That is a pretty cool technique.
1. I wonder how they built the metal frame, or whether it is available to buy where they live?
2. I wonder if the wire ends up encased in the concrete? I would have thought they'd have had to add concrete to the inside after removing the hose.

Considering how difficult/expensive it is to get large water tanks on my island, a simple system to build a safe and reliable one would be really useful.

Are there different types of concrete that are safer for water storage?
 
I agree. Here's the link: http://stoves2.com
