This is why we do it! My favorite butterfly.

Eastern Black Swallowtail, male. Love him! He was in the herb garden on a sage plant. He was smaller than usual and in perfect condition, I suspect he was recently hatched? I have seen females near the dill and on the Golden Alexander.

Happy!

2 feet high, 8 feet around, takes 750 gallons of water. Pump runs automatically for two hours a day. We will rerun it for another 2hours if we or dogs are in it. To help clean and refresh the water we refill the pool and allow the water to overflowto helI enjoy going in the pool and spending time scooping out leaves and organic debris. In the morning cat birds will be on the edge of the pool having a breakfast of bugs that are in the water.

I attended You Tube academy watching every video I could find on stock tank pools. We ordered everything from Amazon except the pool which was from TSC, Erich H. helped us get it home. Thanks again Erich!

We set this up during COVID so it was a bit more expensive than pre-COVID OR pre-inflation.

On the very hot days where we can’t get the water cool enough we will put in the chlorine tablet float thingy until the weather changes.

Two years ago we had white slimy something in the water, I could not get rid of it. I shocked the pool, BAD MOVE. The pool rusted.

So we emptied and dried the pool, sanded the rust and used Cold Zinc Spray Paint to stop the rust. It worked, we used 10 cans. Last year we resprayed using 5 cans and this year we sprayed again using only 2.5 cans. The stuff works.
It can be purchased by the gallon too and would be less expensive than the spray cans. We also purchased a new pump to start fresh.

I’m retired now, I’m glad I did this while i was working and could afford it.
