Default Maybe not a problem

I ran into a problem today.

Sometimes problems are really not problems, but a diamond in the ruff. The old tank could be cleaned and lined with insulation. A liner (vinyl or rubber)could be used inside the insulation. I had read were either a septic tank or a vault for underground electrical transformer had been utilized for a hot water storage tank only he had insulated the exterior and buried it. He had a large collector that was space heating and heating his hot tub. There are professionals that remove the contents of septic systems with a vacuum tank truck. From time to time we need to clean out our septic tank and its not really that expensive. With a pressure washer and some cleaning products while the large vacuum is on I think would do a good job. The great thing is you have a free large in-ground storage tank already buried it has a two holes cut for access for the heat-exchangers and a nice sturdy lid.
