Auxilary Water Storage

[Scotty2]

Aside from customizing propane tanks and building in-ground storage... what recommendations do you have for 'off the shelf' hot water storage...say in the 1000/1500 gallon range?
Is SS better? or will a regular steel tank work?
do most folks spray foam auxiliary tanks?
Regards, Scotty

Well I'm no expert by any means but I would say it depends on if you are going pressurized or nonpressurized.

If non is your way to go then as far as holding the water goes anything that will hold the capacity you are looking for will work then you adapt your exchange method to that. And insulate by any means necessary.

If pressurized is your way to go then I would think you would need some kind of certified vessel to hold the capacity (propane tank, air tank, ect.). Material doesn't matter much on pressurized because once the O2 is depleted from the system it shouldn't be able to rust any.
