Super easy setup, in under an hour
- Place the tank on any flat, level surface. No digging, no construction.
- Fill it with your garden hose (a few hours depending on your water flow).
- Drop in the submersible pump: its filters are built in and its suction cups hold it to the side wall of the tank. No drilling, nothing to install. Plug it in and you're done. Turn it off and take it out before swimming.
Upkeep is just as simple: rotate the sponge filters and keep 0.5 to 1 ppm of chlorine or bromine in a floating dispenser.

The Complete Starter Set + Pump includes the submersible pump, 3 replacement filters and everything to treat your water: $159.00.
Our tip
The 8' x 3' is the roomiest of our ovals: perfect for stretching out in the water. Keep chlorine between 0.5 and 1 ppm, with no shock treatment or salt, to protect the galvanized steel.

â ïž Good to know before you buy
Our tanks are made of sturdy galvanized steel, originally designed for farm use. Light dents or scratches on delivery are normal: they are not a defect, but part of the material, the manufacturing and the shipping (the tank is moved by rolling it on the ground).
â Your tank is 100% new. This rustic look is part of its charm.
*By placing your order, you acknowledge this characteristic of galvanized steel tanks.
â Frequently asked questions
When will I receive my tank?
This is a pre-order for summer 2027: delivery or pickup takes place in spring 2027. We'll email you to schedule it.
Do I need a fence or a permit?
In Quebec, the provincial regulation covers basins with 60 cm of water or more: with an interior height of about 58 cm, this tank is not a pool under that regulation. In Alberta, a provincial rule also covers pools deeper than 60 cm; elsewhere in Canada, municipal by-laws apply, often around 60 cm, but some cities are stricter. Always check with your municipality. See also our regulations guide.
Basin or pool, safety comes first
Even below the threshold, any basin of water calls for the same care: always supervise children. For our round tanks, ILOTank had a custom-fit cover made that locks with 6 latches, to keep the tank closed when no one is swimming. It is included in every Premium Kit (6', 7' and 8').
Which water treatment should I use?
Chlorine or bromine in moderation: keep it between 0.5 and 1 ppm, with no shock treatment and no salt. A higher level wears down the zinc coating and can damage the galvanized steel.
How do I keep the water clear?
A submersible pump with sponge filters makes all the difference. During the season, simply rotate the 3 filters; the pump only needs cleaning at closing.
How do I heat the water?
With our 1500 W submersible heater with timer. Important: always remove the heater before swimming.
What do I do in winter?
Empty the tank and turn it upside down on blocks so air can circulate and moisture doesn't build up. No cushion or cover needed in winter.
Can I return my tank?
Because of the logistics involved with this bulky product, returns are not accepted once delivered. Write to us before you buy: we'll help you choose the right size.
Can I talk to someone before buying?
Of course! Text us at 438-814-8692 or email info@ilotank.ca: Annie, our founder, replies to you personally within 1 to 2 business days.
