HDPE Water Tank
 

I'm looking for a custom fabricator of HDPE Poly for a water tank.
Anyone have any recommendations? Preferably in the NE, but nationwide
is ok. Thanks.

go to www.roncoplastics.com .... you might find a 'stock' tank that may
fit from there literally hundreds tanks in inventory.

Also consider a HDPE lined GRP tank from a specialty fabricator. There
has been quite a lot of advances in prebonding HDPE to fiberglass
sheeting, the fabricator then plastic welds the joints and spark tests
them for accuracy, then reinforces the backing joint surfaces with
additional GRP -- this method of HDPE construction is starting to show
up in the high pure chem. industry with 'reasonable' results.

If you really don't need a custom tank, this fellow can also probably
sell you a stock tank from Ronco for a better price than going direct.

That would be highly unlikely, since Ronco's price is about half what
any of their dealers have to charge. Otoh, it never hurts to ask.

Ronco sells for 60% of catalog price direct. I've bought 4 tanks from
them over the past 6 years. They don't have dealers. Any one can set
up shop and call themselves a yacht accessory operation and resell
their tanks.

I've heard that he's been able to do this in the past. How would Ronco have any
dealers at all, if the public could buy cheaper than the dealer. That doesn't
make much sense.

No it wouldn't, nor is it what I said. A dealer has to sell for more
than he pays to make any money. If a mfr sells to the public for less
than a dealer has to charge his customers in order to make anything,
it's cheaper to go direct.
