Cattle Tank Made From Two Hot Water Heater LIVESTOCK Feeding Equipment 24-3-26 When the heating element on a pair of 40-gal. electric hot water heater tanks went bad, Leonard Seltzer, Manhattan, Ill., made a low-cost cattle water tank by welding the two tanks together.
He cut the bottom out of each tank and welded them together end to end. He then cut a rectangular hole in the top and welded on a 6-in. lip. He plugged up all the pipe fittings and used wood 2 by 4 skids to keep the tank off the ground. He also cut a 1-in. dia. hole in the bottom at one end and welded in a drain pipe.
"I use it every summer with my beef cattle. I welded heavy metal bracing inside the tank to reinforce it," says Seltzer.
