i need a drip tray for my ibc in my new shed i didn't use one in my old shed which caused the shed floor to rot away .can anyone recommend one for me please 

[Stoots]

What about a paddling pool

Why don’t you sort the drips out instead? My 1000ltr ibc doesn’t have any drips/leaks and i bought it about 5 years ago

I've a 600 IBC in my garage. Mine sits on heavy duty black DPM/ pond liner that I also ran up the two walls it sits in the corner of.

Its not dripping i dont have anything to stop water so if i forget it ,it overflows onto floor so just wanted it to sit over a drip tray was gonna drill an hole in floor so the water would run out instead of all over floor

[Stoots]

In that case fit an overflow pipe.. Bit of hose pipe into the side near the top ran outside.

Or get an auto shut off valve fitted.

Does the auto shut of valve completely stop all water, i once suggested to someone about fitting a ball cock they said it will stop water flow but then all the water will then go out of waste instead

If you use a float switch and a solynoid valve to the inlet of your filters then it will cut off all water. Remember to use low voltage to float and solynoid as mains and water aren't good. If using a booster pump you can wire a relay in to switch that off too if it doesn't have a low pressure cut off switch.

Can anyone put any links up for these float switches please

Something like this https://amzn.to/2EZeUVp is about £7 for 2. They are mounted from the top as to me they will be less prone to leak as the hole is higher in the tank.
If you need a 12v relay https://amzn.to/3h3Au8N at under £7 would work. You could use this to switch a 240v or 24v pump if necessary. Only 'play' with 240v if you know what you are doing as it can 'bite' in a big way!!!
For a solynoid valve https://amzn.to/3bm7x6u is about £9 works on 12v takes 100psi and has 1/2inch barbs.
I am assuming you have 12v to power the solynoid? It's a normally closed which means without power it shuts off the flow.
The float switch can be setup to break the circuit when the level rises which would work to break the 12v to the solynoid valve.

Hope that above gives you an idea. There will be lots of other types but Amazon is easy and has lower free p&p limits than some others.

Cheers for that 🙂👍

I’ve got one of these, pricey but it works. It says it won’t shut off when using a booster pump but mine does.

Was it simple to fit bungle i dont have a booster pump as my water pressure is over 100 psi

I bought a complete package from Purefreedom that consisted of IBC, membrane, pre filters, auto shut off...

I don’t think it would be too difficult to fit yourself. You’ll need to cut a hole in the top of the IBC and cut the hose going into the pre filters to fit the solenoid.

Cheers for that 🙂👍

I just received the auto shut of valve fitted it to my tank and filters before ro the valve seems to but fixed in a closed position if you understand what i mean doesn't want to open up n let water through any ideas

[Bungle]

Have you switched it on? By that I mean to the mains electric.

[jk999]

Yes 🙂👍

Sounds like the solenoid, check the wiring.

[jk999]

Is the solenoid the t piece what water goes through
