as a young girl. The memories. We didn't have a filter, we just filled it up with the hose. lol
Genius, no rust, no liner,great idea. Pool SAND everyone, NOT Play sand.
Growing up in the late 60s early 70s our pool was a large stock tank, it was perfect for us 4 kids
This was an awesome idea..... wish I wold have known about this yrs ago when I had 5 Newfoundlands. Trying to keep them cool in the summer with out a pool was a chore.
Omg, we’ve been doing that for at least 58 years now !
Frank Kelly I had one growing up! Daddy brought an old tank home from his uncles farm, spread a thin layer of cement on the inside, put brick around the outside, added a big old brass drain and me and all the kids from the neighborhood played in it all summer long for many years! Hope to have one in my backyard this time next year!
The pump is a great addition; so many fun memories swimming in the stock tank my dad got. the chicken pop up was pretty funny.
And distracting
Awwwwwww. Your doggy is the perfect helper!
You can really tell how many folks are unhappy with themselves! Just read their comments. The chickens are great and what a wonderful project 😎👏🏽
Yes, thank you
That's how every farm boy in Namibia grew up - it was usually placed right next to the Wind pump in order to fill it up continuously.
Cracking me up with those chickens.
That’s a cool way to stay cool....I really like the industrial look, too. Good job!
Glad you enjoyed it
I beat you with this project, had a stock tank pool in 1969!! Of course I grew up on a farm with 100 head of cattle but we had our own stock tank as kids, about the same size as yours!
I played in a stock tank as a kid too! I think it is great! Also, you are the cool parents!
Awesome thanks for sharing, Sand pump is definitely the way to go
Definitely!
And I was shopping for a over priced hot tub. I live in East Tennessee. I'll call it my hillbilly pool. Great idea!!! 👍🏼😊
In Phoenix the pool temp goes about 90’f. Tap water goes 80’f; cold when it’s 115, so just drain it and use the water in the garden and fill it up when you want to use it.
Hey Phoenix we are in sun City 🖐️
We are in our third year of a stock tank pool. Last fall the pool started to rust. This spring we raptor lined it in blue. the old intex fitting for the outlet cracked upon installation. We ordered new fittings but not intex. The 1.5" intex outlet is now very difficult to find and extremely expensive. I think at this point we have one of the most expensive stocktank pools on the planet. lol
Its a dog pool for our 4 boxers so its completely worth it.
Oh no! Sorry. That's good to know about the outlet. We are almost on one year with the pool now and so far, all is good. No rust. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Just told my friend yesterday she should go to Tractor Supply for a tank. She usually hits the water park every day, but of course that's closed.
Please ground your electric and use a GFI outlet/breaker in box to plug that pump in to. Safety first.
There is a GFCI breaker built into the pump.
Hahaha. I love this video. Those chickens cracked me up. I totally thought you added that sound until I read the description.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lol, I did too! 😂
I swear you tube listens to my conversations lol. I just did the same exact thing with plastic stock tank... same gallons too. I was wondering what pump to get for it. Thanks for the video
I would be careful adding anything with electricity to a metal tank filled with water! Nice pool! I need one for my grandkids! I think a plastic one would be perfect for me, because my grandkids would hirt themselves on metal! lol! Thanks for sharing!
I love backyard chickens!
Why would anyone be bothered by it?
Hello, fellow UA-camr here from Corpus Christi! New Subscriber!
Hello there!
We had one here in Australia when I was a kid!
Great idea, we’ve been talking about doing this! An extra thumbs up for capable girls! Like my wife! 😊
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you so much for the video! Very informative, and omg the little chicken animation that kept popping up when your hens where talking 😆😆. Thanks again!
Thanks! Glad you liked it. Our chicken laying eggs in the background was not ideal, but we thought the funny graphic chicken would be appreciated.
Use those noodle pool toys ,cut a slit all the way down them ,then wrap the very top all way around..;)
Too funny.
Was just going to say the same. Dollar General usually has them for very cheap.
LOL the kids cant wait for the pool, awesome. Reminds me of my son
Wow really love this idea! Definitely on my list for when I finally get settled and find my forever home.❤️ Thanks so much , love your channel!
You are so welcome!
New to Dallas from Colorado and I’m going to do this is my new backyard! Thanks for the help
This made me smile! Thank you. Very cool idea!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video and a job well done. You're a good mommy.
