Title: thinkin of gettin a second ibc when move to new unit
Post by: richywilts on December 02, 2010, 04:01:16 pm

what the best way to connect up to a second ibc is it better to have one on top of the other or next to each other so that u can get transfer pump into hole at top

looked into this only yesterday ... advice was just connect the 2nd ibc to the first via the outlets of each ibc ... levels will rise and fall pretty much in tandem and then only need 1 transfer pump ... not tried it yet as cant even fill the 1 ibc Ive currently got  :(  .... sounds feasable to me but stand to be corrected ?

thats why im movin unit the unit iv got by sealand is corrugated on wooden frame n all the water lines have burst to the taps so found a cheaper brick built unit in ellesmere port with toilet facilities and double level much closer to home so less travelling

cheers ian

I have two ibc's and they are joined at the bottom works well , if you need the fittings and a piece of pipe then give nick at parquip a ring on 07979068646 he has all the fittings on the shelf . top man

you moving to a proper small business unit? how much do these cost i see them advertised in papers for around 60 70 a week.


thing is tho all water is on meters at them so cost a small fortune.

its 325 a month rent between 2 of us he does all  motocross and that so keep all his gear there, might get away with business rates the landlord said coz it shud be under 6 grand
