240 Gallon Full Drain Cone Bottom Inductor Tank (No Stand)

I purchased two of these tanks over two years ago and they have worked well to supply treated water to a hydronic system. The problem I experienced is the material used for the "cable tie" that keeps the cover from falling when removed. It looks like it is made from some form of synthetic rubber - but recently, when I removed the cover to top-off the tank, the tie broke allowing the piece attached to the tank, to drop into the tank, sink to the bottom and into the attached piping. Fortunately, I have a strainer filter before the pump to catch any foreign material. Other than that, the tank and stand has worked perfectly for our particular application. I removed the remaining cable tie and now use the cover without it. I checked the cable tie and it easily breaks apart, so be careful with this - I recommend removing the cover cable tie during initial setup of your system and not use it at all. Just be careful where you set the cover once removed.

These are nice tanks. I bought two for my aquaponic system and like them a lot. The material is thick and they are very well made. The description says they will not hold more than two-pounds of pressure, which is fine if you use them for their intended design, which is to dispense dry goods or liquids not under pressure. Five stars.But, being a hacker, I wanted to use these tanks as bio-filters for my aquaponic system. My water pump sends water to the bio-filter, the water passes through the bio-medium, and out the outflow pipe. Some pressure is involved, but not much. (I drilled holes in the tanks, inserted UniSeals in the holes, then pushed pipes through the Uni-Seals to make the in-flow and out-flow water lines. I put valves on the bottom drains to drain out solid waste that accumulates on the bottom of these tanks.) Then to make the lids more-pressure-tight, I removed the lids, then unscrewed the screws that hold the lid retainer ring to the tank. I removed the ring and put a bead of silicone caulk on the retainer ring, set it back in place, and screwed it back to the tank. Next, when my wife wasn't looking, I snatched two Silpat baking mats from the kitchen and made two gaskets, one for each tank. I put these gaskets on the lids and screwed the lids back into place. I lightly tapped the lids with a hammer to further tighten them. I turned on the pump, stood by watching for leaks but none appeared. My mod is working very well. I don't know exactly how much pressure is in the tanks, but it is certainly more than two pounds. All is well; a life without leaks is a good thing.(A good story, but it was my wife's idea to use the Silpat baking mats. I don't know what I would do without her.)

Matched description.

The tank I received looks as though it had either been stored outside or had been used returned and resold to me. The tank had algae inside the top ring where the cover goes on and also had slime in the bottom of the tank. The plug fitting at the bottom also had a cheap hose clamp attached. Not pleased with the purchase and won't buy from again.

Bought to separate oil from water figured the clear white plastic would show the water line . Nope.Quality is very strong . Well made

Got a ten gallon batch brewing in it right now. I got a 1.5inch sanitary adapter for the bottom and cleaned it really well, put a batch of beer in, and it smells great after a week. Would buy another with no hesitation.

fittings all as described 2" npt full drain! I am now fermenting a 75 gallon batch of apple cider in this cheep option to get my winery off of its feet. I have had no sanitation issues as of yet.

Very good quality,timely shipment
