Poly Tanks Store Water In A Big Way

Poly Tanks Store Water In A Big Way MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT Miscellaneous 28-2-18 Poly storage tanks from Darco Inc., in Bennett, Colorado make it easy to store a large supply of water underground. The 2,000-gal. units can be plumbed together to extend storage capacity to more than 10,000 gal. These tanks can be used for capturing rain water as cisterns to store well water. Before filling, the tanks must be buried and backfilled with sand to provide proper support. The tanks can be insulated in cold climates. According to Darco Inc. president John Small, the tanks aren't likely to require maintenance for decades other than standard cleaning. Because each tank weighs just 800 lbs., they can be installed by an average contractor or homeowner with small equipment. Darco also sells fiberglass tanks for larger storage requirements. These individual fiberglass units range in size from 10,000 gal. to 50,000 gal.; however they may also be interconnected to increase volume even more. Retail prices for poly and fiberglass tanks work out to an average of $1 per gallon or less, depending on the system size and accessories used.
