The innovation is nothing to shake a stick at (or a divining rod), since it allows a relatively narrow profile that makes home installations possible. The Fat Boy can by tucked under eaves, spread out along side yards, even strategically placed as a privacy screen or garden divider, all in the familiar environs of your diminutive homestead. The tanks are made with the sometimes maddening demands of water storage in mind: the polyethylene is UV treated, so no light enters, the water temp. stays constant, and algae growth is completely inhibited; they’re light when empty, weighing a mere 220 pounds; and they feature multiple options for tap, inlet, and oveflow outlet locations, so as to comform with the demands of your yard space. What’s more, installation is a breeze, as the boys from Waterwall demonstrate in this instructional video.
