Ecopool Container Swimming Pool

THE FUTURE OF SWIMMING POOLS

Steel Swimming Pools

Ecopool isn’t your typical backyard pool. It’s custom-built in any size or shape, made from aerospace-grade steel, and wrapped in a high-performance membrane. Smart sensors handle the water chemistry, so you don’t have to. No cracking concrete. No constant maintenance. Just clean, balanced water—always ready when you are.

Design your pool.

From the first idea to the final design, Ecopool is built to your specifications. Choose your interior, features, and more.

CRYSTAL-CLEAR WATER, ALWAYS READY

The Moment

A swimming pool’s first obligation is purity—crystal water held at your exact temperature, always ready when you are. Ecopool fulfills that promise by fusing aerospace-grade tubular steel with advanced analytics in a way residential backyards have never seen.

Each wall is built around 80-ksi high-strength tubes, braced so precisely that the entire vessel can be lifted by a single corner with minimal flex. The steel carries every load, so the membrane lies perfectly flat and the insulation nestles under uniform compression, creating a thermally stable environment that protects water chemistry and deters algae before it can form.

OLYPMIC-LEVEL DATA, IN YOUR POCKET

Intelligent Monitoring

An array of micro-sensors monitors temperature, pH, and oxidation-reduction potential like an Olympic pool. The data flows to your phone in a single, elegant panel that reads like a well-kept financial ledger—no red flags, no surprises, only confirmation that everything is precisely as it should be.

You never wonder whether the sanitizer dosed or the pH spiked with the afternoon heat. You simply glance at the numbers and step into flawless water.

What We Left Behind
A New Framework for Modern Pools.

Most pools still rely on outdated methods—cracking concrete shells, noisy single-speed pumps, and corrosive salt systems that damage both water and surroundings. These compromises have lingered for decades because better options didn’t exist. So we started from scratch. By using high-strength tubular steel, we created a structure that resists shock, pressure, and extreme temperatures without bulk or failure. Around that frame, we rebuilt every system—so waste isn’t reduced, it’s removed.

A POOL LIKE NEVER BEFORE

Benefits of a Steel Pool

Faster, stronger, and more energy efficient than traditional pools, Ecopool is the future of swimming pools. Designed from the ground up, Ecopool leads the way in innovation and sustainability.

AEROSPACE-GRADE ENGINEERING

Tubular Steel with Insulated Core

Imagine the fuselage of a modern jet. Interior and exterior skins, insulated cavity, rigid internal truss. Ecopool panels follow the same logic. A matrix of precision-crafted high strength steel tubes, hand-welded to form a shape that locks tension, compression, and shear into predictable vectors.

Testing confirms wall deflection under full hydrostatic pressure at less than 1/16 inch across 20 feet—six times stiffer than 8 inch concrete and entirely immune to micro-fracture and the infamous concrete cancer. Over this skeleton, dual hot-dip-galvanized steel skins sandwich a closed-cell polyurethane core rated at R-10, preserving heat in winter and expelling excess warmth in summer. Joints between modular assemblies are made tube-to-tube, creating a monocoque that can be assembled on-site.

A POOL THAT MAINTAINS ITSELF

Clear Water, Minimal Chemicals

Water clarity hinges on two tasks: neutralize pathogens instantly and maintain a gentle oxidant residual. Ecopool accomplishes both with a commercial-grade UV-C reactor paired to a micro-dosing sodium-hypochlorite pump. The UV chamber delivers a powerful UV dose in one pass, deactivating 99 percent of viruses and bacteria before they reach the pool.

Downstream, a dosing injector is fed by a peristaltic pump with single drop pulses of pure chlorine. Free chlorine remains near 0.5 ppm—the same level as municipal drinking water—so vapor, odor, and fabric bleaching are effectively erased. Because no stabilizer tablets or salt generators are involved, cyanuric acid and chloride remain under thresholds that damage equipment or landscaping.

