The Chlorine Institute, Inc., Phamplet 96 titled SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE MANUAL, Edition 2, May 2000, Section 6.2, Storage Containers, Subsection 6.2.2.4, Materials of Construction, paragraph c), reads:
"Sodium hypochlorite users and manufacturers have had success with high density linear polyethylene tanks, however, high density cross-linked polyethylene should not be used. Vertical stress cracking has been experienced with the cross-linked polyethylene storage tanks in this service."
This has, and continues to be KEFCO's, and KEFCO's customers' experiences. Don't believe all the cross-linky stuff! KEFCO offers a better warranty along with better pricing for this service. Order Phamplet 96 at www.cl2.com and see for yourself!
