Basics
- A Trademarked Combination of a Water Storage Container and Interlocking Bricks
- While not as Ergonomically Ideal as a Jerry Can or as Storage Dense as an IBC Tote or 55 Gallon Drum they do allow for modular setups that fit a space (Such as a home Walk In Pantry or Garage nook better, and allow for Storage/Stockpile Capacity to be built up Gradually (and thus POTENTIALLY more affordably, Financing notwithstanding)
- Also unlike a Cistern or fixed Rainwater Storage Tank they are highly portable
- Also unlike fixed storage tanks or Large Totes/Drums they also can be moved around and used as small containers without additional dispensing requirements
- Main downside is cost/complexity, and slightly slower Filling (ie instead of going from 0% Filled to 100% filled with a tap, or putting a Garden Hose in the top of an IBC Tote etc, one would have to fill all bricks one by one
- While they may have more potential failure points per unit of volume stored ( Square Cube Law and all that), in the event of tank failure/leak formation, the lost volume could be confined to one brick and thus only a small fraction of the whole
- An Inventory+Routine Inspection Log is probably in order though for Ideal Use
