Drilled mine, do not want to pull out a hose and filter that have 'love' on them and risk the splash.

So I drilled it, made it solid.

Same here. Dave posted some very good build info in that thread.  We go from the top through a bulkhead and it prevents splash.  I used a drop in tube last year and it creates a daily minor spill.  We still use a draw tube and fill port to fill the containers. and be careful of how your tanks may vibrate and loosen the bulkheads if you use all hard pipe.  Whats great about the aod pumps is that you can add all kinds of tubes and tanks without worrying about priming.   Black are in to the pumpe in these pics, reds are out.  The main mix tank does not have bulkheads, but usually is not hauled with much in it either.  It already had holes to large drilled into the top side area of it.  Each of these tanks can be fed or drawn from or filled from an external source with one pump.

All my tanks are plumbed through the bulkheads in the bottom of them. This is how I bought them. Although this greatly increases the chance of leaks, I've never had any major problems. A slow drip now and again is pretty easy to fix. And pump priming is never a problem.

I noticed the caged in tank. I just bought one from a cleaning supply place used, holds 250 gallons. I was worried about putting love in it. Is that your water tank or love tank?

The caged tank is my water tank. I assume it would be ok to use for roof mix, but these tanks have a relatively thin wall construction, which concerns me a bit.

Bill Im gonna need to see your plumbers license......

 

I agree. They are thin. I don't know what they had in them. A guy that works for a Laundry sells them for $75.00 each. I also got some 55 gallon heavier drums from him for $15.00 each. The drum are top fill only. Plan on using them starting out and will convert when I rig my trailer for next year. Up here in Iowa the weather turns cold about end of October. Small whindow to work. April to October.
