Refrigerator for water storage.

[Philwill93]

Hey guys I have found a comercial stainless steel refrigerator.
I measured it and looks like it will hold close to 400 gal.
So, so you think this a good start on water storage.

I'll have to find out the details, but the best part is he has 2
and there free if I want them.

Forgive for asking are those things water tight ? Also is the insulation and lining water tight and / or able to handle the heat ? What about the door opening ?

 

[Eric Johnson]

I might be wrong, but I think leaddog has something like that for storage.

also Eric, How close can I put an EKO to the house and still be safe?
I was thinking of attaching an extended roof off the house for EKO
and a storage tank near DHW tank and most plumbing.

I don't think there's any safety issue with putting a gasifier like the EKO in an attached shed or other enclosure. As long as your chimney meets code, I think that's a good way to go.

My tank is made out of walk in freezer panels so they arent quite the same but you will have a head start on insulation. Make sure they are reinforced and strong as there is a lot of force when it is full on water.
The best part is if they are free they are worth at least $.80 a lb for scrap and that isn't chicken feed. If they don't work out you will have some seed money to do something else.
