2017 Turbo Turbomist Tanks Contruction

All tanks are made from Swedish high quality new 304 stainless steel purchased in rolls and decoiled on site.All openings in our tanks are manually pulled to ensure we have no butt welds on our tanks.

• All tanks 500 galllons and larger have 12 gauge ends.

• All tanks 400 gallons an less have 14 gauge ends.

• All tanks unless ordered differently, have 14 gauge wraps.

• All 500, 600 and 1200 gallon tanks have stainless steel baffels. For fire trucks we use baffle balls rather than baffles,they are extremely effective.

• All ends are rolled,again to ensure no butt welds occur.

• Butt welds are the weakest spot on a tank and vibration is deadly on such a weld, because we do not have any butt welds, we can and do warranty our tanks to hold water for 10 years. This is a prorated warranty, with full replacement for the first 5 years, then 50% down to 10% parts replacement in the last five years.

• All tanks are dye tested, we spray a red gunk into the tank and if any pinpoint weld leak, the dye seeps thru and shows up on a special white foam sprayed on the outside of the tank for the test. Then after the tank is installed on a sprayer, we have a water test as well in our quality control test.

• Most tanks (round) are polished. Our tanks are hand welded at the factory by qualified stainless steel welders.

• Only stainless steel or PVC parts are connected to the plumbing on our tanks to avoid damaging the stainless.
