menglish January 30, 2015 Share January 30, 2015 Anyone considering a group buy for some water storage tanks? I would like to get two 45-55 gallon tanks, one for RODI and the other for making salt water. Any suggestions? Much thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanM January 30, 2015 Share January 30, 2015 Search back a bit, someone had done a recent group buy from NTO, I think, and had kind of a bear of a time getting the tanks here and dealing with their customer support. If it works out you can save a bunch on expensive shipping, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilRams January 30, 2015 Share January 30, 2015 I just picked up a 15 gallon container from Abbey Drum Company in Baltimore. They have every shape and size you could think of in stock. The one I picked up was $35 which I thought was quite reasonable. I could always dig up the contact information for the sales person who I talked to. This is what I bought from them. I know you would be looking at something bigger but just for reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilRams January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 I will make sure to post up the info. It was only last week and I already lost it the invoice... I can always call the company and figure out who I talked to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menglish January 31, 2015 Author Share January 31, 2015 So I did called ABBEY DRUM and got some information on the drums.The drums are $75. and they also have them in a clear and blue colors. the problem with these drums, is that they are tight head, meaning your cannot put a pump in them to mix salt unless you cut it open. I dont like that look :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KC3 February 1, 2015 Share February 1, 2015 (edited) Hey just food for thought. This guy on YT has installed a pothole of some sort in the top of his trash can. It may be a option considering it's about the size of most water tanks. Does anyone know what it is or where to get one? Sorry there's a play button I the middle. I took a snap shot.

KC3 February 1, 2015 Share February 1, 2015 Little google and I found them. They are called marine deck plates. Kc3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilRams February 10, 2015 Share February 10, 2015 I needed something for work and stopped by earlier this week. They do have open top ones as well but they are the kind with a ring around the top that seals the lid to the container. She said they should both be about the same price. Just a heads up incase that works for anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuffyGeos February 10, 2015 Share February 10, 2015 FAIR WARNING: Stay away form NTO, and if you do use them DON'T use Dave. I am sure 8 or 9 other can chime in on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkiboy February 10, 2015 Share February 10, 2015 FAIR WARNING: Stay away form NTO, and if you do use them DON'T use Dave. I am sure 8 or 9 other can chime in on this.good to know to avoid Dave. thanks ken. we used NTO on the first group buy I put together and Robert was terrific, timely, and diligent. I was also able to negotiate better pricing for the containers themselves, the freight, and wrapping protection with him unlike the first woman I was working with when doing recon at NTO.

menglish February 11, 2015 Author Share February 11, 2015 So, it seems like a few folks would be interested in storage tanks. I personally was more interested in the vertical tanks as the space I have is more suitable for some thing tall and thin, like my hot water boiler and not the horizontal ones sold by tractor supply. I have started a conversation with some one from Plastic-Mart and they have tons to choose from. see http://www.plastic-mart.com/category/109/plastic-storage-tanks These will ship from TN. I was trying to get a sense of shipping cost to this area and she said it would depend on how much we would get. She did give me a number for 10 of the VT0065. Cost would be about $250. So, I would be willing to continue talking with her, but I would need to get a pretty good idea of how many tanks and the sizes folks are interested in. So, those who are interested in tanks from this company, take a look at there site and let me know what sizes and how many you are interested in. I will then keep a list and see what interest we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
