The long-awaited water tank group buy
During my church’s recent emergency preparedness drill, I discovered that while many people are doing well on their three month supply of food storage, very few had any type of water storage system. To help correct that, I’ve arranged for a group buy on the same 285-gallon water tanks I was able to purchase last year. These are new (unused) food-grade plastic bladders housed in new/used metal cages. 285 gallons! And it stores in a lot less space than you’d think. While I’m aware of others having stacked their tanks three high, due to space constraints (and a lack of a death wish) ours are stored two high. Here is my setup (click to enlarge): The metal cages allow you to stack, if desired, and protect the hard plastic bladder. These are fantastic tanks because they have a cap on the top for easily filling them w/ your garden hose (or other source), and a spout on the bottom so that gravity is used to create water pressure. This is a far superior system to your standard 55 gallon blue water tanks, which are nearly impossible to stack well, and which require a pump to draw the water up and out. Here are the details on the group buy. PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!
Where
You must live in valley somewhere in between Payson and Salt Lake City (for possible exceptions, email me directly.)
What
285 gallon water tank - food grade plastic bladder housed in a metal cage. Approximate weight when empty: 130 lbs. Approximate dimensions: 4’ H x 3’ W X 4’ L
Price
25 home delivery fee for anywhere in Utah valley. (So, as an example, two tanks would be $515.) These tanks are rarely offered for direct consumer purchasing, and through many other outlets can easily cost double this price! See here for one comparable tank.
When
You have until Saturday, June 20 , to get your money to me.
How
Checks only, made out to PROVCO (not me!). Checks should be mailed to me. When you comment below or email me with the number you would like to order, I will email you my mailing address to which you can send the checks. I will collect these checks and forward them all on to the company processing them. They will not be cashed until the order is processed. Estimated delivery date is somewhere during the week of June 29 - July 3. I will email those who have placed an order w/ any updates I receive. If you cannot be home during the delivery day/time, they will simply be left on your driveway. If you wish to order a tank, please email me with the quantity you desire to purchase. You will then be emailed your total amount due as well as my mailing address. Remember, I must receive all checks by June 20 - no exceptions! (I’m mailing the order out on the following Monday morning.) Feel free to share this order w/ friends. But make sure they follow the above instructions! You’re welcome to get together w/ others and consolidate your orders in order to save on the delivery fee. Okay, that should be it. If you have questions, leave a comment below or email me directly.
