Galvanized stock tank as a small pool

[Pooh_Bear]

I had some company the other night.
Me and my wife got in it together.
It was dark so we both went skinny dipping.

Those stock tanks don't have a drain do they? Not that I'm stirring the pot...but...I'm not sure if the little lady would want to take a dip in it if has some mosquito larva wiggling around as you sip wine and eat cheese. Hence Soundguy's goldfish remark. She's not afraid of a few goldfish swimming around between her toes? I hope you don't wash off first before you get in it each day...

However...you could put a little black pond dye in there...so as not to see the larvae, goldfish, salamanders and frogs bumping around in there...then you don't have to worry about even using a filter...not that I'm stirring the pot...

usually they do have a threaded bung drain.. or at least the 6'ers I got from TSC do.

Yep.. keep a goldfish in there and no more bugs!

So a Cialis commercial was made...:laughing:

It has a 1 inch drain plug. A cup of bleach per day should keep any bugs from taking up residence. At about 400 gallons I could change the water occasionally. Maybe every month or so. Instead of Round Up I could drain it, move it out of the way and mow the spot where it sits, then put it back and fill it up with water again. I'm thinking about over the winter coating the bottom of it with Rhino Truck Bed Liner and maybe up the sides a little. Paint the inside with Ford blue implement paint. Should last forever then.

yep.. sounds like a good plan.

get the fish they use for those foot manicures that nibble the dead skin off....although that might not be a good idea in the buff

 

[Redbug]

Funny stuff Skyco...Why didn't I think of that! Just make sure you don't get any piranha. No more Cialis commercials otherwise...

Has anybody noticed that the chlorine tanks are all made of plastic, even the storage tanks, and valves. A little chlorine might not hurt now, but just one rust spot, and the chlorine will eat away. I have seen a stainless steel spray tank bottom dissolved around the seams. I guess that is where a little bit of chlorine remained.
Every metal spray wand that I have used was destroyed by chlorine. The bleach injectors will corrode if not cleaned after using.

Yes, I really do think chlorine will eat metal.

Did the same thing - but I had my local Rhino liner dealer come out and spray the inside with RED rhino lining. It was not cheap $950.00 but it is the coolest pool around. Kids love it and the rhino lining will last forever!

Location: Dunlap, TNMakes a great soaking tub.Date: August 25, 2010 I bought one of these to soak in after a hot day working in the yard mowing and such. It's the perfect size for a couple or maybe even 3 people to get in. And even tho I added a small swimming pool filter, the tank is not too big to change the water occasionally. Feels great to come in after a hot day of mowing on the tractor and soaking in a big tub of water.
