Our pools are 8’, or 10’ wide by 2’ tall. They look cool, they’re affordable, they’re SO MUCH easier to maintain than a real pool, they’re sturdy, and they are the perfect size for: Easily stepping in and out of the pool, sitting on the ledge and putting your feet in, sitting in the pool all day and keeping cool, children who may not be great swimmers.

No! Our package comes with a filter and pump to keep the water clean just like a regular pool. You will also be using small doses of chemicals like you would a regular swimming pool. With proper maintenance the water in your stock tank pool can last up to a year before you need to refill with fresh water; again, just like you would a regular pool.

That’s the number one question we get asked all the time.
Yes and No. Yes, the metal does get hot to touch when there is no water inside but when your tank is filled and ready to enjoy, the metal is not hot. However, the top lip of the tanks can get hot in direct sun as water is not generally filled to the very top. If this is a concern, you can use foam noodles and place over the rim of your Shark Tank Pool to add cushion and protection. The water in the tank will neutralize the tank’s exterior temperature. The water in a stock tank pool will vary in temperature based on sun exposure. For example: we live in a city that reaches 110 degrees in the summer and our tanks are in full sun all day and the highest our water temperature has reached is 85-88 degrees. We also suggest keeping the pool at least partially shaded. Put it under a tree or try umbrellas or an awning for shade.
Don’t like the noodle idea? Our combo model features a wide poly rim to sit on or to comfortably rest your arms or beverages!

These tanks contain NO LEAD. This information is confirmed by the manufacturer, Hastings. By EPA standards, they’re safe for livestock to drink from, and they’re safe for humans to swim in!

An 8’ can easily hold 5-6+ seated adults. A 10’ can fit 8+ seated adults. This depends of course on the size of the people and the spacing between them.

Our Stock Tank Pool Packages include a high quality sand filter. Just like an above ground pool, a filter should run a few hours a day, a sanitizer of your choice (we like 35% hydrogen peroxide) should be used, a skimmer to remove leaves, bugs, debris, a pool vacuum to pick up any fine dirt that settles at the bottom of your stock tank pool and a cover to keep it even cleaner.

Our stock tanks are made from galvanized steel. Galvanization is the process of applying a protective zinc coating to steel to prevent corrosion but eventually this coating wears off over time. These tanks are meant to hold water, though the addition of chlorine will accelerate the deterioration of the protective coating and eventually galvanized steel tanks will start to corrode. How quickly that happens usually depends on the chemical balance of your pool water and you can expect to get 2-5+ years out of your tank with proper care.
We highly recommend using just the minimal amount of chemicals in your pool water to extend the life of your tank. Please also review our “How to maintain your pool” section of our FAQs for detailed information.
Our best recommendation? Protect your stock tank and add longevity to your pool by purchasing the combo option! This is a combination of an outer steel tank with a poly line inside, so you get the great look of a galvanized tank, with added durability and insulation!
Don't have a combo model yet? If your pool starts to show signs of corrosion you do have options. You can upgrade to a combo which utilizes a thick poly liner, or we can replace your stock tank at a discounted rate if you purchased your pool from us originally.

We recommend a complete water refresh of your pool every year. Chemical build up, body oils, and other phosphates can build up in your water and on your tank. Draining and refilling your pool every year will extend the life of the galvanized metal.
Keep in mind maintaining a metal pool is different than a traditional pool and you'll want to use the minimum amount of chemicals to balance the pool to avoid damaging the galvanization.
*Never use a salt chlorination system in a metal pool.
*Never let a chlorine tablet rest directly on the bottom of your metal pool.
*Never add any algaecides or clarifiers.

If you ever had to drain your stock tank, we highly suggest purchasing a sump pump. It's the fastest and cleanest way to drain a tank.

Yes. However, please let us know in advance if you live on a dirt road, hill, one-way street, etc. We like to be prepared with the right towing vehicle, size trailer, etc.

We deliver and install to Arizona

We require your side yard and backyard to have a clear path from roof eaves, tree branches, trash cans, furniture, hanging lights, wires etc.
For example: If you ordered a 10x2ft tank, we require at least 11ft height clearance and 3ft wide entrance. Check your side gate/roof eave clearance.
If you do not have clearance, our team will assess the situation and decide whether they can get it safely to your backyard another way. If a safe alternative is not available, they will leave it on your front lawn/driveway. At that point it will be your responsibility to get your tank to your backyard.
We do not accept returns. A fee will be applied if our team has to return to install your filter.

To ensure your Shark Tank Pool is properly supported and stays level, you’ll need to prepare a solid, compacted base before your installation date.
We recommend removing all grass or vegetation and creating a decomposed or crushed granite pad that extends at least 1 foot wider than the diameter of your pool. A 3” thick pad works best in most cases, though 1.5” to 2” may be sufficient if your ground is very hard and the area does not retain water.
– Do not use sand or pea gravel as a base, as they can shift and cause the pool to settle unevenly.
– Your gravel base must be compacted thoroughly (with a hand tamper or plate compactor) and completely level in all directions.
– Do not include a slope for drainage.
– The pad should be firm enough that your foot does not sink more than 1/4” when walking on it.
If you’re unsure whether your area is truly level, you can check by placing a long (pool-diameter length), straight 2x4 on the ground where you want your pool and setting a level on the narrow side. Even if the space appears flat, you may find bumps or dips that need to be corrected.
**If your base is not level on install day, we’ll either install the pool on the unlevel surface (not ideal) or reschedule your installation for a $250 fee. Please note that rescheduled installs may be placed at the back of our calendar, which could mean a wait of several weeks.
If you plan to place your tank on a deck, please check your deck’s weight capacity. When filled, a stock tank can weigh 6000-9000+ lbs. You’ll need to ensure that the location can support all that weight. A wooden deck may or may not be able to support it.

We currently use a 14” Intex Sand Filter. Our filter runs off a 120v and has a 25ft power cord. It should be plugged into a GFCI outlet. If you do not have an outdoor outlet available, a heavy-duty extension cord (10-12 gauge) can be used TEMPORARILY until a permanent GFCI outlet is installed. Your connections must be waterproofed.

Do I Need a Pool Permit?
In most cities you do not need a permit to install a stock tank pool but you will want to refer to your local building code and HOA rules to be sure.

Our team will contact you within 5-7 days of purchase and schedule your install date.

The lead time is an estimated time frame after you purchase your pool package to our first available time slot. Once we call you after you make a purchase, we will discuss to see if your space is ready or get a reliable leveling/landscaping completion date, and we will do our best to schedule around that.
For Arizona our lead time will depend on the distance from our location. That said, our current lead time is generally 2-4 weeks depending on your location.

For the sake of our team and your new stock tank, please pick up your pets poo! It’s very uncomfortable to get your new beautiful stock tank to its designated area when we have to roll your tank over poo or even have it around and/or in our working space during your filter install. PLEASE give our team the respect of having your backyard clean and clear BEFORE their arrival. Thank you!
