I have a house in Mississippi. Thinking about doing this. We get a lot of rain so I would probably engineer in an overflow valve to prevent overtopping and drain it away. Also use pressure treated wood for my box. Put in under some type of Pergola with a way to create an enclosure with a bench. Then I could put a mesh screen over the top to keep out all of the leaves and acorns out. Great inspiration here.

Love it. We did an inground stock tank pool a couple of years ago. One thing that happened was how slick the bottom was stepping in the pool at 18" +. My leg went out from under me! We bought a step from a medical supplier with 2 arms for stability while getting in and out. I actually trenched the plumbing so the pool pump was above ground and near where the heater is going. I like the idea of the drain sleeve.

The further out, you will need more HP to get the water moving. I have a small intex pump and it works just fine. One note though...If it loses prime, it can be challenging to get it back. I can only assume that is because of the distance and the fact the pump is aboue the piping. Gravity working against me.

@ditchingnormal1344 3 жыл бұрын
Hi! So we have a solar cover that easily keeps the pool warm during the summer months. We only use the heater for spring and fall. Even then, we usually only need to run it for about an hour or so to get it up to the mid 80's which is where we like it. I think we refilled the propane tank 3 times last year, which totalled about $35. I'm not exactly sure how far away the pump and heater can be. We use the hoses that came with our pool pump and never tested it to go farther than that. Our heater setup is about 15ft away and works great. I would just do some testing before putting anything permanent in place. Good luck!

Hi! We have really dry soil here and very little moisture in the summer so we just backfilled with dirt. You definitely have the right idea to backfill with something to help with drainage though if you have moist soil/clay. If you are putting your pump underground as well you may want to consider a sump pump to make sure it doesn't flood. Obviously all depends on how much water you get. Best of luck!

the heating unit we use heats about 10 degrees an hour. That should still apply to the cold months.

@ditchingnormal1344 Жыл бұрын
Hi! The only rust spots we had in our pool were due to chlorine tablets being dropped directly in the pool, on accident, and not in the floaty it's supposed to be in. Direct contact with chlorine caused the spots. Other than that, we haven't had any rust. As far as the permit and HOA question goes, I don't know. Hopefully your HOA managers can help answer that. If they do say it's considered permanent, you could maybe do an above ground version. We have one above ground now at a new house and love it just as much. Best of luck!

How deep is the water? Is it to your knees? How many feet wide is the stock tank?
@ditchingnormal1344 3 жыл бұрын
Hi. We have about 20 inches of water in our pool. You can fill it up higher if you're not worried about water splashing out as much. It's plenty deep to get in and fully submerge as you can see from our video. The stock tank we have is 8ft wide. Thanks for watching!

This looks awesome! We just ordered our 10ft tank and planning to do a pool/hot tub in ground. Sorry of I missed it but what do you have set up to drain the water out of needed?
@ditchingnormal1344 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks! We use the smaller pump that carries the water to the water heater to drain the pool. We dismount that pump from where it is mounted on the fence, take it over closer to the pool, connect some of the extra black tubing hose we had to the pump and drop that hose in the pool...turn on the pump and start draining! Good luck with your project!

Hey y’all we are planning on making a similar pool. We are just wondering how long it takes for the hot water heater to actually get your pool to a hot tub and how much propane it uses.
@ditchingnormal1344 Жыл бұрын
Hi! It obviously depends on the starting temperature of the water. If I'm remembering right it heats it up about 10 degrees per hour. Best of luck with your setup!
@johnbates6987 Жыл бұрын
@@ditchingnormal1344 Thank you for responding. Did you have to dip your tank housing hole deeper than the stock tank itself? Our pump will not pull water from the tank into the pump so it never comes to pressure.

Would it be possible to do the salt water instead of standard chemicals in this?
@ditchingnormal1344 3 жыл бұрын
Yes it is but you would need a specific pump system that is build for handling the salt. The pump we use and is linked in the description of the video is not meant to handle salt. I'm sure a quick google search on 'salt water pool pump' would get you pointed in the right direction. Best of luck with your project!

We haven't had any issues with rust...yet. I know it's coming one of these years. We'll likely add an epoxy coating at some point to try and prevent it as much as possible. From what we've heard, rust may take up to 8 years to show up. We'll see!

Why a propane heater over am electric one?
@ditchingnormal1344 4 жыл бұрын
Hi! More than anything it just comes down to your personal preference. The examples we saw of electric heat being used with stock tank pools didn't make us feel super comfortable that there wouldn't be a risk of electric shock. We chose propane so we wouldn't have to worry about whether or not it was safe to be in the pool while it was being heated. ...which it is really nice to sit right by the heater as it's pumping out hot water :) Thanks for watching!

No, not at all. It costs about $10-12 to fill up the propane tank and we only refill that about twice a year. If you get a solar cover it will help keep your pool warmer as well obviously resulting in less need to use the propane. Best of luck!
