This shit is retarded

[MrDavidjohn66]

these type of tanks are fantastic ,there are some real dumb asses in the world,,if you want proof ,just read the dumb arse comments below

FOR MY MONEY, AND FOR MY LAZINESS, I WOULD USE A WOOD OR PLASTIC BARREL AND THEN PURIFY THE WATER USING A BERKEY WATER SYSTEM USING THE BLACK BERKEY. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW A GOOD COMPANY TO BUY ONE, SEND ME A MESSAGE. MIGHT USE A BIT OF CHLORINE OR UV LIGHT AS WELL.

There is only one place to find true Abundance and it's within you... your videos help us with that focus.

what did you use for the roof?

[LESTERBATE]

Nice try. What a piece of crap. Where's the top? No algae growth?? B.S. There are millions of plastic black water storage tanks worldwide that beat the hell out of this thing, plus, you can move it, take it with you and disinfect it.. At least you put a level on the bottom, it's the only thing precise.

@LESTERBATE plastic makes the water stink like plastic. asshat. and you are a liar those black storage are for watering your yard. this is for drinking.

[LESTERBATE]

@datzfast - There are many companies that make plastic tanks for drinking water. I make NSF certified fiberglass water storage tanks for drinking water storage. Neither taint the water with any plastic taste. What you built is a joke and it appears that you never completed it. Your tank has such a rough surface that it is a breeding ground for bacteria and would be very difficult to clean/disinfect. You are a moron. I suspect you are a victim of inbreeding. Do you disagree?

[LESTERBATE]

If you want to build your own tank, get some cinder blocks and build one. Be sure to plaster the inside for a smooth surface and better yet paint the inside with an epoxy paint after the plaster dries (could take a couple weeks), otherwise the paint could bubble.

[datzfast]

@LESTERBATE better idea is to tile the inside with ceramic tile. its as cheap as the paint and it can be pressure washed spotless if needed. your ideas really suck

[LESTERBATE]

@datzfast - Again, you do not know what you are talking about. Tile needs a grout line which collects dirt, bacteria, etc. plus it can leak. Look at any tile floor. Supplying and installing is as cheap as paint? Really?? Have fun on a curved surface like your tank. Pressure wash? How about a brush and some diluted clorox and you are done. Good luck in life. I feel sorry for you. Last post.

@LESTERBATE dude you make a lot of good (and true) points. and yes this one is not the best construction. but makeing permanent water storage (cistern) concrete is one of the cheapest ways to go. plus if done by professionals or someone who knows what they are doing, the inside surface can get pretty smooth polished even. for easy cleaning, the idiot you were talking too realy dont know crap as i am sure you figured out. but just pointing out that concrete is a great storage container.

[datzfast]

@LESTERBATE take it with you where to the moon? WTF 300 gallons of water is 2100 lbs if you empty it you still have no water, if you can fill it you dont need to store water. i really think your insane.

[Tralgit]

same technology as is used for "ferro cement "boats, they are cheap to build and last a long time.

[christo930]

wouldn't plastic have been better? It seems to me that it's very energy intense, brittle, heavy and expensive. Why not just use a plastic drum?

[1badwhitey]

well, ferro cement tanks (per gallon of capacity) are alot cheaper than plastic drums. also, plastic drums usually have problems with algae growth, since sunlight penetrates above ground plastic rather easily. these aren't hard to build at all.

[enricucho33]

Is this system suitable for make a septic tank?.under the ground level?, how to resolve the difficult of the lack of space of work between the walls and the wire structure?.. thaks..

[ReplicaChile]

the best and complite vid of this process, the techology of the real world, excelent .

5 stars.

[jbjanknegt]

Very nice. How much did you spend on materials?

[svillethomas]

That was pretty cool. I'd like to know how it holds up when it gets some water in it the first time.

[thejesters1975]

Cool!good video.
