I also found to use elbow pvc pipe to hook onto the pool then attach a straight pipe to go down into the tub. I also like the fountain look as well. Thanks to you I have enough information to make my purchase. I don't want to drill either. Please keep sharing updates.

Liked seeing the parts. I have just picked up a 8 ft. poly stock tank and changed the drain plug for a 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 male cam lock with a cap for now. When the pump and filter arrive the drain will feed the pump and I like your led fountain feeding the pool.

Kick back, relax, & enjoy!❤👍❤👍 PS, sometimes a little Lego piece can make the perfect spacer. Also, sometimes a thin dime can do the job of a flat head screwdriver! That's old school I learned from my grandpa. Lol🙂😉👍

[@mini_worx]

You both are a great couple. It truly felt like I was listening to friends of mine talk. Earned yourself a new sub. I drilled holes onto my stock tack pool but I won't have the need for livestock in the future, unless my wife gets her way and gets a whole bunch of sheep like she wants 🤷‍♂️🤦

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

Aww! Thanks so much! It has taken 26 years to get to the point where we can work together to put something together!! HAHA! Thank you so much for coming over to our channel! I really appreciate your sweet message!

[@carolynmesser7199]

The hose actually worked now that’s unusual lol at least when we are doing things. That is a nice waterfall 💦

[@lisatrent3186]

Just adding I found a magnet with a Velcro strap for intake instead of rock on Amazon. I used the rock for a month or so . I did bye the pump And waterfall u have .

[@AshGreen359]

I'm using hose clamps with a magnetic clip to hold the intake hose in place

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

That’s such a great idea!

[@rp17rionda]

I refuse to drill holes too.. i love your videos

[@grumpy3543]

If you split a piece of radiator hose and slip it over the side of that stock tank I think it would work better for the mount.

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

Thats a great idea!! We have tried all kinds of things!

[@FREEDOMREDBIRD]

That’s really cool!I need a tank now lol what are you using to clean it?

[@rp17rionda]

The your pump is positioned? Does it get filled up with water? I have the same.. not on the floor like usual.. its only filled halfway but is working good..

[@larryfulmer]

Add pool filter sock to your skimmer and it will catch the even smaller stuff.

[@NoneyaTexasontheback20]

😂. Nice👍

[@pattyprice2644]

Chrissy Will you have to take it down this winter

[@kswank9965]

Hi! Do these rust inside? I found some at D&B that are galvanized. Is that the way to go and does it need to have epoxy rolled on it?

[@KatieGarcia101]

use a pool noodle to make it fit on the side. just cut it short and a slit so it grips the pool

[@AshGreen359]

Which filter pump are you using?

[@boyzee01]

Great video's, question i have is where did you get and what type of pump are you using for you pool, many thanks Andy in Georgia.

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

In the description of this video I have a list and link of all the items we used;)

[@MonetTash]

Love your video I just have one question how do y’all get the water to flow into the filter? I have a large pool with a new liner but I can’t get any water flow to the filter without poking holes an I don’t want to put holes in the new liner?! If you could tell me how you have yours it’ll really help me out!!!

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

It’s a pain, you have to prime it so pretty much lift it above your head and run the hose in it until it forms a suction once it does it’s perfect. You can hear the difference in the filter noise.

[@esthermayorga279]

Does the pool pump filter have to be running continuously for the waterfall to work? I thought you weren’t supposed to be in the pool while the filter is running? I’m getting a stp in a couple of weeks and want a waterfall so bad!

[@BRAV-lm6xk]

The blue insert in the skimmer basket can only be 2 to 3 inches above the top edge of the outer basket or it doesn’t skim properly. Speaking from experience!

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

This is the CONNECTOR PIECE I used for the SKimmer!! THanks to an amazing viewer that finally found the piece!! amzn.to/3OfSBeg

[@melanie9allen958]

I really like your setup without drilling holes. I recently bought a poly stock tank pool by Intex. It has a rim that is flat and wider instead of rounded. Do you think the hanging brackets on the strainer and waterfall are adjustable enough for my pool. I don't want to drill holes either if I can help it. Also, I saw a video of another you tuber that has connecter piece and he mentions where he got if from.

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

We have to put rubber tube behind the clamp to make it a thicker area to clamp, I want to say the lily pools have a thicker rim?

[@bethglass9878]

Can you tell me where that other tuber got his connector piece? I have the same problem with the skimmer not connecting to the pump hose.

