1. Can these tanks store both water and chemicals? What makes a tank "heavy duty" compared to standard poly tanks

Heavy duty storage tanks are built with thicker walls and reinforced HDPE material, making them stronger and more durable for storing harsh chemicals and large volumes of water.

2. Can these tanks store both water and chemicals?

Yes. Our tanks are engineered for dual-purpose use and can safely hold potable water as well as many fertilizers, acids, and industrial chemicals. Always confirm chemical compatibility before use.

3. How long do heavy duty poly storage tanks last?

With proper use, heavy duty polyethylene tanks can last 15–20 years or more, especially since they resist corrosion, rust, and UV damage.

4. Are these tanks safe for outdoor use?

Yes. Our tanks are UV stabilized to withstand direct sunlight and outdoor conditions without cracking or degrading.

5. What sizes of heavy duty tanks are available?

We offer tanks from 500 gallons up to 3,000+ gallons, including vertical, horizontal, and cone bottom designs to suit different applications.

6. Why choose poly tanks instead of steel or fiberglass?

Polyethylene tanks are lighter, corrosion-proof, more affordable, and easier to install compared to steel or fiberglass tanks, while still offering exceptional strength.

7. Do these tanks come with fittings and accessories?

Yes. Tanks can be customized with bulkhead fittings, valves, pumps, and lids, allowing easy integration into your water or chemical system.

8. What industries use heavy duty water and chemical storage tanks?
