Paul I retired from a pool store and I would recommend changing that filter to a small sand filter. Those paper filters are not very effective and most people deal with algae issues when the heat comes. They may work for a small stock tank but a sand filter will save you hundreds of dollars over time. If I may add, please use an oxidizer in the tank to keep it clear. It will eat the skin oils and bacteria in the small body of water and keep it crystal clear. I love the idea of having a stock tank for something to cool off in and I had many customers who did so with great success. You did a great job explaining the process! One more thing! The pump should run one hour for every 10 degrees weather per every 10 thousand gallons .
Would you recommend using a pool liner? Maybe one you could change out every other year. I've heard some are insulated. Great idea about the sand filter.
I remember the original video! glad you got it set back up. We installed an above ground pool in the backyard last year ourselves. Kerri insisted she get some sort of pool since I got a shop, tractor, and mower, hahahah. It was during my phase of not wanting to do any videos after the lightning hit the house and had no computer or anything. We went with a 30' diameter pool that is 2 feet into the ground.
Projects With Paul thanks for sharing another wonderful video about Building A Stock Tank Pool Step by Step it was a really good video and thanks for sharing this paul my friend good job and God Bless.
*Hello, I'm your 2nd Thumbs up and First Comment. I'm New here watching and joining your YT family from Wayne at Custom Screen Printing sharing you out. I enjoy watching and sharing all kinds of videos. My husband does a lot of projects as well that I share. This was Great & Thank you for explaining things & telling us where you got things & the prices. Keep up the Good work. 😍😍😍* Sharon in SC
Have you ever seen where the pool is too thick for the gasket for the incoming water wont go past the air spout to get screwed in? I have a Behlen Country 625 gal Poly Round Stock Tank. I was thinking i will need a different nut that is not so thick or notch out the nut to fit the air spout. Of all the things to run into.
No I have not. You can get an outlet without the air spout, that might help. Maybe you could use a palm sander on the outside off the pool to evenly bring down the thickness. Good luck and thanks for watching.
Thanks Paul! I’ve been wanting to see how people do this! Great bench too! Great instructions video! Do you keep a cover on it when not being used? Cool towel holder! Nice job!
Excellent videos. Would you please post the Intex fittings needed. I have searched eBay and Amazon but the pictures do not look like the threaded intake and exhaust fittings you have. the only show the hose clamp ones. Thank you.
Thinking about doing this to replace our jacuzzi. This would be better for our needs. Wife can’t use the jacuzzi because of the heat. Plastic holding up well in the sun? Seems everything thing here (SC) made of plastic becomes brittle. I’m thinking I will go over the top with piping to eliminate drilling through the side.
Yeah holding up good so far. I bought it in 2020 and it's always been outside. I pressure washed it this year and used a little bleach on the stains and it looks as good as when we bought it. Thanks for watching.
How many hours do you think I should run the Flowclear 58664e with four hoses for a Rubbermaid 300 gal stock tank? Cant find anything on internet or Bestway. Also, how many chlorine tablets do you recommend?
@@ProjectsWithPaul Now, we have a problem. Pool is filled and most of the hoses are leaking to include ones going directly into pump. Can you recommend a better one. Unfortunately, my husband made three holes.

Awesome Jan, Thanks for the recommendations and thanks for the support.
Love this, thank you!
Awesome info. Any chance you would provide brands/part numbers for these modifications please? Thank you for your input.
Would you recommend using a pool liner?
Maybe one you could change out every other year.
I've heard some are insulated.
Great idea about the sand filter.
can you link to one for this size?

Thanks for the continued support Wayne.
Ive seen several Stock tank videos, this is by far the best. Great job. Thank you!
Thank you and thanks for watching.
I have a slight decline in my backyard I need to make a base for it this seems awesome

Thanks Sharon, for stopping by and watching.
@@ProjectsWithPaul *You're Welcome. 😊😊😊* Sharon in SC
This is going to be for me and my dogs!
Going to install on my poly tank tomorrow
Awesome. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching Brenda. I am going to cover it just not sure how yet.
Can you use the drain hole with an adapter to connect to the pool filter instead of drilling two holes?
It would be difficult to find something that would seal up.you would be better off just hanging hoses over the side. Thanks for watching
Excellent videos. Would you please post the Intex fittings needed. I have searched eBay and Amazon but the pictures do not look like the threaded intake and exhaust fittings you have. the only show the hose clamp ones. Thank you.
I added them to the description. Thanks for watching.
How far apart are the inlet and outlet holes? Did you do length of hose from filter?
About 5 feet. Thanks for watching.
Thanks a bunch!

@@ProjectsWithPaul that’s awesome
Thank you, very helpful. Does the bottom of the pool get buildup, meaning, do you ever need to scrub the bottom or sides of the pool?
No. just keep the the chlorine, ph and alkalinity in check. Thanks for watching.
did you make that little deck over the pump yourself?
Yes I made a video about it. Thanks for watching.
Great job!
Thanks
Do you have a video on building that bench?
Yes just telling how
Do you have plans for the seating thing you have?
I don't have plans but I made a video on how I built it and I believe there are some measurements in the comments. Thanks for watching.
Paul, where did you get the rubber gasket for the inlet? Did that come with it?
Yes it came with it. I'm sure they are on Amazon if you dont have one. Thanks for watching.
On the pump size, should I get the 2500gph or just stick with 1500gph? I got my plunger valve kit and my stock tank already 😁😁
I like the 2500. It's quieter and has a bigger filter. Thanks for watching
how durable is the tank? can it be partially buried? or best left above ground?
It's pretty durable, but I don't know about burying it. Thanks for watching.
had a question, does the water get too warm in the summer ?
No I would like it to get warmer. Thanks for watching
How many hours do you think I should run the Flowclear 58664e with four hoses for a Rubbermaid 300 gal stock tank? Cant find anything on internet or Bestway. Also, how many chlorine tablets do you recommend?
Just a couple hours a day should be fine. I put four 1 inch chlorine tablets in my floater and they last about 8 days. Thanks for watching.
@@ProjectsWithPaul Now, we have a problem. Pool is filled and most of the hoses are leaking to include ones going directly into pump. Can you recommend a better one. Unfortunately, my husband made three holes.
Can you enclose the bench to make the pump more quite?
I guess you could. I recently upgraded my pump to a c2500 intex and it's much quieter. Thanks for watching.
Will 20x20 pavers work as a base once leveled?
Yes I think they would work good. Thanks for watching.
What site did you find thos liner on?
There is no liner.
How did you get the tank home from TS?
Tied down on my trailer across the rails
how do you come up with 625 gallons it looks like 60 gallons
Look it up on tractor supply.com that's what it is. Its 8 feet in diameter and 2 feet deep. Thanks for watching
