Can I use this tank laying down? I'm worried it might be too tall and hit the bottom of my sink.

I wouldn't think it would fit in an under-sink application. This tank (estimate) is 2ft tall. I am a licensed plumber. I ran a 1/2" pex line remotely to a basement.

I don't know. You are probably better off getting 2 or 3 smaller ones and connecting with tees. The 10 gal satsified our volume needs, but does not have the pressure of the smaller ones for some reason.

I have only used it on the side temporarily(when I first installed it). I use it upright 100% of the time.

I think it would be fine. Internal bladder should work in any position. Might be better though to run extra tubing to remote location such a basement or crawlspace.

I can't see why it would not work. Just be careful it does not roll around.

I'm really not sure. I can tell you that the one I bought wouldn't fit sideways or upright under my sink. I have mine in the basement.

I suppose you can as the bottom is flat. However, it is pretty lightweight so you might want to lean it up against something until you start filling it (to help weigh it down).

It is designed for a vessel sink because of the height. You could probably use it with an undercount sink but it may splash to much.

In addition to what the others have stated I would add that the space between your sink and the bottom of the drainer would not allow air to flow and is also uncomfortably close to sink's surface. Maybe not the most sanitary option.

I use it hanging from the side of the tank. You can monitor it better. I was afraid if it was under gravel or any rocks it might melt or make the rocks or gravel hot.

Of note is that the bottom may not be designed to hold the weight of a fully loaded tank since it is made of plastic corrugated board and held in place with lots of small screws. I wouldn't recommend it without at least first putting down a board to distribute the weight of something so heavy. I've placed a bunch of heavy tool bags inside, but I was always careful to distribute the weight.

You could probably get up to like a 29 gallon sump under it. The top platform is like 18x48. Minus a couple inches you could say the inside of the bottom wood panel has about 15x44 inches of space conservatively. I haven't measured but this is an educated guess. The thing is you will have to assemble the unit by sitting the tank on the bottom platform after putting together the bottom and the sides of the unit, and then assembling the top. A 20 gal long tank would fit under it comfortably. The 29 would leave like a foot of space between the top panels and the top of the tank. I think the stand is about 30 to 33 inches high.

with the bottom being cushioned with air also, I would think so.I would use a heating pad wrapped in a towel and tuck it underneath.

Yes. I did get a cardboard skirt around the bottom but that didn't do much to protect it. From reading comments from other folks who have bought this from different outlets (lowes, tractor supply) it always comes just as a tank, no packing.

I'm not what you need to know, but unless you have a very narrow sink ,I would have to say no. It would from the side of a stock pot if is the right size. I hope that helps you. Mary Lou Lion

Yes you can. I have this sink and absolutely love it. Plus I much prefer the look on the over mount that undercount. I think u will be very pleased with it. If you give me your email I can send you a pic of mine and even video. I am out of town so I could get it to you either the end of this week or beginning of next. Lmk. �

I would advise against it. It gets pretty hot and could warm your water more than you want it to. Also if you have any tall plants in your tank it could burn them. I'd suggest using the legs or at least hanging it just to let some of the heat escape. A glass cover doesn't hurt as well.

There are only practical considerations that would limit its location. For example, you'd just need more tubing, etc. I guess you could have it just about anywhere. It's just more simple to put it under the sink.

If the area u are going to set it up on a sloped bottom there are different feet on the bottom that u must use although they are not a lot thicker than the stock feet. So I would say no

It's up to you but it looks better on the bottom of the tank just don't cover it with the gravel hope this helps :)

No, it is not high enough. I did see one that looks the same that is for that type of sink on Amazon when I was looking though.

I would think it's not advisable to lay it down. I would call the factory, & they may tell you it's OK. never know until you ask!
