Local Source for Water Tanks

[AHDOnline]

I am looking for a local source where I can purchase a 100 gallon water tank.

I have checked tractor supply and they are really high, and usplastics online i can get one for about 200$

I would prefer vertical.

Does it have to be 100 gallon? I get 65 gallon barrels for like $6 or $8 from D'ellalo's warehouse off of route 30. The entire top screws on and off and has a gasket to seal. I just use uniseals for the bulkheads.

No it really doesnt, thats just what will fit in my area max size.

I can always put two together for that price. Im just looking for salt mix storage.
Do you have a pic or dims of these?

I can get you a pic of my water setup later. The barrels are about 22" at the widest part and about 40" tall.

Thanks. Sounds like the right size. Do you know what they stored? I tried to find that place online but no luck.

black and green olives. I rinsed mine with water first then a water and vinegar mix and let it sit for a couple days and then rinsed again. RO/DI reads 0 so they are fine. I like them cause they are solid and no light can get in.

call the DeLallo's on route 30 in jeannette and ask for their warehouse number. Just tell them you are looking to buy the plastic barrels. They will give yo the number of the warehouse. I just checked my BB but don't have the number on it. The warehouse is only another 10 minutes away.

Yeah i couldn't even find that, I got it now.

Have to figure out when i can get down that far.

Thanks

If you go and pick a few up I will take one - let me know when, I will pick it up at your house- have been meaning to get over to check out your tanks anyhow- now I will have an excuse.

I'd be interested in one too.

Here is a couple pics of the 65 gallon barrels. I have them setup in the basement right below my tank. I have a mag 18 that pumps RO/DI water up and into a smaller 30 gallon barrel that I use for the ATO. You can see the lid in the last two pics. It has the solid piece that fits down inside and the ring that screws down over top to hold it in place. I just drilled the lid and put a JG fixture in it for the RO/DI.

Interesting. I have a dozen of 8 gallon version of that.

The sidewalls look fairly thick is that right?

Thanks for the pictures

They are pretty thick. I drilled through them with a hole saw and put a uniseal with 3/4 pipe. They don't flex at all. You would have to stand on the side of it to get it to bend. They are a dull orange so I painted them.
