Thank you for showing all the materials need it, your video is very organize, I am geting a poly, 1 found a place to get a 9' x 24" and will be ordering it, give me a few days to find the other stuff, I am going to have a mini bench like yours and cover the rest with retaining wall bricks and some hibiscus plants for a tropical look
@@ProjectsWithPaul you are so welcome! I was doing a property clean out on a foreclosure and came across an entire pool! My wife assembled it and then we tracked down a sand pump on Facebook market!
I did one eight years ago and it’s still going. Dug in the tank , decked around it and run a sand filter with solar heater attached. Instead of the noodles around the top I put them in the gap .
Hey Tim! What solar heater are you using? Is it enough to make it over 100 Fahrenheit for a hot tub? I’m interested in using solar power to heat the pool. Thanks
This is the best video showing the stock tank pool. What an amazing job you did Paul setting this up and explaining how to do it. I have a 27 foot pool that is getting old, takes a lot of time to maintain and it’s expensive. I keep telling my friends I’m replacing it with a kiddie pool. Great video, thank you so much😊
Well Paul i regreat no leveling the ground, my plastic stock tank dont have the flat aread like yours but drilling the hose was not bad, I place but of them at same height, the problem I have us that this same pump now only comes with the outlet, not the intake inlet, so I bougth 1 from Leslie's and it seem that te part where the hose nut screw in to the inlet fiting tread is not going deep enough and I had a huge leak, it was terrible, I will say anything doing this get some gaskets for the hose nuts, dry fit them and have them just in case.
I have a 10 foot one. I am not going to go to all that trouble to put in a pump filter and all that stuff. We just add 2 oz of bleach per 50 gallons per the extension office for livestock tanks with algee in them. Still safe to drink and everything. If it gets too dirty just pull the plug and fill again. We have our own well so water is the cost to pump it. I paid 700 dollars and a few dollar for mine just a week ago delivered to my house and set in the front yard and filled. Just had a nice swim in it and its pretty warm far from 55f for the well water temp. I wish mine had those flat sides. I am just hunting around to see what people did for the inner flange that is on my stock tank. Its like they add a 2nd ring over the top to make it much stronger for the cattle to bash against it. I may consider digging out a pit and laying down some foam and a brick wall with foam on it and then build one of those plastic deckes around it. Only a few feed and add me in a simple debris filter, couple of jets, a bubblier and some lights.
I just picked up a 6' polypropylene stock tank for THIRTY BUCKS off of Craigslist! These cost at least $350 + shipping new. I'm going to paint the outside of it a cool bronze theme'd color. I already have two pond spitters that are going in it.
@@getout116 we tried spray painting ours.... its been a pain. it looked good for a while, but started peeling. seems like the poly would've been way easier to manage
Hi Paul, thanks for the video. We actually purchased a stock tank just like this. We are currently searching for a filter. Is there a particular reason you went with the pump that you have shown here in the video? Is there a reason why an INTEX pump made for above ground pools that have 350-530 GPH rate would not be acceptable? The INTEX Krystal pumps with 1500 GPH seems overkill for a 650 gallon pool, or am I missing something? Thanks for your time.
Would it be possible to get the dimensions of the pool (diameter or circumference under the top lip in addition to other). We are putting in a ground level deck this weekend. And now my wife wants to add this to it. This looks awesome for the kiddos.
Thanks for sharing about the poly tank. I’ve been looking at stock tanks last couple years but was concerned to spend $400 for a rust bucket. Lol. I like look of metal but the poly seem to me that chlorine would be accepted & I also was concerned about the zinc leashing from the galvanized tanks. I notice the poly has ridges on the floor, is that a toe stubber? Is there something to help make the bottom where feet are more smooth or is it not noticeable? I have 6 kiddos so don’t want it to be an issue. Thanks!
This is the best video on stock tank pools. I think this one will be my preferred choice to avoid dealing with the rust issues. How long have you had yours?
@@ProjectsWithPaul Final question, can the poly tank also serve as a hot tub during the fall? Will the hot water affect the durability of the tank? Will extreme freezing cause any cracking? Your video has me sold.
How do you keep water from leaking around your intake and outtake valves? If you remove them at the end of each summer, I assume you don't use any glue. TIA!
@@ProjectsWithPaul we just got a poly like yours!! Yay!!!! I know they only hold 625 gallons as opposed to metal holding 700. I was so excited we found a poly! Thanks for sharing your video. We ordered a pump last night should be here by weekend. My kiddos & I are so excited!
We are looking for the intake/output fittings for the hose. Where did you get yours? Also if you would please, love the bench as well, can you send me measurements to build one? Thanks!
I'd give this vid 5thumbs up if you'd set the camera angled so we could "watch ya" hooking it up, instead of across-the-pool❓❓❓ ..also, including Links to the products used (pump, filter, etc) would have been a real score...hmmm, oh well🙃
@@ProjectsWithPaul Hi. You still have time. I'm here looking for the link of your pump, and scrolling comments to find it since it is not in the description. I'm not sure, but isn't there a way to make money while other's click on your YT links? Just a thought. Thanks for the video, though :-)