[@melanie9allen958]

I looked on the Intex pool website and called them. I told them the type & model of my Intex filter and they assisted me with ordering the additional parts I needed. I think the part Jeremy said she found in the shop is called a Threaded Strainer Connector. At least that's what its called for an Intex 1500 filter. There's a picture of it on the website under parts for a 1500 filter. I don't know why everything you need isn't included. Also if you look in the filter instruction book it tells you everything you need to set it up. Mine also said which parts were not included. I also ordered shut off valves to attach to the hoses in case I decide to drill holes in the pool. Good luck to us both. I'm setting my poly stock tank pool up tomorrow. 😅. Thanks for the helpful video.

[@BonesBackyardHomestead]

do yall still have this waterfall in use? how has it held up?

[@ronvoll6748]

We tried the same intex pump with the hoses over the top of the stock tank but the pump wouldn't prime itself. If we primed it and got good flow, as soon as it turned off for a second, it lost prime and would not regain it. I've looked for airleaks everywhere, sealed every joint with silicon but there don't appear to be any air leaks. Did you have any trouble with it self priming or should I expect it to pick up prime on its own?

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

Mine stays primed, so when I turn it in it goes automatically. Now when I clean the filter, it takes forever to prime. I have to hold the inlet hose straight and move the pump down to water level and back, sometimes I have to pull the skimmer up quick with water in it to make it prime too

[@kevinthompson7459]

Im looking for that adapter that connects the hoses for your floating surface skimmer, the one that you had hoarded away. Do you have any idea what that's called or where I could find it? Thanks!

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

I dont :( I went to the local pool store and I did see them pre cut with fittings in packages or you can have them cut them from rolls, to the size you need. Its a ribbed clear probably 2" or so tubing. Hope this helps

[@bethglass9878]

Kevin, if you found one and the name of it could you also tell me. I have the same problem. Thank you

[@kathyrobinson-watts6280]

We have the exact same stock tank. I notice you have not painted the inside and neither have we. However, we used chlorine and the pool rusted rather quickly. Have you had any rust issues?

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

None whatsoever (knock on wood!) I read to not allow any chlorine to come in contact with the metal. I just use the 3" tablets in the floating dispenser. I do not shock it, and the tabs never flake or leave crumbles, they stay hard until dissolved. That stinks for you! Im so sorry!

[@kathyrobinson-watts6280]

Thank you. We also use the tabs in the floater. Not sure what happened. We are actually now being forced to paint it. I’ll show you the before and after pics. Wish us luck!

[@patriciahart9805]

The adapter for the hoses, what is it called? And what size hose is it for? I have ordered all the parts but will be needing the adapter.

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

I dont know. I had extra pieces from a friends filter she gave me :)

[@BestyetJourney]

For somebody who don't like to read he caught you hick up lol. Thank you for sharing xoxo

[@williambaker577]

I've looked everywhere on line for an adapter like that and can't find one.

[@jasonhoffman5835]

Question for yall. I'm doing a stocktank setup similar to what you have. I'm going to be using a sand filter pump and I don't want to be drilling holes in the stocktank. I've noticed that you just have the intake hoses just going over the side which is what I'm attempting to do. I'm attaching the inlet to the inside wall of the tank with a magnet. Problem I'm having is I'm not getting a prime for the pump. Do you pre prime the pump before you turn it on? Is that pump above the waterline on a table for a reason?

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

i full the pump and all tubes with water, even though most drains out. I have to turn in the pump and lower it as low as I can so the intake tube is almost even with the waterline to get the form suction, once it does it runs great. Only have to do it when I first put it together in the spring.

[@jasonhoffman5835]

@ParagonRidgeRanch That explains alot. I just couldn't get a proper prime and figured that was the issue. Thanks for the reply.

[@ashleytatum4964]

What is the adapter y’all put on the skimmer to hook it to the pump? I have the same problem so I can’t hook it up 😭

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

That’s a gray question!’ I had it in my barn with a bunch of parts from a friend and her above ground pool!! I really was blessed and have. No idea what it’s called!

[@sharoncourt75]

I still have not figure out how to add this, i have a Crystal clean intex pump 1 is the inlet 1 the outlet and rhen the hoses are conected to the pump, is this the outlet hose that you use for the waterfall? Thanks

I’m sorry, just make sure you follow the pump directions. The other stuff I use is just N add in. Maybe your pump is having issues, I would. All the warranty department and troubleshoot;)

[@user-by6xr7ds7z]

This is for livestock to drink out of. Why would they put holes in it?

They are used ad plunge pools. The holes are for the inlet and outlet valves to connect to the pool pump. They're used for more than livestock since covid.
