I was looking for a new rain storage barrel and came across this:
http://www.bevoworks.com/250-gallon-rain-barrel-with-diverter-c-80-p-1-pr-833.html
The only collapsible water barrel on the market, STC’s, 250 Gallon knockdown barrel with diverter catches roof water runoff for watering lawns, irrigating gardens and topping off birdbaths and swimming pools while cutting back on that summer water bill. Great for areas experiencing water shortages or water restrictions, the rain barrel comes with a filter, tap and overflow valve. Best of all, the barrel drains and collapses quickly for easy, compact storage at the end of the season.
The barrel is made of heavy-duty, puncture-resistant laminated 3-ply UV-resistant polyester for strength, durability and weather-resistance. An easy-access zipper hides filter to keep leaves and debris from rain barrel. Supported by heavy-duty resin legs, the barrel's overflow valve at the top keeps water from pooling up and attracting mosquitoes. Perfect for gardens and patios with limited space, a threaded release valve at the bottom lets you attach a hose to run rainwater to thirsty plants. Five heavy-duty resin legs offer plenty of support. Legs slide into the material for easy assembly.
Seems like this could work as a water storage solution where it isn't possible to get a larger plastic contain in an area (indoor fish room for example). Anyone using anything like this for tank water storage?
Thanks,
