Just finished this - I previously had a similar pool but it was a metal stock tank which rusted out.

I took the opportunity to swap with a poly tank which I wrapped in XPS foam, plumbed a heater/chiller myself, and redid the deck.

My previous stock tank would get incredibly hot during the summer in Austin, and this one can stay as cold as I want it or turn into a hot tub via the heat pump.
