need help, im looking into getting some water drums for RO storage. im just curious, i see pictures of the round drum type with what looks to be bulk heads at the bottom. are they just normal bulk heads?? just wondering if i would have any problems due to the fact that the drums are round and the bulk heads are intended for a flat surface.

may be a dumb question, but i would rather be safe than sorry, thanks.

uniseals similar to a bulkhead but for a round surface

mine have a flat surface where the bulkhead goes.

Most of them are flexible enough and the radius is large enough that a standard 3/4" or 1" bulkhead fits just fine. Stock they come with a flat on the bottom for the large bulkhead.

The tanks your looking at are made by Ace Rotomold. A lot of them are made local to me. You should be able to find them at any farm and ranch type store.

I use a 130g horizontal Ace Rotomold tank. It has an iwaki 55rlt as a recirculation pump and a 20 foot nylon hose for adding water to tanks.