I actually have a POLY Plastic stock tank, but I use it for the dogs to jump in and out of, and on really hot days, I jump in too...lol, I drain the water and then refill. When I and the dogs use it. The tank will last for years. Great idea!
Incredibly thorough and well done. Thank you.
Would have been nice to know how much you spent on the entire project. Even better would have been a breakdown of parts, but for the most part awesome durable backyard pool. If I could only talk my wife into letting me do it without constant arguing my life would be complete.
Compromise is the solution if it makes you happy that’s what should matter. I can’t image constant arguing- yuck!
Marry me, I won't argue with you about it! I'd love to have one of these in my backyard!
8 ft stock tank runs about $389-399. The pool pumps price depend on which you purchase, warning they are almost all out of stock due to covid and the ones available are 2 or 3x higher on amazon rn. If you level area where you place tank like we did with sand it was $45. There are ways to heat and make a hot tub for winter. Correct ways that are safe. We also lined inside of ours with pond shield epoxy (sky blue color) meant for water use. Turns to a plastic like coating. It was $65. Required prep. These pools last years if well kept.
You better MAKE SURE all of the steel fittings and the tank are GROUNDED/BONDED with min 8 gauge solid copper wire. Use a bonding bar and make sure it all ends with a deep solid copper plated grounding stake. If you don't do this, this is a potential death trap if something conduction electricity hits that steel tank.
Na they want to be cool and do what the country kids been doing for years let them be. 🔌🛀
@@dzlf2504 fair enough. cool project, until the garden extension cord shorts to the tub. seriously, be safe. ground the tub.
Great idea. How could anyone give this a thumbs down?
I'll be rite over this afternoon....!!.....Cool Pool....!!!
A few days ago, I was speaking with my dad. I claimed how summer, was going to begin soon. He gave me this idia
we had a custom fiberglass stock tank made. the owner (lady) of the stock tank company said granddparents sometimes have one made. 4 feet deep 10 feet almost 2500 gallons. they put a smooth finish and made it dark green we wrapped it with reed fencing. its in the back yard where we can see the kids from inside. we fill it with well water. lasts over a week with no chlorine. then we put chorine floaters in. hang a hose pipe over the willow tree from a harbor freight pump (they call it dirty warter in our case it isnt) submersible to aireate it. we put a plastic sprinkler in the bottom barely revolving. about every month and a half we empty it wash it down. let it dry and start over our granddaughters love it. cost around $1600. the airerating pump was around $60 the sprinkler less than $4.
Pretty cool, nice job.
Good video! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
love this video will look at more
I would add that the rubber gasket and O-rings could use a little bit of petroleum jelly. It helps to prolong rot and helps to seal
Thanks!
Also paint a little bit were you cut to prevent rust.
I’ve been telling all my friends about this they think I’m crazy if you spray with the white flex seal you keep from burning your self
I had a friend years ago do it and in the winter it’s like a hot tub if it is in the sun and perfect for those yucky nites
I was just thinking the same thing... Flex Seal
I wonder about tiling it like you would a pool to keep it from rusting
Just paint the inside LIGHT BLUE with strong oil based exterior paint. Done.
thats impressive how you just knew how to set up the hardware...i woyld be compketely lost and not even sure if my small town would have the supplies...
thanks. I'm pretty handy but I did have the help and support of my husband on this one!
I liked it, although I can see where there might be a few questions about grounding. On the other hand, I can also see why some people turn off comments on their videos; awful lot of critical folks out there that are not putting out videos for others to learn something.
Hope you enjoyed your 'pool' over the summer... :)
nice job!! A real nice light blue sealant paint on the inside would be nice and it would also seal-off any potential leaks/rust ;-)
Hell yes, you are my kind of woman 👍🏻Nice!
Wow, thanks!
Will the chlorine rust or eventually react with the galvanized metal? Otherwise it's a cool idea.
Sure it will
From other videos they do rust, paint chips due to it being galvanized metal, but I saw one where she applied pond shield epoxy that is specifically for under water. We tried it and it turns to a plastic like coating for that extra protection. It requires light sanding and and other prep as well. It’s sky blue so looks great.
My son made him a hot tub using a galvanized water trough. works good
That is so smart
Buy a tarp and make a round cover for when not in use.
