Well, they do the same exact thing. And you can buy the food container tank for $200 new. I Got mine used and have abused the heck outa it for the past 4-5 years. With not a single issue. You can build it relatively cheep, but it's still not free. Parts run well over $100 alone. Unless your really dedicated to saving a couple dollars, just either buy new or used.

The only thing I don't like is that there are 6 drilled holes in the top portion to allow over flow water to escape. Into your kayak and out the scuppers. I think I'd prefer a drain tube I can bail into the water opposite the pump hose. I just think it would be a bit more quiet.
