  • How Do I Prepare My Yard For A Howdy Stock Tank Pool?
    Sturdy, Flat Foundation Prepping for your Howdy Stock Tank Pool? Make sure you've got a strong, flat space ready for it. Keep in mind, once filled, a Howdy Stock Tank Pool can weigh in at around 6,000 lbs. So, that deck or balcony might not be ideal. Also, remember to reserve space for the 2’x3' filter pump. Though we recommend getting a professional to level the ground, if you're feeling handy, here's a trick: take a long 2x4 and place a level on top, scanning across every angle. Clear Delivery Pathway Ensure there's a free path, at least 2ft wide and 6-10ft high (equivalent to your pool's diameter), for the pool's arrival. Why? Because we deliver pools on their side and need this space to maneuver them into place without a hitch. Electric Setup Outdoors Thinking of warming things up with a heater? You might need an electrician. For all the nitty-gritty, explore our 'Electrical Requirements' guide.

  • Howdy Stock Tank Pool Look, Variations, & Imperfections
    Whether you choose the Howdy Hopper or the Howdy Soaker, each of our stock tank pools is crafted with care and attention to detail. Here's what you can expect regarding their appearance, variations, and natural imperfections: For the Howdy Hopper: Size-Based Variations: Available in 6ft, 8ft, and 10ft sizes, the appearance of the Howdy Hopper may differ slightly based on its size. The 10' Howdy Hopper, for example, has a depth of approximately 28" due to the poly tank protruding slightly from the steel counterpart. Fit of the Poly Liner: The wide lip of the poly liner may fit neatly into the steel tank or extend above it, depending on the tank's diameter. These variations do not impact the pool's functionality. Manufacturing and Transit Imperfections: Minor imperfections like scratches or dents might be present due to manufacturing and transit processes. These are beyond our control and do not affect the pool's performance. Dimensional Fluctuations: As galvanized steel stock tanks are transported in nested sets of three, dimensions can vary by 2-6 inches. For the Howdy Soaker: Consistent Yet Unique: The Howdy Soaker, offered in 6ft, 8ft, and 10ft dimensions, maintains consistency in quality, but slight differences in appearance may occur. Minor Blemishes: Similar to the Howdy Hopper, the Soaker may have minor blemishes like scratches or dents from manufacturing or transit, which do not hinder its functionality. Slight Measurement Variations: The exact measurements of each Soaker tank can differ slightly, usually within a range of 2-6 inches, due to the way they are shipped. Common to Both Models: Rustic Charm and Functionality: Despite these nuances, both the Howdy Hopper and Howdy Soaker are designed to provide a functional and aesthetically pleasing addition to your outdoor space.

  • Electrical Requirements For Howdy Stock Tank Pools
    The electrical setup for the Howdy Hopper and Howdy Soaker pools is an important aspect to consider for proper and safe operation. Here are the details: Common Requirements for Both Howdy Hopper and Howdy Soaker: Filter Pump Requirements: Both pools require a GFCI-protected 120v 15amp outlet within reach of an extension cord from your pool equipment. If your outdoor socket isn’t GFCI-protected, we can provide an adapter for $30 upon delivery. Specific to Howdy Hopper: Electrical Setup for Heaters: Upgraded Electric Heater (5.5kw or 11kw): In addition to the 120v 15amp outlet for the pool pump, a 240v junction box is required to be positioned within 6ft of the pool pump area. Gas or Propane Heater Upgrade: This setup requires a dedicated 120v 15amp outlet, separate from the outlet for the pool pump. Extension cords are not suitable for this configuration. General Advice and Costs: It's recommended to consult with an electrician to assess potential costs and ensure your breaker panel can accommodate the additional load. Costs may start at around $1,000, varying based on factors such as trenching distance to your electrical box and the specific heater chosen. Heavier-duty heaters requiring thicker wires could increase installation costs. Installation Timing: You can choose to address electrical requirements after our pool delivery or installation. However, if you opt to have electrical work done beforehand, it may necessitate a subsequent electrician visit to connect the heater to the junction box. Additional Information: For detailed specifications, especially regarding heaters for the Howdy Hopper, feel free to contact us, and we will provide a specs sheet for your review. In summary, while both the Howdy Hopper and Howdy Soaker require a basic electrical setup for the filter pump, additional electrical considerations apply for the Howdy Hopper, especially if you opt for a heater upgrade. It is always best to consult with a professional electrician to ensure safe and compliant installation.

