Jeremy thanks for that great info. The one I imagined was underground tanks for freeze protection. Do you have to drain during the winter? I was really intrigued by the system controller/monitor. I like to nerd out on stuff like that.

I have a solar system with a monitoring control gateway that will give me all kinds of statistics about consumption and generation.

I do plan on painting the IBC 😎

You’re welcome. It would take harsher winters than we typically see where I am to freeze the tanks to the point of being a problem. The main concern is the line running between the tanks and to the pump, which are insulated and covered with dirt and mulch. I can isolate each component and drain the line. Takes about 3 minutes. I do that if we’re going to see sustained below freezing temps.
