Thats awsome. Thank you so much for sharing this video. I just built my stand unknowingly used similar dimensions as yourself. However it would seem the ground around mine is not competent and today we noticed that the tank has started to sag on the one side. I was questioning myself and my abilities and turned to you tube for help and found your video. Now I have the task of figuring out how to get it all stabilised and safe again. Any suggestions or references would help. Thanks again. 🇿🇲
Hi Mark, thank you so much for this video Am about to build a structure for my 5000L tank and my pump uses SOLAR. I wasn't sure if i should build a low ground cement/ brick floor or a tall 6m steel structure for it since it's a bigger tank as compared to the 2500L one Now am going ahead with the 6m steel structure. QUESTION: Would you perhaps know if i will also need a SOLAR PRESSURE pump or not, since the stand will be 6m high? Am gonna use the water for both irrigation and household. TIA
you have 2 options, either you add a pressure pump and have no problems or run with free flow and live with what you get? Trial and error, if you start without a pump and it works fine, then leave it as it is.
every 1m you lift water you get 10kpa pressure, so 6m =60kpa and I have a 40mm ring feed around my property to get even distribution of water and pressure.

@@markjansenvanvuren7811 what r u using to lift up the pump?
Why does it have to be so high up? Security measure or has to do with the water pressure?
Water pressure 1m = 10kpa therefor 6m = 60kpa
every 1m you lift water you get 10kpa pressure, so 6m =60kpa and I have a 40mm ring feed around my property to get even distribution of water and pressure.
Is your stand standing on the ground or u dig it in the ground?
The stand legs are 1m into the ground with concrete 450x 450
@@markjansenvanvuren7811.. 1 meter is that not too much.. We also installing jojo
@@darinakhalid8342 You can do less but it depends on the soil, I am just being safe.
@@markjansenvanvuren7811 ok got it thanks
@@darinakhalid8342 where r you base?
what are you using to lift jojo
I used a 1 ton winch bolted to the tank stand and then I connected it to my lawn tractor's 12 volt battery.
How much for 5000 lt
Only the price of the tank, I had all the other material, if thats what you asking
@@markjansenvanvuren7811 price only
@@paulkizito7152 I paid R 6000 for the tank at Mica Hard ware Ventersdorp
