Pool

You've seen them on Instagram or other social media platforms. Quaint, redneck-y, trendy, stock tank pools. There was a time when I passingly considered ...

So, in order for the clamp to grip it, I had to cut a strip of PVC pipe and screw it to the rim of the stock tank. To treat the water, I got a small floating chlorine dispenser and used 1-inch chlorine tablets. In a pinch to get our pool going, I actually made a weatherproof box for the plug out of a locking food storage container with a gasket. For one of the fittings, I had to make a bushing out of 1-inch ID vinyl hose to size it down to fit. The bottom of my tank was a little over 8 feet across, so the I tied the rope to the stake, measured 4 feet and a couple of inches on the rope, tied it to the can, and then sprayed the paint on the grass in a big circle. Using stainless-steel machine screws, stainless-steel fender washers, stainless-steel plain washers, and nylock nuts, I fastened the inlet and outlet to the tank walls. I used a shovel to cut around the circle and then remove all the grass and a little dirt on one side. When I built a small deck for the pool, I included a shelf where the pump could be mounted. This is also something to keep in mind with the pools designed with a tube frame and exposed sides. I found that adding three to four tablets every three to four days kept the chlorine level in the desired range. With a 5-year-old to keep busy for the summer, I suddenly started to look at a stock tank pool as something we needed. If you choose a smaller tank, you might want to use a smaller pump and filter.
