They are recommended if multiple people use the pool or if you want longer water life.
If your tub or ice bath has a filtration pump, we recommend using the eco3spa range of products. These are specially designed to keep your water clean, clear, and safe without the harsh effects of traditional chemicals. The system uses Active Oxygen to sanitise the water, helping to prevent bacteria and impurities while remaining gentle on your skin. Combined with their water conditioner, it ensures your spa water stays fresh and comfortable with minimal maintenance.

Zinc coatings help protect metal parts, but chlorine’s strong oxidizing action can gradually degrade the coating, leading to faster corrosion.
Therefore, we do not recommend Chlorine for home use and prefer products like eco3spa and even Bromine tablets are a better bet in our opinion.
If you still want to use chlorine (not recommended)
Use only:
• The smallest slow-dissolving tablet (max. the size of a €2 coin) 1 tablet every 1 to 2 weeks Maximum 5 grams • Always in a floating dispenser, never directly in the tank.
NEVER USE CHLORINE WITHOUT A FILTRATION SYSTEM.

Ah, the dreaded rust on a galvanized stock tank pool—don’t panic! Galvanized steel is coated with zinc to prevent rust, but over time or with scratches/exposure to water and chemicals, rust can start to appear. Here’s a clear step-by-step approach:
1. Assess the Rust
Surface rust is usually orange or brown specks on the metal.
Deep corrosion will feel rough, flakey, or eat into the metal.
If it’s deep, the tank may be weakened, and replacement is safest. If it’s just surface rust, you can fix it.
2. Drain and Dry
Drain the water completely.
Dry the tank thoroughly with towels or let it air dry.
This prevents further rusting while you treat it.
3. Remove Rust
Use a wire brush, steel wool, or sandpaper to scrub off surface rust.
For stubborn spots, you can use a vinegar solution (50/50 vinegar and water) or a commercial rust remover safe for galvanized metal.
Rinse well with clean water afterward to remove residues.
4. Neutralize and Protect
After rust removal, rinse with baking soda solution (1–2 tbsp per cup water) to neutralize acidity if you used vinegar.
Dry completely again.
5. Optional: Seal the Metal
Galvanized-safe paint or rust-inhibitor coating can be applied to prevent future rust.
Make sure the coating is non-toxic if you’ll swim in it.
6. Prevent Future Rust
Avoid leaving water stagnant for months.
Consider a liner to prevent direct water-to-metal contact.
Avoid scratching the metal with tools or abrasive cleaning.
Tip: Small rust spots don’t mean your tank is doomed; it’s common. But if rust covers large areas or the metal is flaking, replacement is safer.

Not always. Many customers use their tanks without a pump for casual use.
Pumps and filters are recommended for larger tanks, heavy use, or hot tub setups to keep water clean longer.
-
Generally, not really. The pool should not get too hot to the touch in the sunshine, though we do suggest keeping the pool at least partially shaded. Put it under a tree or try one of our umbrellas for shade. You can use foam noodles you can place over the rim of your Tankkd Pool to add cushion and protection
