hi friends !I just finished the restoration of an operating water tower,the original version,
so now that the mechanic and electrical work was done I replaced the old hoses with new surgical rubber ones and after that I filled the tank with 50% water 50% white vinegar and let it sit for two days and flushed a lot of rust and dirty water.I repeated this twice until no rust came out.here comes the best part,after making sure no rust was left I refilled the tank with GLYCOL ANTIFREEZE from pep boys and added three drops of edible color for contrast.
now I can live the tank loaded and ready without worrying about anymore rust problems.try it it really works great!!!!
best regards.
