FAQ
Does the color of the tank have any significance?
Generally, colors are used to designate one grade of tank from another and is for production identification only except for Water Only tanks. Our standard color for premium weight tanks is a natural or white and for heavy duty tanks it is light blue. Do not be misled into thinking that a color increases the life expectancy or UV resistance of a tank.
Are water tanks NSF 61 rated?
Yes, all of our water tanks are NSF 61 rated. NSF International, founded in 1944 as the National Sanitation Foundation, is known for the development of standards, product testing and certification services in the areas of public health, safety and protection of the environment. Norwesco was the first polyethylene tank producer to receive the NSF61 certification, where applicable, for our potable water tanks.
The NSF61 certification process is done on a plant by plant basis. We currently have tanks that are NSF61 certified in five of our manufacturing facilities: Fairfield TX, Hanford CA, Tooele UT, Washougal WA & Lancaster OH. Click on the following link for information regarding the NSF61 status certification for the five facilities listed above. NSF certification
What is the warranty time on the tanks?
The premium weight tanks and black or dark green vertical water storage tanks carry a three year warranty from date of manufacture and the heavy duty tanks carry a five year warranty from date of manufacture. Should a defect appear within the warranty period, Norwesco will supply a new, equivalent tank in replacement thereof. Norwesco’s liability is limited to the value of the tank itself and specifically excludes the cost of installation and/or removal or consequential damages.
Are the trailers DOT approved?
Yes, every trailer that we manufacture comes out of our facility with the Department of Transportation approval.
