DIY stock tank pool! This video gives you the supplies and steps to DIY your own Stock Tank Pool for your backyard. Once you have your ground leveled and ready, you can knock out this project in an afternoon and be enjoying that cool water. Due to popularity, the supplies can be hard to find. So I recommend that you start to find all of the supplies ahead of time so you are ready for the next pool season.
The pool in this video is a 6' tank. We have since upgraded to an 8' tank (see it here: • DIY POOL DECK with a S... )

Many, many years ago we also used the stock tank pool, the kids really enjoyed the experience. It was supplied by a Dempster Windmill and the water was very cold, you think the kids cared, I guess not. Many hours of enjoyment for very hot afternoons. 👍👍👍. 5-6-2023

I grew up on a ranch in Runnels County, TX. We had 10 stock ponds on our property and each had a windmill and a galvanized steel stock tank that the windmill pumped into. The overflow went out into the ponds which were made by bulldozing a dam across a natural gully. The metal tanks were always brim full of cold, clear well water. I skinny dipped in those tanks MANY times on hot Texas days after working in the pastures. The horses and cows didn't mind. 😜 Enjoy it!

Yes!! Stocktanks have also reached the Netherlands (they're not used for livestock here so they don't produce them in Europe). We bought one last year imported from the U.S. and we are very happy with it. It looks so great in our garden, much better than a plastic swimming pool. We wanted to install a pump but I was a little bit scared to drill holes into it because we also have the one with the ribs and I was afraid for leakage. Thanks to your instructions I'm going to give it a try. Great video, very well explained! I'm going to follow you on Instagram. Looking forward to you turning it into a hot tub (because that's what I also have in mind for the winter) :)

Thanks for this thorough overview. Appreciate. I few questions. 1) Why is the inlet above the outlet? I would think the opposite would be needed to fully drain the pool. 2) Can the pump be located remotely and you bury PVC up to the tank, making the final connections with the flexible hoses you show in the video?
@MakerGray
@MakerGray Жыл бұрын
Hi there, the inlet valve is *lower* than the outlet. I did this because particles in the water tend to sink and having the inlet lower gives it the ability to clean more water. Then it pumps fresh out on top. I don't use the inlet to drain the pool but instead I use the threaded drain hole in the bottom side. I can thread on a hose and let it go. I'm not sure about locating the pump remotely but I'm thinking no. the closer it is to the pool, the stronger it is. Thanks!

Hey There, This is an excellent video. What you forgot was a proper GFI electrical connection. And would it not have been more efficient if the inlet and outflow were almost 180 degrees seperate? Overall, very neat work.
@MakerGray
@MakerGray Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the comment! Great point about the GFCI. I have it plugged into a GFCI connection (not shown - several things have changed since this video). 180 degree separate flows would be just fine. However, the hoses are not long enough for that reach. Also, the way I have it now works great! This setup really creates the movement needed and especially helps that the inlet is slightly lower. Cool water from the bottom flows in and then back out the outlet on the top. Thanks again!

Can you make a pool enclosure for it? Maybe one of those 10x10 gazebos or a greenhouse?

Thank you so much for this amazing video! I did exhaustive research before building my stock tank pool and your video was by far the best resource. I've also decided to use hydrogen peroxide in lieu of chlorine. I'm curious whether you tested and balanced water pH before adding the h202? Every article or tutorial I read mentions this step before adding chlorine but I couldn't find any information about pH levels or water chemistry if you're using h202. I'm also curious whether you also incorporated an oxidizer and/or anything for algae?

Hi there! So happy to hear it - thank you for the feedback! No, I did not test the water ph beforehand. I just used my test strips and add about a half cup until the proper level is achieved. I really don't put a ton of thought into it and I really don't have to add too much, too often. After a good use, I'll check it and add a little. But if you have kids or lots of people in yours, you'll need more. It really is pretty easy :) Thanks again and enjoy!!

Is the outlet valve that comes with the waterway filter compatible with the inlet valves for Intex (Or do I need to get separate parts if we go with that pump)

This is excellent! Maybe this is a silly question, but what would be the top recommendation for covering this when not in use? A tarp? Some sort of lid?

Thank you! Great question. We usually leave ours uncovered with no issues at all. They like to be uncovered and breathe. I've see a lot of different options, but this is what we use when we need it! amzn.to/3mKRvsz

Ive seen people use simple square tarp that is secured on all four corners. Keeps a lot of debris out.

Hi! Wonderful instructions! I think I’m going to see if I can do it. One quick question though, I see you didn’t use a liner. How is the stock tank holding up after having hydrogen peroxide and water in it?
@MakerGray
@MakerGray Жыл бұрын
Really well! The hydrogen peroxide doesn't have any effect on the tank or have the potential to cause rust. Third season in and it's holding up great and super clean. Thank you!

Hey, Erin! I think I saw in the comments that you have your pool in the shade. I'm curious though if your pool gets any direct sunlight (or if you've heard from others) how hot the steel lip gets. Thinking about building one of these, but I'm worried about that steel heating up in direct sunlight and being super hot to the touch. Would love to hear your thoughts!
@MakerGray
@MakerGray 3 жыл бұрын
Hi! In hot weather and in full sun, the metal lip does get hot. I usually just splash some water on it and it cools off right away. But I've also seen people cut pool noodles down the center, lengthwise, and attach them to the rim all the way around. Definitely an easy fix :)

@MakerGray
@MakerGray 3 жыл бұрын
Not dumb at all! Mine is mostly shaded throughout the day, so it stays nice and cool. You can also buy solar covers that will reflect the sun when you are not using them. Fresh water needs to be added from time to time anyway, due to evaporation. It doesn't get as hot as expected though :)
