Ibc 1000l tank.advice needed.

[Ritchie]

I've been offered a ibc1000l tank which has had PVA glue stored in it, the guy says it will be hot jet washed out and be cleaned before pick up, should I take it or not ? Obviously it's to store water in it, your thoughts please.

Go for it just check your tds when filled or after a 1/4 filled just check it if it's not 0 just empty and start agin u will only have to do it first time after that u will be good to go [emoji106]

Cheers Adam , next door owns a hot jet wash machine and said I can use that if I’m not happy with the tank when I pick it up.

It will be difficult to get rid of everything, and you need it to be pristine if you intend to store pure water in it...

I've done the same , cant remember what was in the tank originally - i think shampoo! I think i went ott probably jetwashed out then filled up with tap water and pumped out to be sure

I use a pond pump and 1 inch hose to transfer to van tank and barrels - fairly cheap good rate of flow

I wouldn't use in a van though - mines in the shed for storage - very thin plastic - not baffled - some put plastic balls in for this - varying opinions see utube

Cheers Deane, it will be used as a static (only if it cleans up 100%) good idea with the pump ?
