a cement septic tank box is only $400 at your local cement company
Sweet, can you give us a break down of the cost of the project. I think it
will help folks who are looking at doing the same thing you are doing.
Thanks dud, good work that thing will last longer than your house probably.
@waveout The best temp I ever got from the old design was nearly 170 deg F.
I plan to have the temp relief valve connected with an outlet to the
outside, because with this design, I have a feeling I am going to need it
As I think this design may get even hotter :).

@ravenbones1 If it can hold a 40 gallon tank, it should work.

@msamour I will have to do that, as this was more expensive than I thought
it would be, lol.
