What style pump will you be using?

 

[David O'Connell Jr]

We have had houses here use 150 gallons at a clip

What style pump will you be using?

delevan 5800, if you have a better choice let me know.

that sounds like a lot of roof mix. that cant be for an asphalt roof, is it?

I had one day before yesterday that we used 125 gallons on it was 4200 square foot plus a shop and a 3 car garage ..... probably 5500 total

is that the sq ft of house & garage or just the roof?

 

[Russ Spence]

5500 is about the total of all

Absolutely. 2- 60gal tanks can make 150gal @ 40%. 2 tanks can give you the option to mix on sight to the specific maturity of the algae.

Nah, Tile roof

where can i order 30 gallon tanks from, i cant find them anywhere. only 50 and better.

my truck doesn't have enough room for two 60 gallon tanks im definitely going to have to go smaller.

I have a 30 gallon drum laying around that takes up even less room (horizontally).That would free if you can find one.

thanks for the info! i think that tank should do the job but i need to take the demensions of the back of my pickup to see if it will fit. i also need to find a way to stabilize it back there.

dont they sell straps or something to suspend the tank?

 

[DustinC]

I've never seen any specifically for tanks just metal straps or u shaped steel pipe. For a 30 gallon tank I'm sure regular cargo straps will be just fine. like these. http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_200333961_200333961

im really going to have to think about how to set this up. im thinking two 30 gallon tanks & delevan pump & also ill have to find a decent hose. the winter is coming so i will have plenty of time to figure it out.
