Space for IBC Tanks
Hola, today we made more space around our main water storage, to fit two new IBC tanks, buffering water from the village ram pump.
Improving the supporting edge. -The blocks of concrete are inclined slightly in the direction of the tanks.
Here’s the old tank, which was installed without any protection from the sun. It has now whitered and cracked from exposure to the elements. Two new tans are getting prepared with a protecting layer of black acrylic paint, and a protecting screen made of cane, to shade out the sun since it would otherwise heat up our black tanks in the desert sun.
¡Hola! Hoy hemos hecho más espacio para dos depósitos para el agua que recogemos de la bomba de ariete.
Los bloques de hormigón están ligeramente inclinados en la dirección de los tanques.
¡Ya hemos retirado el depósito blanco y estamos esperando los dos negros!
