Why Our Stock Tank Pool Pump Kit Is the Easiest Way to Build Your Pool

Looking to transform your backyard into a refreshing oasis without breaking the bank or tackling a massive construction project? A stock tank pool might be the perfect solution—and the Stock Tank Pool Pump Kit from Stock Tank Pool Products is the easiest, most reliable way to make it happen. Whether you’re new to DIY projects or a seasoned backyard renovator, our all-in-one kits offer everything you need for a fast and efficient setup.

In this guide, we’ll break down why our Stock Tank Pool Pump Kit is the go-to choice for creating a stylish, functional pool in just a weekend.

The Stock Tank Pool Advantage

Stock tank pools have become increasingly popular due to their durability, affordability, and charming, rustic look. Made from galvanized steel, these tanks are resistant to rust and designed to last. Plus, they’re compact enough to fit in small yards while still offering enough room to cool off during hot summer days.

But what really makes your setup smooth and enjoyable is the right pump kit—this is where our Stock Tank Pool Pump Kit and All-in-One Deluxe Kit with Blue Water Vacuum come in.

Everything You Need in One Kit

Our DIY kits are designed to make your pool-building experience seamless from start to finish. Here’s what comes with the standard Stock Tank Pool Pump Kit:

  • High-quality pool pump and filter: Keeps your water clean and safe for regular use.

  • Pre-assembled hoses and fittings: No guesswork or complicated assembly.

  • 2.75" hole saw with arbor: Makes precision drilling easy.

  • Waterproof silicone sealant: Prevents leaks around fittings.

  • Step-by-step instructions: A detailed manual with pro-level tips for success.

Want even more convenience? Upgrade to our All-in-One Deluxe Kit, which includes everything above, plus:

  • Blue Water Vacuum Kit: With a weighted vacuum head, 10-ft hose, and 5-ft pole for easy cleaning.

  • Skimmer Net: Quickly removes leaves and floating debris.

  • Extra cleaning tools and detailed guide: Helps keep your water crystal clear all season long.

These kits are designed to take the stress out of setup, with components carefully chosen to work perfectly together.

Simple DIY Setup in 5 Easy Steps

You don’t need to be a contractor or have fancy tools to set up your stock tank pool. Just follow these simplified steps and consult the comprehensive guide included in your kit:

1. Pick the Perfect Spot

Start by selecting a level, sunny area that’s free from overhanging branches or sharp rocks. You’ll need access to a power outlet for the pump and space around the tank for seating or lounging. If your yard isn’t perfectly flat, create a stable base using sand or gravel to level it out.

2. Prep and Clean the Tank

Before installing anything, thoroughly clean the inside of your stock tank with soap and water. Rinse it well to remove any residue and inspect for factory defects. A clean start ensures your water stays fresh longer.

3. Drill with Confidence

Using the provided hole saw and your own cordless drill (we recommend the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 1/2 in. Drill/Driver Kit), cut two holes in the tank: one near the bottom for water intake and one a few inches below the top for outflow. Your kit includes full instructions and safety guidelines, so don’t worry—just follow the steps and wear your recommended PPE like NoCry Safety Glasses and Honeywell Leightning Ear Protection.

4. Connect the Pump and Fittings

With pre-assembled parts, this step is a breeze. Use the included waterproof silicone to seal around the holes (inside and outside) and install the pump, hoses, and fittings exactly as described in the guide. Once everything is connected, give your setup a quick test before adding water.

5. Fill and Enjoy

Slowly fill your tank using a garden hose, stopping a few inches from the top. Once the pump is running, it will circulate the water and keep things fresh. You’re ready to relax in your new DIY pool!

Easy Pool Maintenance

One of the biggest concerns with any pool is maintenance, but our kits make it simple:

  • Daily Circulation: Run your pump for 4–6 hours a day to keep water moving and prevent algae.

  • Weekly Testing: Check pH and chlorine levels regularly using pool test strips.

  • Debris Removal: Use the included skimmer net (in Deluxe Kit) to scoop out leaves and bugs.

  • Vacuuming: The Deluxe Kit’s Blue Water Vacuum helps remove dirt, sand, and grime from the pool floor.

  • Winterizing: Drain and store the pool during cold months to prevent damage.

These straightforward tasks help you maintain a sparkling clean pool all season long—with very little effort.
