  • Where to buy Dip Tanks

    At our allotment we are allowed to use hosepipes but our water consumption has doubled this year and we have had a massive water bill. We are considering banning hosepipes and installing dip tanks.

    Hence the question where to buy dip tanks, does anyone know where these can be purchased at a reasonable price? We are based in Dagenham, Essex.

    Many thanks

    Lisa

      Whether I am not wording things correctly I don't know.

                    I called in to the Agricultural Engineers today where old gal Marley used to work and what they sell as Cattle Drinking Troughs is what will do the job for you.
                    the 3ft one @£60 4ft@£70 5ft@£85 6ft @£90all plus vat.
                    You have to buy a service box extra that has the ball valve and various bits inside @ £35 .
                    I hope this helps you sort the job out .jacob
