Saw this product the other day. It describes itself as ‘modular water storage’. Well, anything is modular with enough connection points. This product moves a few paces beyond the usual blue water barrels in that its got a very small footprint and is manufactured to be daisy-chained together. I like the small footprint, color and possible use as thermal mass. Whats turning me off in a major way is the price – several hundred dollars each. Ouch.

I suppose with a hole saw, the proper plumbing connectors, enough torque and a good dose of pipe dope you could daisy-chain the classic blue barrels to perform a similar function but the whole attraction of this product is its shape and the versatility that shape provides. Might have to hunt around and see if theres a better pricing schedule somewhere.
