Ok. This natural sea water thing is throwing me a few curve balls. I originally thought,'hey I live on the pacific coast - I got it made!'
Well...
1) Collecting at high tide.
- I haven't quite figured this one out. I don't have a boat. Something tells me I might get desperate and go swimming out with the sharks and a big container.
Maybe there is a long pier or two I can go out on, but then how do I suck the water up? This is going to require a strong pool pump and this leads me to ...
2) Transporting the water home.
- If I figure number 1 out, number 2 is still going to be tricky.
I think I have a solution, but this requires two things I don't have.
2a) A big storage container that will hold a lot of sea water. I found one. BUt they are expenive and cumbersome, see below.
2b) A truck. But my neighbor has one. Hmm....
Anyway, this is what I have found:
Quote:
210 Gallon Poly Pickup Truck Tank
Color: White
Gallons: 210
Length: 60"
Height: 30"
Lbs: 70
The bottom width of the 210-gallon tank can be either 39" or 48" to fit either smaller pickups or full-sized models. Great for hauling drinking water to remote locations, the low profile design keeps the center of gravity low and provides for better rear vision. American Tank Company’s dome-top poly pickup truck tanks are notched to fit over wheel wells and when empty can be easily lifted in and out of the truck. Each tank comes with an 8” slosh-proof lid and a 2” bottom outlet fitting for easy plumbing hook-up.
One piece and molded from tough linear polyethylene for maximum strength with no joints or seams to leak or cause problems, they will not rust, chip, peel or corrode. Tanks are rated for liquids weighing up to 12.5 lbs. per gallon. American Tank Company’supports the manufacturer’s 3-Year warranty. Customer must verify the load carrying capacity of their vehicle before placing any tank into service.

Oh boy. Love to do it. But this is going to be quite an operation. [smiley=sneaky.gif]
What do you think?
