ILOTank Stock Tank Pool Kits & Accessories Guide

Got your stock tank pool picked out, or already set up? This guide focuses on what you actually need to enjoy it from day one: the ILOTank kits, what's inside them, and how to choose the right accessories for your tank.

Why choose a kit instead of buying accessories one by one

• Savings: a kit always costs less than buying each item separately.
• Guaranteed compatibility: every item is selected to work together and to match your exact tank size.
• One shipment: everything arrives at once, with a single shipping charge.
• Ready to go: nothing else to buy to start the season.

The season-opening kit

Built to relaunch your pool each spring, or for routine upkeep, this kit bundles the 4 essentials:

• 4 replacement suction cups for the submersible pump
• 6 replacement sponge filters for the ILOTank pump
• 100 water test strips (chlorine, pH, alkalinity, hardness)
• Mini chlorine tablets (200 g)

This is the right pick if you already have your pump and cover, and just want to restock consumables for the season.

The premium kit — the all-in-one solution

To start a brand-new pool without forgetting anything, the premium kit bundles all the equipment you need, matched to your tank size (6', 7', or 8'):

• 3,500 L/h submersible pump with 3 spare filters, for powerful, continuous filtration
• Chlorine tablets (200 g) and a floating dispenser for slow, steady release
• Water test strips to easily monitor pH and chlorine levels
• Submersible heater, so you can enjoy the pool even on cooler evenings
• Custom-fit locking cover, protecting against debris, insects, and the weather
• Rainflow cushion, placed under the cover to create a slope that prevents rainwater from pooling
• Thermometer and 3/4" adapter for the drain valve, for everyday convenience and easy draining

Everything is compatible with ILOTank galvanized steel (6', 7', 8') and polyethylene (6', 8') stock tank pools.

How to choose the right kit for your tank

• Starting from scratch with a new tank: the premium kit, in the size matching your stock tank pool, covers everything — filtration, heating, cover, and treatment products.
• Already have the basics and just need to restock consumables (filters, test strips, chlorine): the season-opening kit is all you need.
• Not sure about sizing: your kit should always match your tank's exact diameter (6', 7', or 8') so the pump and cover fit properly.

Accessories worth considering

Depending on what you're after, a few extra accessories can round out the experience:

• A step or ladder for easier entry and exit
• Floats and relaxation accessories
• Outdoor lighting for evening swims
• Plants or decor around the tank to complete the look

Keeping your kit in good shape

Rinse the filters regularly, store the cover somewhere dry when not in use, and bring the pump and heater indoors before winter to extend their lifespan. Our maintenance guide breaks down the routine season by season.
