I just bought a '79 Alajuela 33 with a leaky stainless fresh water tank. I've read (D. Casey, N. Calder) that linear poly has many advantages over stainless. I've pulled the old approx. 70-gal. tank, planning to replace it with a couple of molded poly tanks. I still miight. But now I'm wondering if it's feasable to get the welded seams ground out and re-welded with the correct wire or rod and...

Thanks to advise I got from members on this site, I have finally decided to go ahead with my salt water tank project. I bought a 125 ga (1/2 inch thick glass with custom stand. It was a bit expensive for a used tank but the tank looks amazing with the custom stand. It included the tank and stand 100lbs of crushed rock, 3 containers of salt, testing materials and chemicals, a used Eheim 2217 and ...

Well 2 days ago I woke up to an icy cold shower. Took a look at my hotwater tank and the pilot light had went out. I tried to relight it, but as soon as I released the red override button the flame goes out. I replaced the Thermocouple thinking that was the issue, and it has the same problems. Its ...

How do you calculate the thickness or guage of a given metal (304 Stainless Steel for example) for a 36" dia. round, vertical cylinder water holding tank? If filled say the tank would be 25-30 feet tall. No physical pressure (pumps or vacuum) on this vessel (vented to atmosphere). Flat bottom, not a bulkhead style base. Not sure if water temp matters but for...

I've been clearing out my mother in law's attic in preparation for insulation. Attic will be covered in 250mm insulation. Problem I have is an old metal water tank that was replaced with a plastic tank is still up there and too big to fit through the access hole. I have an angle grinder but that will create sparks and probably set the place alight. What other options have I got? I'm not ...

My tank takes 3/4" BSPM fittings, but they keep leaking (testing with air). The trouble is, the fittings don't screw all the way in, so I basically have to pack them out with loads of PTFE tape to get a seal, which I'm not happy about. Perhaps that's the way the pros bodge it? I'd prefer fittings that screw all the way in, but a suitable washer would work too I suppose. I'm not convinced ...

I am about to install a rain catchment system on my house. I plan to store the collected water in 2-500 gallons tanks. I see online that there are 2 widely available colors of tanks, green and black. I am planning on putting the tanks on the s side of my house, in full sun. Im not sure that the green poly tank will be totally opaque. Unfortunately the green tanks seem much more common ...

Hello, My water tank has some leaks due to freezing. It appears that this is a common part (part # AP3205548 ) and I can order from this site. I have never done this type of part replacement and wonder what level of expertise is needed. I am handy with tools and have installed the waterline to this fridge from across the room. As long as there are no special tools needed I believe I can does...

I recently noticed that there is water coming out of the overflow on the side of my house. After a bit of inspection, I see that the hot water storage tank is overflowing into the hot water header tank (which now contains extremely hot water). I also see the the ball valve in the header tank is leaking, adding additional cold water to the header tank. If i fix the ball valve, does that ...

Yup, turned out to be fairly easy, but im quite handy so it helps out. But i did enjoy wrenching at it for a while, im pretty sure the name of the guy that assembled my unit was "Superman".. or at the very least "He-Man"

Reweld the tank. Stainless is an excellent material for water (and fuel ) tanks. The water picks up no taste as plastic and fibreglass can, you won't get Alzheimers as with aluminum , and it's very long lasting as jrd and others have said. Every food processing plant, brewery, soft drink plant or dairy is stainless from one end to the other. After all, the tank did last 30 years! Any welder ...
