Horizontal Tanks Mixing station

[The Gas Man]

I can’t seem to find any acceptable vertical water barrels on my area and shipping is horrendous. I can find horizontal water barrels though. Are you aware of any plumbing examples for a two horizontal barrel mixing station? I would want a two level shelf with the RO barrel on top and use gravity to transfer the RO water to the salt barrel. I can’t find many examples at all off Google. Maybe I’m just not using good search terms.

I have a Pan World Pump I just bought and have a BRS RO system on the way. Next are the tanks and then I’ll plumb it. Thank you!

How much does that hold per drum out of interest?

75 gallons each. Stackable, but I wanted them under the work benches. As you might know, the darn shipping costs as much as the tanks.

Just keep in mind that RODI water weighs right around 8.14lbs/gallon, salt water’s right around 8.48lbs/gallon…

Any shelving you build/buy would need to be rather robust! — best bet might be stacking them as shown in the above photo!

My use of the term “shelf” was probably not the best word choice. lol If I make it this way, it will be beefy.

I’m thinking I may just use smaller tanks and not stack them. I may go with two 35 gallon tanks which fit nicely without having to turn and stack. It will work well now, just a little annoying when/if I add a second tank.
