Ohhhhh looks like fun.
Once upon a time, I was so slim i was able to climb inside juice tanks and scrub them clean of orange residue.
What will you use the water for?

How will you prevent very small particles of organic matter, bird carp etc from growing nasties in the tanks when they warm up?

Excellent! When we did ours my then 10 year old son did that job, without batting an eyelid. Good training. |

Would it be possible to bury one of those in the lawn, with a suitable cover? They are about £195 I recall so great value and lots of karma points for recycling. 101, When you install the wood stove you can send your son up the chimney as well - don't need all that nanny state elf and safety nonsense.  -Paul |
