Geaux Tigers!!!! Nice job on the drain hole!

[@SteadyStreaminCashios]

Yes Geaux Tigers!! Thanks for watching!

[@4skully]

@@SteadyStreaminCashios yeah no one else who has put a video up of a stock pool ever thought of that or did not mention it fantastic!! I think I am going to be making one next year of things do not get more covid crazy!! peace to you and your family!

[@fotogal13]

I've been watching a lot of these videos and yours is the first showing to make the drain hole. Seems like a really good idea!

[@SteadyStreaminCashios]

Glad it helped! Good luck on yours

[@kimbwf629]

Yes I noticed the same! Good call!

[@le8026]

I’ve looked at a lot of videos, and Zack’s clearly worded, clear video, with the parts list is exactly what I needed. No one else I saw was this detailed or helpful Great work Zack!

[@kolilagephart3766]

Last day of summer kids out of the pool catfish go in . it's a real good prepper to have that much water on hand.

[@carolinejeanallincarolj]

Very informative and thank you very much

[@fotogal13]

I also appreciate you showing an alternative to chlorine.

[@clasijuls1]

great idea

[@SteadyStreaminCashios]

Thanks!

[@nancysala7769]

This is probably the best stock tank pool video I’ve seen. I realize it was done a few years ago, and some of the links for supplies don’t work. Would you be able to update to comparable supplies or where to buy your recommended products.

[@loreleicybuch3450]

yes!!! I love my stock tank. I bought it at the end of summer last year to see if I'd like it. Now I am watching videos, lol, They are not this great. Updates us!

[@sherrieblake8674]

Thank you!

[@avekemper4450]

I need that vacuum. Where did you get it

[@SteadyStreaminCashios]

Home Depot!

[@lisagregory7315]

Awesome!

[@monicaesteves806]

What do you think about spraying flex seal inside? Would protect against rusting? Thanks 😊

[@SteadyStreaminCashios]

Could help, we haven’t had any signs of rusting though.

[@tinachalifour4256]

Do you have well water?

[@dustinsenella3284]

I see the return jet but not the strainer you recommend. Am I missing it? Thank you.

[@fromculttothetruegospel]

So....are the inlet and outlet suppose to be directly above and below each other? I'm thinking they are suppose to be a distance from each other..?

[@SteadyStreaminCashios]

A year later and we haven’t had any issues at all.

[@MrSweeps1965]

Do you have a printable parts list? I want to do this project. I have the perfect spot for one. Also could you tell me more about a more permanent base that you were talking about? Thanks! Awesome project!

[@SteadyStreaminCashios]

Hey there, in the videos description there a products used with links for you to view and purchase. I’m not quite sure as to the permanent base you are referring to off the top of my head!

[@davidmonahan6705]

Curious how cleaning/changing the filter is going. We've got an inflatable one and are looking to take the filter to a stock tank, but the inlet and outlet valves have stoppers to keep the water in while doing pump maintenance. I really like the setup here though, and am curious how you keep the water in while working on the pump and filter. Thanks for sharing!

[@SteadyStreaminCashios]

So we have some pine trees close by and it’s pretty windy at times where we live. I change the filter about every 2 weeks just because it gets clogged a bit and you can tell when the valve doesn’t push water out as hard as it should.

[@le8026]

My solution to clean the filter. Lift the Intex filter pump up just above the level of the inflow water line (the outflow line will be below the inflow line, so no problem there). I set the little Intex pump on a table next to the pool. My table has a slight edge on it, so it catches the edge of the pump, and the pump stays right there solid while I open it, clean the filter with the water hose, and put the filter back in, tighten up, place the filter pump back on the patio. Done. You might want someone to hold the filter pump on your table so it doesn't fall off while you clean the filter. Another workaround to make that Intex pump limp along a little longer. My Intex 300 gph has lasted four seasons, but I think some impellers are broken so now I have to tap the pump on the patio to shake the broken impellers to the bottom of the impeller casing so they are out of the way of the existing impellers. I haven't been able to buy an Intex pump this season - China's production stopped for quite a long time.

[@emmelynstieb6561]

Great video! We are adding a stock tank pool to our Airstream rental in Texas - so finding this video and hearing you mention Airstreams was fun! Debating hydrogen peroxide in a pool that would be used by guests. Do your kids rinse off before they get in, and how dirty does it look over time? Thanks so much!

[@SteadyStreaminCashios]

Hey, we make sure feet are clean and free of debris/grass before they get in. The hydrogen peroxide has worked well for us. It has been hard to find since it was used a lot during 2020 for medical reasons. We also purchased a small Ryobi pool vacuum to keep it clean. It has worked well for us. Good luck with the Airstream rental, that sounds super fun!

[@emmelynstieb8307]

@@SteadyStreaminCashios thanks so much!!! I think we're going to try salt water for now, and see how it goes!

[@billmoore6688]

Do you still have the pool vacuum and do you like it? Where did you purchase it? Thanks

[@SteadyStreaminCashios]

Yes I do still have the vacuum. It was an easy buy for me as I already had other Ryobi battery tools. But for the size of the pool it works great. If I let the pool go too long it might take a few rounds of dumping and going back at it. But the battery lasts a long time and it seems to be holding up well! Thanks for watching! And I purchased online at HomeDepot

[@user-fm6wu3zr9o]

Nice pool, he looks kinda like billy zane

[@glc1311]

Would you mind explaining why you put the intake and output right on top or each other? In every other stock tank pool tutorial I’ve seen them separate them, putting a hose on each side (opposite directions) the same way they are installed on intex above ground pools . Thanks! Great video! We are gonna do hydrogen perioxide.

