Stock tank pools are a fun, affordable way to enjoy backyard swimming. But keeping the water clean requires a bit of attention. Maintaining proper chlorine levels (1–3 ppm) and balanced pH (7.2–7.8) is key to preventing algae and bacteria.

How to Shine and Protect Your Stock Tank Pool
Keep your stock tank pool looking brand new with a few simple steps. Start by washing the outside with mild soap and water to remove dirt and oxidation. For extra shine, lightly polish the galvanized metal with a soft cloth and a small amount of WD-40 or metal polish. Always buff to a smooth finish and apply a clear wax or sealant for long-lasting protection. Regular cleaning and polishing not only enhance your pool’s appearance but also extend its life and prevent rust and corrosion — perfect for anyone maintaining a stock tank pool.

What Is the Ideal Temperature for an Ice Bath?

The optimal temperature for an ice bath ranges between 7°C and 14°C. This range allows you to reap the full benefits of cold water immersion—such as reduced inflammation, improved circulation, and enhanced mood—while maintaining safety and comfort.

If you're new to ice baths, it's advisable to start at the higher end of this range and gradually decrease the temperature as your body adapts. Always listen to your body and avoid sudden drops in temperature to prevent cold shock.