I never did have to shock it, I just put the chlorine tabs in the floater but A 1 lb. bag of shock will treat 5000 gal. so use about 1/5 th of the bag. Thanks for watching.
I just purchased a 9ft poly tank for my niece/nephew. After you cut in the intake/output holes...did you need anything else(sealant/ring) to keep it from leaking? Or is what's supplied by Intex enough?
Hi Paul! We just got a poly stock tank.....thanks for sharing your set up. Hopefully my hubby can makea bench like yours! Question: Is your pump plugged in to an extension cord?
I noticed your pool is on a concrete slab. Is it level? I have a concrete slab that slopes to drain water away from the house. We had a metal stock tank pool there years ago without an issue. I wonder if the slope would be ok for a poly stock tank pool. If not, any suggestions on how to level the area?
Great video! About to try this myself..just wondering how long do you have to keep the pump on in your opinion? Pump sounds a bit loud or maybe it's just the video. The reason i mention the sound it because we live in a attached town house and wouldn't want to annoy my neighbor lol. Thanks Paul 👍
@@ProjectsWithPaul Last question i promise!😊 I just placed an order after watching your video for a smaller 6 foot polyurethane tank. I was looking at a smaller pump from intex like the 1000. Just wondering if you think the inlets outlets and hoses are standard? Meaning would i still use a 2 3/4 whole saw? The 1000 comes with1.25in (32mm) diameter hose fitting. Not sure if your 1500 is the same? Tried finding info on it with no luck. Any advice on a pump would be much appreciated. I promise to leave you alone now😊. Thanks again Paul
Hi Paul. Thank you for making this video. We are ready to set up our filter- we ordered the Intex one like you have and it did not come with the outlet valve. Did you order yours separately and do you know a part number or what it's called? Thanks for your time.
You can buy the Intex Above Ground Plunger Valves with Gaskets & Nuts Replacement Part (2 Pack) on amazon for about $25. Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any more questions.
My Intex pump did not come with the strainer grid assembly either. I called Intex and they were very helpful letting me know which parts I needed. I ordered the parts from Intex.
Great video. Do you still recommend the poly tank? No issues with cracking etc since it’s been a couple years? Was on the fence between poly or metal. Thanks!
Yeah, the poly tank is tough. I pressure washed and cleaned it with bleach this year and it looked like new. You can get a vinyl liner now for the metal tanks, so that might be an option. Thanks for watching.
If anything metal is under water, it'll evenrually have the risk of rusting. Especially with Chlorine eating at it all the time. Galvanized or not! I have heard some have luck with super cleaning the inside with denatured alcohol and spraying a rubberized coating all over the inside. I haven't heard what the rusults were on that option. Has anyone else heard anything?
My son sprayed his metal tank and it began peeling after a season. They are making 8' diameter liners now on Amazon. That might be a good option for metal tanks.
You can do it that way. You just run the risk of the pump sucking air if the water level drops. I usually clean it with a net everday in the summer. Thanks for watching
@@ProjectsWithPaul Have you had to apply any coatings/ect? Does chlorine affect anything? I've been debating between the plastic vs metal stock tanks for a pool. Thank you.
@@euphyllialife9667 On website type in Poly ' stock tank. My local TSS only has the Aluminum type:( Some poly may be black and not blue.

I just got mine today, I am switching my metal one after 4 years of use. I did it because of the paint kept chipping off. The chlorine messes up metal and paint.

how long did it take to fill?
Less than an hour. Thanks for watching
Why not get a normal much larger pool for the price??
To much maintenance. Thanks for watching.
@@ProjectsWithPaul i see
How do you make it into a hot tub also
Not sure. Thanks for watching.
@@ProjectsWithPaul I found a heater. Thanks
Thanks to bidenflation that tank is now $829 in less than a year. But great video!!
It looks like they recently went down to $549. Thanks for watching.
What is the pool name? Can’t find it on TSC
@@euphyllialife9667 On website type in Poly ' stock tank. My local TSS only has the Aluminum type:( Some poly may be black and not blue. I just got the black 300 gal stock feeding /water tank which seats 4 nicely and has a slightly smaller footprint, and is higher on the sides. Balck helps with some heating as well. Hope this helps
@@serenityfarmsprepping2267 is it the tarter or behlen county? That’s the question here.
@euphyllialife9667 mine is the tarter. Thanks for watching
Eucilia. Help
How can I help you?
What is the purpose of doing a video like this when we aren't able to see the set up of hoses and pump?
This tank is $700 today smh
I know, I paid 500 with tax.
Your math is wrong, 8' round X 2' deep = 700 gallons.
Tractor supply website says 625. we don't fill it to the very top. Thanks for watching.
I just got mine today, I am switching my metal one after 4 years of use. I did it because of the paint kept chipping off. The chlorine messes up metal and paint. I am hoping this Poly isn't going to get damaged from the chlorine. I will post a pic when finished. I am building an all around bench for mine.
Awesome. Thanks for watching.
Question!! I am doing a hot tub so temperatures that go up to 110 degrees. Do you think this material can withstand those temperatures?
Yes I do. Thanks for watching
Very nice. Do you have FB or private email
