Todd, Sounds like a good solution.
Am I correct in assuming that the tank provider will installing installation? If might be worthwhile to consider increased insulation to boost your R-factor. I've had recent success using a bayonet style heater.

The decision has been made to protect it with sprinklers alone and not foam. The total water demand for ceiling, in-rack and hose is around 3300 gpm. The public supply alone cannot provide this volume. The proposal has been made to feed the ceiling sprinklers from a pump and tank and the in-racks and hose from the public. Hydraulically that can work. Is there any restriction or problem with this type of arrangement? The only cross connection between the tank and the public would be in the fill line. To me, this would be a more reliable system that feeding the entire system from a single pump and tank. This is the first of what could be 3 or 4 buildings protected similarly. While we are at it. This tank will be in the 200,000 gallon range. In light of ever-increasing fuel prices, any good suggestions on decreasing heating costs? Todd G.
