<p class="MsoNormal">I will temper my comments with the caveat that we have not ordered from them in some time (years) due to the issues we found. Maybe things have changed. There were three main issues that we encountered at the time – inferior clasps that
kept coming loose from the tank over time, buckling in the sidewalls of the large 36” tanks and issues with dolly wheels and decks failing, rusting and not rolling well. It was not every tank but we had issues with enough to make us consider a switch to Delta.
We have had no similar issues with their tanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