What a great idea! Thx for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
i thaught the chickie was funny. cool video
I learned to swim in one of these!!!
I assume that the discharge fitting would not fit higher up(looks like it may have had enuff area just under the top rail)would have been best for aereation plus if you have a skimmer the skimmer would work more efficient from the ripples on the water. but main thing is the kids are happy!!! GROUND THE POOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You make a great point about aeration. I put an elbow on my daughter's pool and aimed it up slightly to break the return stream open to the air. It really works well and seemed to keep algae growth down some, too.
We've always used a stock tank. Our's is 16 ft.
Bugzy Malone i would love a 16 ft one 👍🏼
How much does it cost for a tank that large
What a great idea!👍🤩
Awesome job
Thanks!
I more reason to read descriptions.. Chicken graphics added..as live chickens cannot be hushed. Lol!
THANK YOU!
Tank can alternatively be used as a giant deep dish pizza pan
What a good idea!
Love this idea!
Thank you! 😊
We used an old plastic one at my grandparent's. It took years for the chlorine to give it trouble.
I lov the pool
Did this lady just pull a knife out of her pocket!? Awesome!
Good for you - good job
Thanks!
I would add a pond liner to the bottom of that or you could even tile the bottom if ya wanted to.
Great idea. Now you got me thinking about doing something similar. I wonder if this could be made into a hot tub? Plus is you want to dress it up you could add some cedar with bands.
Great idea.
Yeah that is an awesome idea
The stock tank was built in the city I live in.
Your chicken is ticked she can't swim with you. 😂
The filter is $500 and the pool is $400-500,and fittings whatever. I would do that for a goldfish pond. Water plants,look great. Be hard for predators to get to the fish unlike in ground small pools.
Haha I've slammed my head on the walls of these pools since I was a kid
Slit a pool noodle lengthways and install on upper lip to keep that from happening!
That's the only pool we had when i was a kid but without the pump....
I think i would choose the polymer troughs today instead of the galvanized one
Why would you choose to use the polymer ones instead? I'm just very curious.
@@jackielankford5761 you can actually get galvanized poisoning....guys who work on cell phone towers all day get that
@@dieselcowboy777 omg that's scary and good to know. Thanks for the info. I was seriously toying with the idea of using a galvanized stock tank as a tub/shower in my trailer remodel.
dieselcowboy777 you could also line the tank with a tarp or something. I’d line the inside with a tarp and add some kind of outer facade to make it look nicer.
With a pond liner maybe???
I would just fill it up and call it good 😂
Can use a much smaller and cheaper filter if one wants. Intex type a or c
Brilliant..🥰so borrowing your idea..
Enjoy!
Love it great idea.
I love it! Any way to cool down and have fun...is the bomb! Sooooo cool! No pun intended!!! one thing...Chlorine is a corrosive....So how long with that thing last? Not for long!
How many gallons of water ?
Great video. Well done. New sub here!
Thanks!
If you just want it for three months out of the summer and you don’t wanna mess with the pump do you just add chlorine
Summer in Texas is March - October - ha! And we're currently using it as a cold plunge pool and hope to continue to do this all winter so we're gonna keep it on the pump.
Thank you so much for the video! Are you concerned that it may gets rusty? Thank you
Hello! See my most recent video - we tackle the rust question.
Is that a Tula hat? Nice video on this hot Chicago day.
We live out in the country. We've been doing this for years.
Thank you for sharing. Been looking to do something similar
Glad it was helpful!
Very impressed!
Thanks!
Say, I think perhaps go ahead and coat the new stock tank with epoxy first before installing everything else then maybe the rust won't be an issue?
What is that they say about hindsight? :)
Awesomeness......
Thanks!
Only in Austin!
One of the coolest and most unique cities in the world!
Lovely 😀😀😀 I am desperate to find this here in France but I believed doesn't exist here. 😣😣
I'm not sure. Maybe they use them on farms? They are originally used for water for cattle.
@@austinediblegardens i know, I live in a countryside in France and I ha e seen a small ones in the farms but not a big ones. Tks🌷
Good.Job 👍🏾
Thank you! 🤗
Good for you.
Can’t you have it delivered? And why mess with pumps? Just fill with water and enjoy. 🤓
