rick165 said: (quoted from post at 03:57:09 02/23/09) the holding tank for my spring water is made of cement blocks.i would like to raise the water level by making another hole 2 blocks higher for the overflow.that would give me more water storage whats the best way to make a hole through cement blocks.and the best way to seal it up around the 1-1/2 pvc pipe that will be used for the new overflow drain thanks RICK
I did exactly this on my tank: use a core bit to make a nice neat hole. Don't try to seal the plastic to the concrete, use an 1/1/2" tank connector with neoprene gasket inside. If you can't find a long enough connector, then I'd use silicon sealant. What I found a few years later was that the bottom cement blocks were deteriorating perhaps due to the extra head, or perhaps just age & acidic water. I replaced my block tank with a plastic one - piece of cake!
