How often to change water in 100 gallon stock tank

[Bryana2002]

Trying to make my life a little easier and stream line the cleaning/mess. Currently we are using a baby pool for our 8 ducks and dumping/changing all the water daily. Thinking of getting a 100 gallon stock tank with a drain. How often do I need to change soemthing that size? Once a
Week? More often? They have a waterer in the coop overnight but they drink the pool water during the day as well as swim in it. Thanks!

I use a 275 gallon poly tank - or maybe 255. I only clean it out once a year.

My kiddie pools I dump and change weekly.

i have a pool that is a little over 100 gallons (maybe 110?) and we drain it like twice a week, i only have 4 ducks though

The stock tank I have is only 50 gallon and I have to drain and refill every 3 days.
Large kiddy pool the same this is for 14 waterfowl.

has anyone use solar pump to pump water for their poultry birds? my ducks always dirty the water, so need to change the water too often. I need an automatic system that will pump clean water to the drinking buckets and the dirty water in the buckets to return to a sump tank which is to be use for the garden plants. any recommendation for solar water pump is appreciated

Anything with enough power to pump that much water will cost a few bucks. Have you looked at solar panels, deep cycle batteries and 12v pumps at Harbor Freight?
