Yacht water storage links:

I was interested in the options for water storage on yachts. Some
have intergral to the hull storage, but in many of those discussions
there is no direct reference to lining materials. I am not offering
any opinions or "advocating" anything here just links.

I am not totally convinced of paintable coatings. My preliminary
thought is using some sort of liner or those 15 or 55 gallon water
drums, but all options seem to have some issues. Yes the ultimate
option is seen to be having company make one for you once you decide
on the material - metal or plastic.

If you have any comments, suggestions or opinions;} regarding this
topic, contribute if you like....

Coating a soft water tank
We have had success with Devoe thin film epoxies. There are other good
options as well.

International Paint makes a product called Interline 925 that is an
excellent high solids Epoxy Coating. I cant seem to find any data on
it as to service temperature. The only problem with it is that the
steel must be grit blasted to near white condition before application,
and and surface rust that flashes must be removed before application.
Interline 850 is also a good product and is a lot easier to use than
925, but 925 is what I use on all my water tanks.

I am sure that if you can find an International Paint rep in your area
he could look at your application and guide you in the right
direction.

Considerations for potable water tanks
We have adopted the broad policy of not recommending epoxy for
drinking water tanks because of regulatory and safety issues. The
potential problems outweigh the benefits.
