CORRUGATED GALVANIZED STEEL TANK 
TEN YEAR WARRANTY

All corrugated steel water storage tanks are designed to provide many years of service when properly installed and maintained.  Please review and follow the installation and maintenance guidelines prior to filling tank with water.

Installation  

1.        Tank should be located on firm, compacted native soil.
2.        Tank should be carefully set on a level foundation of 3/4" crushed rock, 4-6" deep with            a minimum 1 foot radius from tank wall.  When seismic design considerations require
            anchoring to a concrete wall or slab, a layer of 1/2" asphalt impregnated fiberboard,            between tank bottom and cement, is necessary.
3.        Use dialectic couplings on all metal piping connections to tank to prevent possible            electrolysis.
4.        When attaching electric controls or wires to your tank--care should be taken to            prevent cables and control mounting brackets from contacting tank.  Use insulated            brackets and other nonconductive materials.  Do not use metal anode probes for level            control.

Maintenance

1.        Water should be changed with fresh water about every three to six months.  It is            preferable that water be circulated as often as possible.  Use water for irrigation,            cleaning or other uses, then replenish tank supply with fresh water.
2.        If your tank is equipped with an automatic fill shut-off float valve, periodically check            the adjustment of the float arm attached to the float ball to prevent over flow.
3.        If the water supply contains "hard" or corrosive minerals, tank interior may require            periodic cleaning and recoating. Inspect tank interior and exterior coatings            annually, clean and re-coat if needed.  Consult with your local factory representative            for additional recommendations if necessary.  Under normal water conditions, tank            coatings should last the life of the thank (typically 25 years).

To Clean Tank- Wash walls with water and use soft bristle brush to remove rust
and mineral deposits. Rinse with water and dry. Leave the top of the tank off.
To Recoat Tank- Once tank is cleaned and dried, recoat using a large brush.
If it`s a warm day it could take as little as 48 hours to dry. Leave the top of the tank off.

Warranty Statement

• Manufacturer shall warrant its corrugated galvanized steel water storage tanks against defects in workmanship or materials that cause either leakage for a period of ten (10) years from the original date of installation when properly installed and maintained for use with potable water.  The warranties on equipment or accessories furnished with the tank are limited to the respective manufacturer`s warranties for their products.

• All obligations and liabilities under this warranty are limited to repairing or replacing--at manufacturer`s option--the tank at its original installation site.  Repairs or replacements are made subject to field inspection by a factory representative and customer compliance with installation and maintenance guidelines.  Replacement products may be subject to normal freight, handling and installation charges.

• Requests for service under this warranty shall be made by contacting the manufacturer in writing as soon as possible after the discovery of any alleged defect.

• Installation of temporary storage facilities if needed, during the course of repairs or replacement, is not included and shall be the responsibility of the user.

• An extended warranty is available, on a pro ratio basis, for all replacement tanks.  The formula is as follows: A credit of 10% per year remaining on the original tank warranty shall be discounted from the current list price.  The user may use this credit toward the purchase of any like or larger tank.

• This warranty does not apply to any tank that has been subjected to negligence, alteration, vandalism, civil disturbances, or acts of God.  Manufacturer does not authorize other persons to extend any warranty with respect to its products, nor assume any liability for unauthorized warranties.

• This warranty supersedes any warranty not dated or bearing an earlier date.

• Expressly excluded from this warranty are defects caused by electrolytic or bacterial conditions, misuse, abuse, or improper installation, application, employment, or operation of the tank. Damage caused by unauthorized repair is not covered by this warranty.

• No liability for consequential damages will be accepted.  Manufacturer will not assume responsibility for contingent liability for alleged failure of its products.

Corrugated Steel Tanks will provide years of flawless service.  Our corrugated galvanized storage tanks offer tremendous advantages over the options for water storage.

The options available to store water in large capacities are limited.  They are either welded or bolted steel tanks.  Welded tanks are typically "butt" welded that rely on a single weld bead for structural integrity.  Certifying the structural quality and penetration of the weld is not economically feasible for this type of tank construction.  Bolted steel tanks rely on rubber gasket joints that may require periodic servicing for leakage.

Installation
Corrugated field erected tanks are assembled without the need for heavy equipment or potentially dangerous welding construction.  Corrugated tank components can be trucked in; hand carried or even dropped in by helicopter.  Expert experienced craftsmen who insure the highest possible construction integrity fabricate the tanks.

Construction
Corrugated steel has nine (9) times the tensile strength of flat steel and is superior in resistance to compressive loads.  Corrugated steel is especially resistant to the buckling and "mushrooming" that can affect flat metal tanks during an earthquake.  Corrugated tank seams are overlapped and hand-riveted with solid steel urethane polymer coated rivets forming a double thickness of steel that further enhances the lateral and vertical strength of the tank.  

Service
Corrugated galvanized steel tanks have been manufactured in California for over 100 years.  With minimal periodic maintenance, corrugated water tanks can provide decades of trouble free water storage.

Safety
Most of American Tank Company`s Corrugated Tanks meet Seismic Zone 4 requirements and conform to Unified Building Code (UBC) criteria.  Set on a wide contained gravel foundation, the width of the tank provides resistance to overturning without the need for expensive seismic anchors.  If anchoring is required or requested, American Tank Company will provide a foundation design and submittal drawings with a California Civil Engineers wet stamp for building permits upon receipt of purchase order.

Warranty
There is an unprecedented 10 year manufacturer`s warranty against defects in material or workmanship that cause either leakage or corrosion.
