Pool/pond cleaning?

I have to spray out the junk at the bottom. That's how it is.

I made a slightly elevated pad for a 55 gallon stock pond and plumbed a drain into a sewer clean out behind my garage. It's very convenient. I use well water to rinse and fill it just about every day they use it. It's taken about 7 weeks to train them to walk up the ramp but now they do it whenever they want usually 3 or 4 time a day when we let them out.

During August and September when our ducks natural water gets low or dries up, we use small tubs (smaller than kiddie pools). Currently we have three of them, and we fill them in the morning and refill maybe twice a day. The volume of water is small enough that it's easy to manage (and our ducks' pasture is next to the garden). We used a kiddie pool one season, and we won't go back to that. I know people say they empty it once a week, but I can't see doing that--it's a mess after a day. We've come to appreciate that the ducks do just as well in much lower volume water, and it's so much easier to manage.

where did you get your tubs from?!

Two are from TSC, and one is from Lowes.

I have a small kiddie pool and every morning I empty it out of the pen and refill it
