Water Mixing Container

[Jody Owens]

I have a one hundred gallon water storage tank I mix salt in. It has an issue that it won’t pull all of the water from the bottom. This is a link to the tank: https://shop.feldmans-fh.com/products/100gal-utility-tank-flat-bottom-8665.html thank you for any suggestions.

I was hoping that I wouldn’t need to do that. I wanted to try and use the pre installed bulk head.

Is your pump at the bottom of the storage container?

If so, add a 90 degree elbow to the inlet - you should be able to get nearly all out.

I have it external because it is an Iwaki.

That is the way I do it now, but it sucks have to use two pumps.

For those who want to buy the utility pump from Sicce keep in mind that BRS has wrong dimensions posted.

The pump is in fact 5.25" round and NOT 4.7" as reported by BRS.

There is a lot of these sprayer tanks used in the hobby with 5" hole, this pump will not fit through the opening and the garden hose type attachment make hard plumbing awkward.

Add a 90 degree elbow to the bulkhead inside the tank with a piece of pvc to get as close as you can to the bottom

Will have to figure out how to get my arm that low

Maybe a longer piece of pvc so you don't have to reach next to the bulkhead, with a pair of Channellocks. Just throwing an idea I know it's different when the stuff is in front of you.

I got a 90 degree street elbow on it tonight. Lets hope I got the bulkhead sealed.
