SIDE NOTE
Below is the link to the Intex parts kit you'll need to be able to attach your pool pump to your stock tank. If your pump came with one of these pieces already, you'll only need one kit/box! If it came with ZERO threaded inlet/outlet pieces, you will need 2 or the combination of the white one we use in this video along with a plunger valve. If you end up using two kits, you will not need to buy and extra plunger valve.

Absolutely love your stock tank pool videos and with revisions. Dollar for dollar, one can't beat a stock tank pool.
I know a contractor here in Houston that does a great job installing these!
For anyone reading this... You should have the inlet and outlet farther apart. Farther apart the better to help with proper circulation. Also, the fitting @ 4:29 is for aeration and should be on the outlet fitting not the inlet.
Thank you for this video! I created our own stock tank for our dogs and your video made it so easy to do!
So cool,I saw your original video.
well done!! super good job!
Like you’re work! 👍.. if you hold a block of wood on the backside of the hole saw cut it will cut all the way through 👍
Hi! Thanks for this video. We just set ours up and we had our electrician come out and check the situation so he could quote us for a new outlet closer to the tank. He mentioned that by law, he'd have to ground and bond the pool since it's metal, however, the Intex pump (the one shown above and the same one we purchased) has no bonding circuit (circuit may not be the right thing to say, but basically the part of the filter that allows for bonding) because it's fully encased in plastic. Are we at risk of electric shock?!
You get the extra pieces and list what I should ask for. Tx U.
Does the same installation and tools work on the poly STP’s?
It's awesome what you do however; I have bought a resin stock tank. I have not seen any videos on resin stock tanks. I am sure it's not much different, although it would be nice to see a video of such . Is there a video on resin stock tanks?
Not sure if your still active on these old videos, but I have a bestway spa pump/heater from one of their inflatable hot tubs. Would I still need a regular pump in conjunction with that?
I can't seem to find an answer. Maybe you can help. I put in a 6X2X2 stock tank for lounging in on hot day. As for heating it, how about just digging out a trench under it and building a small fire there? I'm aware of possible hotspots and such, but is the basic idea one that would work?
Do you recommend painting the inside or using one of those liners?
What is the best way to keep it having that light blue look?
Good video. Is there a way to get everything needed in one order just like this video? We are going to shop for tanks this weekend. Thank you. Cheers!
I live in Crowley Texas, I need one so bad
Does it stay cool?
Ok nothin u gave links on you used in your video i want the link for the inlet,outlet fittings you used in tha video thanks
i want one!
How would you recommend finding someone to hire to install this for me? We live in Charleston, South Carolina
Hey do you do these in Live oak Florida
How much do you all charge to install one ?
Where do you get this piece???
Where do you buy this pump?
I recommend applying a coat of clear Flex Seal to the inside of the tank. The steal will rust under certain water conditions such as pH levels of your local water.
We DO NOT recommend flex seal to use on the inside of stock tank pools. Flex Seal is not rated to be under water continuously. We have learned and several other stock tank pool users have learned that Flex Seal is a disaster for stock tank pools. But everyone loves to recommend stuff they've never tried.
I actually painted it first and used clear flex seal over it after curing. It's been a year and everything is great. My on my first project I used nothing and it was covered in rust on the inside after one year. Maybe the oil based paint is the real answer. But that combo has been very effective.
@@markgoodwin5074 Glad that's working for you. I did not have the same experience and have had many emails from people who also had bad experiences. Where the problem lies is if you get a tear or crack in the paint/Flex Seal combo water gets between the paint and the tank and rust forms that way. Also, if you look into whether or not Flex Seal is approved to be under water continuously- it's not. So for all of those reasons we do not recommend it. You're the first and only person I've ever heard who's had a good experience with Flex Seal inside their stock tank pool. So we will continue to not recommend it.
What keeps water cool
Anyone ground/bond their stock tank pool?
Plugging directly into a GCFI outlet but wanted to double check.
How deep is the pool?
I have a buddy who doesn’t have a pump and works just fine
after 1 year stock tank began to rust and the seams began to bulge and leak do all brands of stock tanks have this issue and if so which brands do not rust or have seams bulge?
The stock tanks are made in China. That’s why they rust.
I still have stock tanks from the 80s and none of them rust heavy duty American made
I have the air jet valve on top piece, should I leave cap on bottom and off the top one ?
I am curious about this too!
@@tylerobrien6776 Tyler, I did leave the cap on the bottom and took top off. works great
yes! If the water drips on the top, just put the cap on when not using the pump.
Is there any way to get a list of what you used and how to order it?
We have list of everything we used in the description box.
Same steps with a poly tank? Non metal
I did this install using the pump on the links above. The pump runs loud. Has anyone else observed this? I think it is the reducer found in the inlets that connects to the larger diameter hoses. Does anyone have solutions to this? Also, I did bleed the pump.
