Other than skinning a trashed water heater, most of which are leaking
anyways, are there purpose made tanks for this use? I've been looking for
something along these lines to get "room temp" water for a photographic
darkroom where there's extended draw of water.

We have something like 150 ft of 1 inch black plastic water pipe in a
coil (maybe 3 ft in diameter), hanging on the wall downstairs before the
toilet supply. Does wonders in the summer time when they would sweat
otherwise. Used to have a galvanized water pressure tank for same years
ago but due to hard water it developed a lot of sediment. So far the
coiled up pipe seems to be working okay, maybe 20 years now.

Putting that coil outside in the sun would be even better, in the summer.
Solar on the cheap....
Or in a black box, covered by glass..... really good solar, on the
cheap....

Toward the purpose-made tank Q: An old compressor tank, 30-50 gals? Or
smaller ones in series?
Even propane? Altho the fittings on propane are an experience to remove....
May want to paint the interior first.
