then just use and ice cream bucket scoop water from the top of the tank and then fill your waterers from the small bucket

And if you set a plank across the tub, it will be a little table to set the waterer on while you fill it. Spills go back in the tank.

Wishing, If I put that tank on top of my heavy duty picnic table that isnt be used for anything It will raise hose level up fairly high and that tank comes with a float valve so water wont overfill. So fill the tank, unplug from the house and hopefully it should drain.

I think I can instal a spicket in the bottom of that no hose needed . fill the bucket from the spicket

cover the top to keep the kakooies out

If you are going to get a 100 gallon tank, and keep it heated, you will only need to fill it twice a month, at most. Might just be able to roll the hose and put it away instead of leaving it out all winter.

That would be easy

cover the top to keep the kakooies out

Would also keep the heat in better.
