Fitting Bottom Drain to IBC
Posted: Fri Jun 26, 2009 9:28 pm
Hi Guys,
After being inspired by Andy’s pond build I've decided to sort my very crude growing on tank now to get it can get it up and ready in time for the Cuttlebrook autumn harvest.
At the moment i just have a pump fed black box filter setup on a insulated IBC tank , all stuck in my shed. I'd like to cut a 3" bottom drain in and convert a spare water butt i have into a more substantial gravity feed filter.
I know a few of you guys on here have IBC tanks set-up and wondered if anyone has tried this? I don’t think it will be a problem, I'm just concerned it might not be possible to get a proper seal against the rigid plastic of the IBC? Anyone have this working on their set-up?
Thanks
Dex
