This is awesome. I will probably use a sand filter.

Running the water through black pipe or hoses in the sun can heat it pretty nicely without added heating cost (running cost is just that of running a pump). I know someone who ran hoses along their sunny roof and another who uses their fence and PVC pipe.

“Is it going to be that loud always” 😂 love kids haha. Looks amazing I really hope my wife doesn’t see how beautiful a painted one looks ha. I’m thinking about a poly one though so might be even easier to paint and maintain. Without sanding the smooth metal I’d think the paint could scratch or chip fairly easily?

Hi!
Great video. Did you guys bond the water? Not the GFCI on the pump but actual water bonding?
Thanks!

I love mine and it gets nice and warm I'd love to hook a heater up for fall winter use any suggestions on what kind

[Trvlrxxx]

Awesome job! One question… Why in the world would you keep the solar cover on in a heat wave to make your water temp nearly 100 degrees?

[mariescherbaum]

Where would I find cover for a plastic stock tank 8ft round

Nice but I soo don't have the room to stock that horse tank but my neighbor has one I still love my intex pool I can take down.

[TheBumshack]

doing this for family this summer! thanks for the helpful info! did you guys end up getting a heater for it? thinking we will want one for fall/winter use

How does the bottom of your stock tank feel my stock tank is very sandpapery. Rough hurts your skin. I had to paint it to be smooth.

[PaulaWilson-xh]

I'm not sure why your paint stuck to the galvanized finish on the tank without any prep for that.

[bobalooo]

Pool chemicals will corrode the metal.

It will never be this hot here again? Umh ur not God haha