POWERED BY ADVANCED ALGORITHMS

Quite Intelligence

Embedded intelligence in Ecopool is the difference between automation and autonomy. Advanced probes measure pH, ORP, temperature every hour. A processor running predictive PID algorithms interprets the data and recommend adjustments before deviations become noticeable. A 24-volt robotic cleaner maps the pool with advanced navigation, scrubs on an optimized path, and turns itself both on and off each day automatically. The technology works in silence.

85% Less. Yet Stronger.

High-strength steel uses material sparingly by design; Ecopool’s space frame tubing requires 85 percent less mass than concrete of equal capacity. The embodied carbon saved at fabrication is only the beginning. R-10 insulation cuts heat-loss energy by up to 80 percent, while net-zero solar generation balances the remaining load across the year. Micro-dosing chemistry reduces total chemical use by roughly 40 percent and eliminates stabilizer byproducts entirely. Every component, from tubing to battery cells, enters a recycling pathway at the appropriate time.

HANDCRAFTED IN SALADO, TEXAS

Factory Precision

Ecopool modules are built inside a precision manufacturing facility that applies aerospace-level process controls. CNC plasma machines cut every tube, and hot air welders lay seams with a level of consistency rarely seen in outdoor construction. Each frame is pressure-tested for waterproof integrity before moving to final assembly.

Insulation is installed, outer skins are bonded, and the internal membrane is heat-welded under uniform temperature and pressure. Before shipping, dimensional lasers verify squareness and structural alignment to ensure everything fits perfectly on-site.

Delivery arrives on a single truck. Single-module pools are ready for water in as little as 30 minutes. Multi-module designs can be assembled by two technicians in under two days—no crane, no rebar, no weather delays, and no compromise on tolerances.

ENERGY-EFFICIENT DESIGN

Net-Zero Pool Standard

The Ecopool protocol is uncompromising. Continuous R-10 insulation. Zero kilowatt-hours drawn from the grid on an annualized basis (with optional solar). Salt concentration capped at 150 ppm. Salt chlorinators, stabilized tablets, booster-pump cleaners, fixed-speed pumps, fossil-fuel heaters, diatomaceous-earth filters, incandescent lighting—are omitted by choice.

Architecural 3D Membrane

Ecopool’s Architectural 3D Membrane transforms pool interiors from mere waterproofing to a sensory experience. Inspired by natural textures like rippled sandbars and layered stone, its embossed surface balances grip and glide—comfortable underfoot and smooth to the touch. Made from a hygienic, non-porous polymer composite called Zycore™, it resists algae, staining, and chemical damage far better than plaster, fiberglass, or tile. With built-in UV protection, it holds its color and integrity for decades while reducing maintenance and sanitizer use. Fully recyclable and available in designer shades, it’s a durable, modern alternative to outdated finishes.

WHERE TEXTURE MEETS TECHNOLOGY

Architectural 3D Membrane

Interior finishes should do more than waterproof—they should elevate the entire swim experience. Ecopool’s Architectural 3D Membrane does exactly that, wrapping each pool in a tactile landscape inspired by rippled sandbars, layered stone, and water-worn rock. Advanced German embossing technology brings these textures to life in a reinforced polymer surface that balances grip and glide with precision. Bare feet feel secure without abrasion, while fingertips trace texture without resistance.

This hygienic surface is non-porous, corrugation-free, and chemically inert—resisting algae, stains, and buildup. Robotic cleaners move freely, and brushes sweep in smooth, even strokes. Offered in a range of designer tones from subtle greys to Mediterranean blues, the finish looks as refined as it feels.

BUILT FOR STRENGTH. DESIGNED TO LAST.

Zycore™ Composite Foundation

Beneath the surface lies Zycore™, a commercial-grade composite engineered in Germany. It fuses flexible polymer layers with a high-strength polyester matrix, achieving tensile strength around 3,200 psi—four times that of traditional concrete renders. UV stabilizers are co-extruded into the membrane, ensuring color and integrity last for decades without fading or damage.

Unlike plaster, it never chalks or cracks. Unlike fiberglass, it won’t craze. And unlike tile, it has no grout to maintain. The smooth, inert surface helps stabilize water chemistry, reducing sanitizer use and saving both time and chemicals. Fully recyclable and incredibly durable, it’s a finish that makes gunite and plaster feel like relics of the past.

