Hey all,
I have a cabin in the woods. Off grid. very wooded and shaded.
Would love to have a stock pool but it is a little tricky since no power or water. 6ft poly round. Let me know if this will work -
Since I am only there every other weekend I will need to set this to work while I am gone: I will set it to catch rain run off my metal roof (I do this for my non drinking water for 15 years). I'll have it go through a filter and I will put a chlorine tab in it to make sure it comes into the stock tank clean and chloroinzed. I will keep the tank completely covered so nothing can get in and no light can enter as well. I will set up a solar powered pond pump to create some water movement in the tank during day time to prevent stagnation. Only during day time will it move the water.
Next when I come there, and assuming it will be full, I will run a sand filter and UV filter as well as adjust the chlorine level of the water
I will let this run for 3 hours or so. I then think I can use it. Right? I will run it every day while I am there for 3 hours on the sand filter and uv filter.
Then before leaving I will raise the chlorine level to be on the higher side, put in a chlorine floater, and set up the solar pump again. I won't let any rain run off to go in again and keep it covered really well to prevent anything falling in or light getting in there.
When I get back a week or so later I will repeat the process of the sand filter and uv.
I will empty it before winter.
Please let me know if this should work.
