pete what did you use to get it so the floor was dry. pumps would take it down to about 1/4" but did you suck the rest up with a wet dry vac? and I guess you would have to pull out the EPDM so it would dry underneath.

Once he gets it emptied the leak my be more visable. I know when mine leaked it was pretty easy to see where the leak was in the liquid rubber. The water pressure had just puched the liquid rubber into a seam and created a hole. I didnt have the LR thick enough in that particular area.
this is sweet i hope you find the leak and get it back on the road cant wait to see it finished with fish in it
Yesterday was Father's day, so I spent it with my gf and my daughter. Haven't had time to do anything with the tank.
Omg I have read this whole thing and I'm sitting here drooling over your tank. I can't wait to see it finished.
hey I havent finished reading the whole post I believe I am on 53. What did you decide to do for heating. If you havent yet a 100' coil of pex plugged in to your main water heater and then tied into the furthest bathroom (or any other line) and an inline check valve then recirculating pump on a thermostat in would sufficently heat the tank pm me if you have not got one already and i can draw it up.
Awsome build by the way

That's exactly what I'm doing. Thanks for confirming that I'm on the right track with it. I'd like to see your design. It might reveal something that I haven't thought of yet.
Forgive the drawing paint is no AutoCAD. If you any questions just ask it really is simple and easy to install unless you have to access the attic.
My system is a lot simpler.
I'll be using a hot water recirculating system and a normally closed solenoid valve.
The hot water recirculating system connects to the washing machine hot/cold supply lines; this serves as an added benefit to get hot water to the washer fast. It allows the spent hot water to be sent back to the hot water heater via the cold water supply line.
The normally closed solenoid valve is connected to the thermostat in the tank. The solenoid valve acts as a faucet demanding hot water when the thermostat opens it. This allows the hot water to flow through the CPVC plumbing then through the PEX coil. The PEX coil is in the settling tank part of the filter, so there's a constant flow of water over the hot PEX before it enters the filter and returns to the tank.
I gave up on the tankless hot water heater idea due to costs involved.
The hot water recirculating system has everything I need, including pump, to move the water through the PEX and back to the cold line.

I like that you know what you want. Your design will definantly work but be careful because it will also turn your cold water lines into temporary hot lines depending on you heater location. (you don't want a burn you lips getting a drink out of the faucet!!!Ouch)
