Would you trust this?

[Schplitter]

I know, if I have to ask them it's obvious I should not but I will anyway...

This is a 29gal 14 day temporary RODI tank while I'm out of town. I may not have enough time to build a simple 2x4 stand for it like I planned so I was thinking: "how do I do this quickly"? Ghetto for sure but will it hold? It has to be elevated because my ATO is gravity fed. I don't trust traditional ATO's.

What do u guys think?

well its not pretty but i think it will hold. thats only 250 lbs or so completely full

When are you leaving? And what's the 29's dimensions? I have a 2x4 stand 36lx18wx38ish tall you are welcome to borrow. You may have to throw a piece of plywood over the top to fit the 29.

I would just toss a piece of plywood over the buckets and call it a day, though the lumber is likely just fine. Cylinders are pretty structurally sound.

It looks fine to me, in fact, I've probably done worse over the years.

 

[Scubareefman]

I would put a chunk of plywood over the 2/4 but that's just me.

 

[Jade5051]

Do it!

 

[richieii]

Looks good

 

[Koddie Doo]

I think you are fine, but you could use cinder blocks if you wanted

I just could not do it. Ended up buying another brute trash can.

And you have it sitting on that easily collapsible plastic container?

 

[johnike]

Is that a food grade can also?

I say that we make this really interesting...

Put the brute on top of the tank, on top of the 2x4s, on top of the salt buckets.

That was my thought was well. It doesn't look like a Rubbermaid Brute and the plastic looks a little thinner than what you normally see on a food grade can.

Is that a food grade can also?

 

[Pife]

It has to be fairly small given his tank is a 110 in the back ground.

 

[Schplitter]

It's a food grade Brute just like the one I have downstairs for my RODI. That plastic bin underneath was just to see how high I need to go. I stacked 2x4's like Jenga blocks and then put a piece of 1" plywood on top then the Brute. It's 32gal.

I stacked 2x4's like Jenga blocks ...

Jenga! I want to play.

 

[Schplitter]

Jenga! I want to play.

Haha. Please don't! Haha
