Pool & Spa design and installation. DIY Pool build packages available. We cover all aspects of back yard design including hardscape and landscape.

"We were captivated by the witty website and featured pool projects and then Brian completely sold us on Calif Custom Pools with his willingness to make revisions to our design as we considered all the possibilities. George was a dream to work with—he managed every detail and we had excellent communication at every stage of the process. Every crew that came—from excavation to cement and tile, plumbing and electric, fencing and more—was professional, courteous and respectful. In 30 years of house projects this massive venture was our best experience. They went above and beyond as I also worked with George Sr to do some fencing and painting. I recommend them most highly!"

"This is my one-year anniversary of using Ogre Dan's pool service and I couldn't be happier with the results. I used to maintain my pool myself and every year around this time I would be fighting the black and green algae. Now my pool is beautiful, clean and blue. I'm so looking forward to having the family over for swimming this year and I have Ogre Dan's service to thank. Erin, who services my pool, is always courteous, responsible and efficient. In addition, he is always careful to look after my dogs when he is on-site. He even picks up my Amazon deliveries and brings them up to the house. These guys are the best and I recommend them to anyone who wants quality pool service."

FAQs for swimming pool above ground build or installation projects in La Mesa, CA

Stock tank pools last for 10 years or more with regular maintenance and repairs. The longevity depends largely on how well you care for the pool, including regular water testing, chemical balancing, and prompt attention to any developing issues. 

For metal tanks, managing rust is crucial—immediately addressing any scratches or damage to protective coatings helps extend the pool's useful life significantly.

Permit requirements vary by location. Many municipalities don't require permits for temporary structures under a certain water depth, but some areas have specific regulations for any water feature. 

If your stock tank pool includes electrical components like pumps or filters, additional permits might be necessary. Contacting your local building department before installation helps avoid potential fines or removal orders.

Yes, stock tank pools can be installed partially in the ground, though this approach requires careful consideration of drainage and structural support. For metal tanks especially, proper protection against ground moisture is essential to prevent accelerated rusting. The added complexity of a semi-buried installation may warrant professional assistance to ensure proper setup and longevity of your investment.

Preventing rust in metal stock tank pools requires proactive maintenance. Remove rust spots early using vinegar and a wire brush, followed by treatment with naval jelly or rust dissolver according to manufacturer instructions. After cleaning the area thoroughly, apply zinc-rich paint to create a protective barrier. Regular water chemistry testing and maintenance help prevent conditions that accelerate corrosion.
