The Dreaded Water tank Nightmare

for a month i've been plagued by our leaking pressurized water tank. it started with tiny drops of water under it.then eventually leading to a pressurized water leak. it even made me file a leave at the office several times because i can't take a bath. =))

i started putting some water based sealant onto it several weeks ago just to minimize the leak.

after a couple of days it started to leak big time again.

this glorified water tank is about 3 feet tall. made out of galvanized steel. not sure about the capacity.

the water tank is rusted inside so it slowly eats the metal below the tank.

2nd time i tried using a steel epoxy. good for a couple of days after that it start leaking again

3rd time - this time i'm really serious about this water tank. i'm badly stressed out with so many problems. with this thing adding up to my misery.

so i decided to remove the water tank from its mounting. my guess is that. the adhesives won't

propery stick to the tank because of the rust so i decided to sand it first and then i'll apply the adhesives




i have mounted the water tank. will fire it up tom. see if it will still leak.
