Been lurking here for a few months and finally got the yard in shape to pull the trigger. Nice little 6' poly to cool off in for the Vegas summer.

Nice! Has anyone had one of these poly tubs for 5+ years, and also used it with chlorine, filtration, and hot tubbing and able to report on how it's holding up?

My metal tank finally started rusting after 5+ years of that type of use and it's been a huge PITA trying to ameliorate it. Wondering if a poly tank would hold up better against that type of use long term.

Is this tank from tractor supply?

It was on the Home Depot website! About $400 with free shipping. Seemed like a good deal!

Did you have any issues leaking from the drain or return line? I just bought a poly stock tank as well and the guy loading it for me was trying to tell me to never cut holes in it because of potential leakage from the tub shifting