The Aerospace Expert Behind Every Ecopool

When you look into the mirror-still surface of an Ecopool, you are witnessing the calm vision of our Director of Operations—a Marine Corps veteran turned Lockheed Martin manufacturing leader who spent seventeen years ensuring America’s F-35 fighters could survive nine-G turns at 35,000 feet. In Iraq and Afghanistan he learned to trust nothing but data.

On the F-35 Wing-Mate line in Fort Worth he guided carbon-fiber wings onto titanium fuselages within tolerances thinner than a human hair, raising build efficiency 17 % and slashing rework 13 % through relentless discipline. That pedigree now governs every Ecopool. Composite panels formed from insulation bonded to galvanized steel and locked inside a tubular space frame the way aircraft spars marry to their skins—every torque calibrated

Aerospace answers the question “Will it last?” with measurable proof. Our leader once achieved a 99.9% capture-rate inspection on thousands of flight-critical components every week. Today, he brings that same zero-defect mindset to your backyard, verifying each panel before a single drop of water enters the structure. The result is a vessel that shrugs off thermal cycling, ground movement, and chemical attack with the reliability of military hardware.

A Marine’s discipline and nearly two decades of composite-bonding mastery co-sign your investment, allowing uncertainty to evaporate the moment you step into the pool. That’s why choosing an Ecopool feels less like a purchase and more like partnering with the people who build the world’s most advanced machines—because, in a very real sense, you are.

FAQs

Explore the Frequently Asked Questions about Ecopool Stock Tank Pools

What's the difference between Ecopool stock tank pools vs traditional stock tank pools?

Our pools are built from a shipping-container core and utilize a polymer membrane liner. Rather than Ecopool's steel being exposured to water and potential rust, our pool interior cannot rust thanks to the polymer membrane liner.

Can I DIY a stock tank pool?

Yes, an Ecopool is an ideal canidate for a DIY pool. Thanks to its prefabricated design, our pools can be setup in just a few short steps. Follow along on our DIY Guide to see how to do-it-yourself

Do I need a permit to install a stock tank pool?

Different cities and municipalities may require a permit to install a plunge pool. Costs, permits, and install will be depend on local laws. You will want to check with your local laws before installing a plunge pool.

How long does it take to install an Ecopool?

The time it takes to install Ecopool depends on your design choice. A small on ground Ecopool can be installed in as little as a day. Larger inground or partially inground Ecopools can take anywhere from 2-4 days to install. It depends on the type of pool you are installing and geographic location. We recommend a gravel or concrete base for Ecopool. A contractor or subcontractor can perform an site inspection and assess your specific needs.

Can stock tank pools be heated?

Yes, our Ecopool stock tank pools can be heated and even can be ordered with a pool heater!

Is Ecopool stock tank pool easy to install and set up?

Yes! Ecopool is built in a factory so the on-site requirements are minimal. The first requirement is a level prepared area capable of supporting the pool. Ecopool comes preplumbed and ready to hook up. The second requirement is to make the final plumbing connections. This generally takes 30-60 minutes. The 3rd requirement is to make the electrical connection. This generally requires an electrician to run power to the pool’s pump.

How long does it take for Ecopool to ship?

It depends on the final design of your Ecopool. A simple 8’x20’ container pool can be ready to ship in as little as 20 days. Larger sizes typically require 3-4 weeks to complete.

Can I change the color of the exterior?

We do offer custom colors on the exterior of Ecopool. There is a fee for custom paint colors. Note that custom colors may extend lead time.

Where do the repurposed shipping containers come from?

All Ecopool shipping containers are single use containers. That means they were newly manufactured and then used to ship cargo overseas. The benefit of using these new containers is that they are still in excellent condition after their first trip before being repurposed into an Ecopool.

I’ve heard rust is a concern for stock tank pools. How does Ecopool address this issue?

Ecopool uses an 8 layer system to protect the wall of Ecopool. The pools interior is a water containing polymer membrane which cannot rust. Unlike some container pools, the design of Ecopool doesn’t rely on the container’s metal structure to contain the pool water. We belive this design is much better surface for sanitation, longevity and appearance.