[@SteadyStreaminCashios]

I saw no problem in having them one above the other. I just knew the hoses couldn’t be kinked and needed to be stretched out. We have not had any problems with the pool as of yet. The hydrogen peroxide has worked wonderfully as well! Good luck with yours! And thanks for watching!

[@glc1311]

Steady Streamin Cashios thank you! Worked out great for us! Been going for about 3 days now, we went chlorine tablets route. Our ph is kinda high. Any tips on how much baking soda to add when the ph is about 8? We have the smaller 5ft stock tank that caps put around 400 gallons full. Thanks!

[@lisagregory7315]

Very nice 👍! Is there anything you can’t build out & make it awesome? 😎

[@SteadyStreaminCashios]

I think Zach is pretty amazing too!

[@bloodmerchant4960]

It dont rust?

[@texaslinux]

We are thinking about getting one of these. Is it still working out for you? Do you use it regularly? Anything you would have done differently now that you had it a while?

[@SteadyStreaminCashios]

This is our second season using it. We’ve had no issues. Our kids swim in it daily!

[@roseanncrane4832]

How do you ground pool?? Thank you.

[@juliehumphries2178]

Such a helpful video! We're trying to decide between peroxide combination or chlorine. Curious, how's the peroxide working?

[@SteadyStreaminCashios]

it has been great! No problems what so ever with pool or water!

[@ashleysikel8509]

We're going to try hydrogen peroxide in our stock tank pool this summer. Has the price gone up on it since you started with it?

[@jessicakramer8311]

What website did you get the information for natural pools from? We have chlorine in our pool, does it need to be completely gone before adding the peroxide?

[@SteadyStreaminCashios]

Hey, in the description below there’s a website named “hunker” that mentions how to alter Ph and about peroxide. And as far as the chlorine being completely gone I am not sure, but I don’t see what peroxide couldn’t help

[@monicamalave8359]

How do you figure out how much Borax and/or baking soda you need to add to adjust the pH? I set up mine used it one day and the next it was already very cloudy and the pH levels are too high. I put chlorine tablets the second day of having it, not sure if that messed it up or what. Would like to try your alternative.

[@monicamalave8359]

I read the article but it doesn't say how to go about switching from chlorine to this alternative. I'm currently also using chlorine and would like to switch. Let me know what works for you as far as switching right away or waiting until the chlorine dissolves and maybe the levels show none...

[@jcaro78]

So you didn’t use sealant just the tape right? I saw you linked a sealant in the description.

[@SteadyStreaminCashios]

Yes I did just use the tape. The tape filled the gaps well and I wasn’t concerned. It has not leaked either. The sealant was an incase. Thanks for watching

[@strfish7]

Where did you get the strainer inlet?

[@SteadyStreaminCashios]

It’s linked in the description!

[@strfish7]

@@SteadyStreaminCashios I see the return jet, but not the strainer inlet.

[@strfish7]

@@SteadyStreaminCashios Ahhh, a 1 1/4 inlet. I was looking for the 1 1/2. Also, unobtanium, as all the inlet strainers are right now. But thank you for your response. I enjoyed your video.

[@LadiesofPurposeTV]

Great stock tank video! Thanks for sharing;). I’m trying to decide between metal & poly one. Concerned about zinc leashing from galvanized one, did you do any research on that? I think it’s great you’re using peroxide, I didn’t know that was an option. Chlorine makes me sick. Thanks for that tip too. How’s your stock tank holding up this spring?

[@SteadyStreaminCashios]

Hey. We did not look into the zinc. We have loved the peroxide. We continue to check the levels for it and the ph level. It’s been great, we drained it for the winter and just cleaned and started it back up! Everything look great.

[@LadiesofPurposeTV]

@@SteadyStreaminCashios Awesome review! I appreciate the reply. 2 local tractor supply stores have either the poly or metal. If I don’t buy one or the other they will be gone and who knows if they will get anymore before summers over. Lol

We got ours from tractor supply!

[@jmy7799]

Same here ... Tractor Supply sold out!!

[@le8026]

Agri Supply also is sold out, because they weren’t being produced for a few months. I’m told they’ll start shipping again by the end of the year. Shortage was b/c of virus with so few workers at production factories.

[@impalervlad1456]

The link to read as to why you guys opted to avoid the salt water chlorinator is no longer active...

[@totes83]

About how often do you have to add hydrogen peroxide after the initial time?

[@SteadyStreaminCashios]

We bought test strips on amazon to tell us how much hydrogen peroxide is in there. We’ve only added it once since May!

[@mattwilliams489]

Inlet and strainer should not be in same area for best filtration. The strainer should be approx 1/3 of the way around from the inlet.

[@SteadyStreaminCashios]

It’s such a small space we’ve had no issues with filtration.

[@dini1046]

How did you transport the stock tank?

[@SteadyStreaminCashios]

as in when we purchased it?? A trailer

[@jessicalazaro418]

Love this! How is the cleanliness thus far with the hydrogen peroxide? We are debating on a pump for our plastic stock tank we just bought, but.... covid19 has all pool pumps on some serious price gouging. 😭

[@SteadyStreaminCashios]

The peroxide has done great!! Just had to add a tad bit of borax at the beginning but that’s all. It has been very easy to keep up with!

[@itsme-gp2qv]

How do you know when to refill some hydrogen peroxide?

[@joescalley]

How often and how much hydrogen peroxide do you find you're having to add? I'm trying to estimate a bulk order of 35% hydrogen peroxide but like everything these days its in short supply and high demand and expensive.

[@SteadyStreaminCashios]

We’ve only added it twice so a gallon has lasted us!

[@soulfulsavage]

Brass and galvanized dont mix.

Well 2 years and still no issues. Thanks for warning
