Sturdy, Flat Foundation

Prepping for your Howdy Soaker? Make sure you've got a strong, flat space ready for it.

Keep in mind, once filled, a Howdy Soaker 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.

Our Howdy Stock Tank Pools, along with heaters, come with the added advantage of complimentary delivery and installation, a service we proudly offer within a 50-mile radius of Kerrville, TX (78028). This is included in the overall cost, ensuring no hidden fees for you.

For those located beyond the 50-mile mark, please don't hesitate to contact us. We are more than willing to discuss and arrange the necessary logistics to accommodate your needs. We're committed to making every effort to bring the Howdy TX experience to your doorstep, regardless of distance.

Kindly note, the look of the Howdy Soaker might vary based on its size (offered in 6ft, 8ft, and 10ft dimensions).

While we ensure consistency, there might be slight differences in appearance due to the manufacturing or transit processes, which are naturally beyond our hands. It's not uncommon to find minor blemishes, like occasional scratches or dents, but rest assured, these won't affect how your pool works.

Also, given that galvanized steel tanks are shipped in sets, the exact measurements of each pool can differ slightly, usually within a range of 2-6 inches.

Regardless of these nuances, we're confident you'll love your Howdy Soaker's rustic charm and functionality!

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.

The Howdy Soaker is an excellent choice for those seeking a high-quality, affordable pool option. Here’s why it might be the right choice for you:

1. Affordable Quality: The Howdy Soaker offers exceptional value. It's a budget-friendly choice that doesn't compromise on the quality and durability Howdy TX is known for.

2. Simple and Elegant: With its straightforward design, the Howdy Soaker is perfect for those who prefer an uncomplicated and elegant pool solution. It’s easy to set up and maintain, making it ideal for first-time pool owners or those looking for a minimalistic approach.

3. Size Flexibility: Available in sizes of 6 FT, 8 FT, and 10 FT, the Howdy Soaker fits a variety of spaces, offering flexibility for different yard sizes.

4. Solid Foundation: Like all our products, the Howdy Soaker is built on a solid foundation, ensuring longevity and consistent performance.

While the Howdy Soaker is a fantastic option for simplicity and affordability, it's worth noting that it doesn’t support the addition of a heater, unlike our Howdy Hopper model which includes a poly insert liner for added insulation and the option to add a heater. If these features interest you, you might consider the slightly higher investment in the Howdy Hopper for an enhanced pool experience.

In conclusion, the Howdy Soaker is an ideal choice for those who are looking for an affordable, high-quality, and easy-to-maintain pool. It’s perfect for enjoying the simple pleasures of a cool dip on a hot day without the additional features and investment of the Howdy Hopper.
