When we added a 1000 liter ibc tank to our courtyard it replaced a 120 liter rain barrel.
Ibc tank water collection.
Rather than use a number of pvc pipe adapters to get down to a garden hose we reused the 2 cap and some spare plumbing parts we had kicking around.
The 275 gallon ibc features a 2 drain port on the front bottom.
First class service and tank.
Any container for water be it a cistern rain barrel or ibc tote needs to be light proof.
This is because if light does get in you are guaranteed the very unrewarding job of cleaning up algae from the container.
I mentioned briefly that we had all our water tanks set up now.
It has a cheap plastic ball shut off valve and a 2 plastic cap that gets screwed on to keep it from leaking.
Add to that speedy delivery and a top quality tank at a reasonable price and what more could you ask for.
Grain feeder built from a 55 gallon barrel and 2x4s.
Ibc water tanks containers supply and collection.
So we moved the small rain barrel over by the guest house where another rain barrel was already sitting.
With these we decided to go with 6mm thick plastic.
Then bought a little plastic connector hose to join them together.
