This woman shares what itโs actually like having a stock tank pool after just a few days of use.
She covers what happens when it rains, how sheโs handling maintenance with well water, covering and draining the pool, and what to know about homeowners insurance.
She also mentions a simple filter adjustment that helped keep the water cleaner and shares her plans to eventually sink the pool into the ground or build a deck around it for a more finished look.
If you were to do a pool like this, would you bury it in the ground, build a deck around it, or leave it as is?
I think this is such a great budget-friendly option if you want a pool to keep the kids โ or even yourself โ cool during the summer heat.
This woman built a 1,000-gallon stock tank pool for under $1,000 โ and it actually looks really good.
She got the poly tank from Tractor Supply for $599, added a filter, a small waterfall feature for the outlet, and basic chemicals to keep it swimmable all summer. Total came in well under budget, and now she has a pool to float in whenever she wants.
She also explains why she chose the poly tank over the metal ones and why you shouldnโt just ask ChatGPT what chemicals to add to your pool.
Would you ever try a stock tank pool, or do you already have one?
