dude is jerkin off the pump

[stevejones1913]

Did he just throw the water pump on the dirty ground before putting it in the water? You better use a filter with that water. Wow. I'm impressed with that ball siphon. I'm using the bigger pump which can be tricky to turn off when your container is full and is way to bulky and I dont trust leaving it out. That smaller siphon would be great since you can keep it cleaner in a bag.

found you can find this off craigslist for 10 to 15 per barrell.

@urkingod It's all about leverage, roll it, lean it, use your body weight etc. MAN UP

[thecoolerstinger]

THATS WHAT I NEED

@urkingod Emergency Essentials sells the smaller siphon Hyrum was demonstrating, along with a hose adapter. They also sell 25 and 50 foot drinking safe water hoses that I believe you can use the adapter with to siphon the water out when the time comes to rotate it. Shelf Reliance sells the larger siphon pump shown here.

if u dont have a way to get the water out its still better to have a barrel full of water than not have one. when your dying of thirst youll find a way to get the water out. oh and when storing water in these platic barrels its best to put a sheet of wood under the barrel during storage to keep chems ect from absorbing from concrete to plastic over years. conrete and other stuff like radon have been known to come up thro concrete and ground

Its a nice tank, is it for drink safe water storage?

If I stored a tank in my garage, and put water inside, there would be no way for me to get the tank out of my garage for water dumping / refilling. Any tip?
