does anyone know of anywhere reasonably local to me (Selby) where i can get hold of something with a big enough capacity to store enough rainwater for a rain flush system? i need about 1000 - 2000 litre capacity, which is about 2 IBC containers. I can find people selling them online but they want a fortune for them, and as for big rain butts, well overpriced isnt the word :cry:

Have a look here.  I think they deliver   Intermediate Bulk Container

To sidetrack this ever so slightly, I've been looking for water butts myself, and can't believe the prices the shops want for 'toy-sized' ones. Was thrilled to find a water conservation group sponsored by another city, who make rain barrels from used heavy duty bulk food shipping barrels. The group is non-profit, so they just charge for materials and taxes. The barrels are the 220 L size, so perfect for home use. Imagine my surprise to find that a local farm supply store also carries the same barrels, for only $1 more (cheaper than petrol for a 3 hour round trip), which I can now convert myself. My big project for next year.

ive asked them for a delivery quote, but i think the delivery will be the expensive part. I had a look at the rest of their range - those blue barrel water butts the do for £15 are half the price of any other 'garden' butt ive seen anywhere with that capacity.

Im going to be really cheeky and ask at a local food factory if they have any surplus IBCs or barrels. Its worth a go.


Trillium, how much does your local supplier charge for them? you said a dollar more, but not how much in total!
