Platino 10 gal Water Cooler for a tun?

[Hophunter]

Has anyone bought or used the Plantino 10 gal water cooler from agrisupply?

Seems pretty cheap and didn't know if it would be one of those "you get what you pay for" deals.

Thanks.

Nope, I saw this too. The spigot looks strange, which could prove difficult to mod.

Look inside at the valve, make sure you can remove it. If so, you can put a fitting in it for a valve and manifold/screen for a MLT.

The big catch is can it survive the heat for 60 mins without warping? Thats the big question.

I chose not to skimp on mine, I have a BIG cube, a 5 gal and a 3 gal. All Igloo. Never had a problem.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Yeah, I ended up going with a Home Dopey one for $40. In the end it was probably the same price.

I bought one of those for $20 at TSC last year. The spigot looks like it would leave an odd shaped hole when removed, but It leaves a nice small round hole. The inside is not tapered like the outside either. It would work just like any other cooler. The insulation seems decent. Held my strike water at temp for over an hour. I am going to use it as mash tun i believe.

Just saw 10G Igloo Round COoolers this weekend at Lowes for 47.99
