In years past I have purchased some wall mounted 5 gal. bucket holders with a hydrominder mount on them. At one point I got some made of stainless that also had a spot to mount a flo jet pump. I'm having trouble finding a source for them now. Anyone know of a place to purchase these?

Used to be available from Blue Coral but I am not sure if they still have them.

Thought it was a great idea until I put a couple in Service. Very diffcult to clean scum / residue build up since removeing them from the wall is an issue. (Got rid of them. May have them in a back room somewhere. ) Buckets are much easier.

If you go to this page

https://www.sonnysdirect.com/mainse...pid=Sonnys_Java_Shop&wec-locale=en_US&cm=5826

And see the pre plumbed and pre wired section, years ago they had pre made wall mount single, double and triple units without plumbing and wiring. Bought lots of the triples . Can fit a lot in a small space. Don't know that they have any pre made. anymore.

Here is a video showing one of the triples.

This room now has all triples . Due to adding stuff and space constraints the others were all replaced.

Earl,
I have some of those units shown in your video. I need some more and can't find anyone making them anymore.

Even though Sonny's catalog no longer shows the triples, I think when I called them a couple of years ago they found some. I am sure for a price they could make more. (They sill show a single wall mount unit in their catalog #75 page 146. # G had some similar ones but I grabbed the last few.

I don't know if anyone makes them anymore. I have two of the SS bucket holders with hydrominder mounts that I could send you if you are interested. They have been laying around for awhile.

I tried the molded tanks from Sonny's and like them except for the issue that Earl mentioned, there is no easy way to clean out the
tank.

What's wrong with using a stainless steel tank? They last forever. 25 years ago I took a stainless AOK tank and welded 2 walls in it, 2 outlet on the bottom and made it into 3 compartment tank. AOK said it wouldn't work that I'd run out of product. The next ICA Convention AOK had done the modification that I did.

Sonnys sells this 3 gallon Tank
https://www.sonnysdirect.com/mainse...QPARAM:simpleSearchString=10005688&minPrice=0

They also sell a 6 gallon wall mount unit

For about $40.00 they sell wall mounts for 6 Gallon and 18 Gallon but do not show it for the 3 Gallon. Also there wall mounts are $200 to $250.00

I bet you could order as many buckets as you want and construct the arms to hold the tanks from aluminum struts which would stick out from the wall under the lip of the tank and attach to a strut mounted on the wall with angle hardware all available from Mc Master Carr. A strut mounted higher up could support the Hydrominder and I have attached flo jets to a strut using "Strutcatcher nuts and Bolts."

The higher struts could also hold your air regulators. I modified some 3 G stands that way.