That is why with a traditional "in-ground" pool pump is always away from the pool. All pool pumps make noise, having it right next to tank pool means you will hear it. I would suggest using a time clock to run the pump at night when the pool is not being used. You can also build a box with insulation to mitigate some of the noise but remember that the pump motor still needs to breath to dissipate the heat it creates when it is running...
Where did you get the washer you show at 6:04? It's not in the parts kit I ordered from your link.
I just updated the supply list to include this! Don't know how I missed putting that in there.
@@StockTankPool thank you
Drilling a smaller pilot hole will give you better results when drilling your larger hole.
Apparently you didn't watch the video
I did exactly that
What size were those holes drilled ?
Standard for intex fittings is 2-3/4"
I have an Intex krystal clear model 633t filter pump. It pumps the water out in a gush then almost stops, then bubbles and water start flowing then gushes out again. I bleed the air like you do in your video from the filter tower. Don’t feel much suction from the inlet jet. HELP! any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks I live in Corpus Christi Texas. Do you come this far south?
Mine does this too!!!!
@@MsIsla1 let me know if you find the cure, I’ll do the same.
Do you need to change the filter?
No on the filter change. I change it monthly and the pump does the same thing if the filter is new or not
My pump won’t fill with water. It sounds like a tank. Very loud. I used the shorter hose on the inlet and the longer hose on the outlet. I also fiddled with the plunger valve on the outlet(top) adjusting it to get more water in the pump. Even my electrician hubby couldn’t get it working better.
Does the pump have to stay on 24/7??
Just read below 2/4 hrs a day! Thanks!!
Wrong link for Rubber washer. I ordered them and they are too small. The rest is perfect. Thanks
Where did you buy the pump? Trying to buy one and they are out of stock or want $500 for one.
We have a pre-sale going on for a kit with the pump and all parts here- www.stocktankpoolauthority.com/all/pre-order-sand-pump-kit
Other than that, you just have to check everyday and hope one comes available. But even then, prices won't be going down until Winter.
Why do you not suggest using extension cord long term?
Also. Double question! I have an Intex 10” sand filter and the thing with the cap is on my inlet nozzle not my outlet strainer. Is that weird?
It's a safety recommendation from the pump manufacturer.

Is it ok to not let the silicone cure before adding water?
you definitely want it to dry at least!
@@StockTankPool i didn't give it any time to cure.. and it seems to be doing fine! lucky me. thank you for putting this info online!
Wouldn't it be easier, cheaper, and function better if you just bought some cheap above ground pool?
It sure would. But not everyone has the space for an above ground pool and/or not everyone likes the way an above ground pool looks.
Why no links to pump/parts used?
Info on the website
Did you look at the description? That's always where everything is listed.
Where can i buy this same tank? I live in Miami.
They sell them at Tractor Supply. Looks like the closest one to Miami is maybe in Doral
tractor supply Co, possibly also harbor freight or northern tools.
composite , plastic version exist and don't tend to have the zinc coating some metal livestock tanks have . weigh less can last longer .
Amazon had stock tanks at 1 point .
index is a very reliable brand for filters and hoses etc.
I got a plastic one on Walmart.com. The walls a little taller tho. Free shipping
@@fpineda101 link?
Look up rubbermaid stock tank on Walmart site
Does the pump stay on 24/7?
No! Only 2-4 hours/day
So, why can't you use an extension cord permanently if your electrical outlet is too far away for the pump cord to reach??
It is a safety recommendation from the pump manufacturer.
lightning hazard , ungrounded , do u want ur kid to be hurt or worse ?
also very old extension cords tend not to be grounded in any case .
go to habitat for humanity restore
and buy a gfci .
This seems like a cool idea of the problem is the price stock tanks are super expensive and obviously why would anybody choose this I mean I guess they would if it was not as expensive but for what they charge for a small 8 ft stock tank how can you guys say it's worth buying because if you buy a regular size stock tank the size of a big pool you're going to be paying probably about 10 grand my guess. I'm new to all this so forgive my ignorance just tell me how this compares to a real above ground pool
He hee i love my 100 gal Rubbermaid stock tank ITs only 100 gal. but why waste water by draining it 👀where i can filter it 👍👍 I 'AM HILLBILLY UPTOWN NOW 🤣🤣
Around minute 7 you said the silicone had to cure but I didn't see you use any silicone 😭
She did
Like any other mechanics it takes longer to explain than to do the work.
Maybe try a little wd40 and you will have a little easier time
I like your video but with hearing problems it's really hard to hear what your saying with the music constantly playing. I would rather hear what you say than listen to music.
Wal mart pool filters are useless
I don’t understand why you used a separate drill bit to make your starter hole!? That’s what the bit is for that’s in the center of the hole saw!!
