I had a buddy give me two 300 gallon chemical totes. So I set up a watering on one of the properties I hunt that doesn't have any water on it. I set one up as a water storage tank and use the other as a shuttle to refill the storage tank. I just figured a summer watering since keeping it from freezing up in the winter could be a chore. Just tried to keep it simple and cheap but functional.2" reduce down to 3/4" line then just a 5 gallon bucked for a trough and a cheaper float valve. I also wrapped the tank in tarps to try and keep out sunlight and keep algae from growing and added a few cap fulls of bleach. All together I have about $90 in it. Thinking of something to do to keep hogs from jacking with the pvc/valve. Thinking maybe a couple small garden style t-post on either side of the pvc wrapped in 4 point gaucho barbwire but for now I have a pile of the nastiest mesquite limbs I could find stacked around the valve/pvc.