  • Electrical Requirements For The Howdy Soaker Pool
    Ensuring proper electrical setup is key for the safe and efficient operation of your Howdy Soaker pool. Here are the specifics: GFCI-Protected Outlet: For the pool's filter pump, a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) 120v 15amp outlet is required. This outlet should be accessible within the reach of an extension cord from your pool equipment. Additional Adapter: If your existing outdoor socket isn’t GFCI-protected, we offer a GFCI adapter that can be supplied upon delivery of your pool, if needed. This adapter is available for $30. Consultation with an Electrician: We recommend consulting with a licensed electrician to ensure the electrical foundation for your Howdy Soaker pool is correctly set up. An electrician can provide a quote and confirm that your breaker panel can handle the additional load. Cost Considerations: While the electrical requirements for the Howdy Soaker are generally straightforward, costs can vary depending on the distance from your electrical box to the pool site and any specific conditions of your setup. Post-Delivery Setup: You have the option to prepare the electrical setup either before or after the pool's delivery. If you choose to complete it beforehand, the electrician may need to return after the pool's installation to finalize connections. Summary: The Howdy Soaker pool requires a basic electrical setup that includes a GFCI 120v 15amp outlet. For safety and compliance, we recommend engaging a professional electrician to handle the installation. This ensures that your pool operates efficiently and safely right from the start.

  • Howdy Hopper Look, Variations & Imperfections
    Please be aware, the appearance of the Howdy Hopper can differ based on its size (available in 6ft, 8ft, and 10ft). The 10' Howdy Hopper stands at a depth of approximately 28" since the poly tank protrudes slightly from the steel counterpart. There are instances where the wide lip of the poly liner neatly fits into the steel tank without extending above it. This is typically when the steel tank's diameter accommodates the liner's lip width. Regardless of the variation, it won't impact the pool's functionality. It's possible to encounter minor imperfections due to the manufacturing or transit processes, which are beyond our control. There may be occasional scratches or dents that are inevitable. Given that galvanized steel stock tanks are transported in nested sets of three, the precise dimensions of each tank can fluctuate by 2-6 inches.
  • Howdy Hopper Electrical Requirements
    Please be aware that you might need to engage an electrician to set up the required electrical foundation for your Howdy Hopper pool and/or its heating mechanism. For the pool's filter pump, a GFCI 120v 15amp outlet should be within the reach of an extension cord from your pool equipment. If your outdoor socket isn't GFCI-protected, we can supply an adapter upon delivery, if needed, for $30. Upgraded Electric Heater (5.5kw or 11kw): Besides the 120v 15amp outlet for the pool pump, a 240v junction box needs to be positioned within 6ft of the pool pump area. Gas or Propane Heater Upgrade: This requires a dedicated 120v 15amp outlet, separate from the 120v 15amp outlet for the pool pump. Extension cords aren't suitable for this setup. It's advisable to request a quote from an electrician to gain insight into potential costs and to ensure your breaker panel can handle the load. Expenses might commence at around $1,000, scaling up based on trenching distance to your electrical box and the caliber of the heater. Heavier-duty heaters, demanding thicker wires, can drive up costs. While you have the option to wait until after our pool delivery or installation to address electrical requirements, having it done beforehand would necessitate a subsequent visit by the electrician to connect the heater to the junction box. For a comprehensive understanding of heater specifications, feel free to reach out and we will send over a specs sheet for your review.
