Food grade coatings , epoxy and other, for this purpose as well as cisterns are sourced in Mexico. Contact your local paint or hardware store.

you need to coat cement with a cement with hardner in it
then it will still crack and leak...thats the problem with block
a correct tank would be poured ,,,no block
a rotoplas tank is finished in one day
dig a hole...with a backhoe...drop it in....lay the leech line...

re cracks,... out of sight, out of mind; dont worry, you will still be happy. as long as you cant smell it, and it doesn't back up into the house,
then your chit is golden
concrete block must be cheaper than buying/delivering/placing a pre-fab HDPE septic tank, eh?
Woke!

Boy, lots of info for this clueless woman. What I can say is that we had the option of choosing a cheaper block but went with the better quality
ones.
MSteve is right, we are so happy with what we have now. When there is a problem, it is fixed asap and our water is really better than the desal was,
and less expensive too.

water... |
Lencho, you do realize that most of Baja is desert, and the infrastructure is not quite the same as in developed countries, right? Have you even even
been to Baja?
For what it is worth, the entire population of Southern California is dependent on two large concrete aqueducts, sort of the same idea on a larger
scale.
