Polypropylene, PE Tank, Poly Water Tanks & Polyethylene Tanks — Built for the Harshest Chemicals
German‑engineered, American‑made tanks up to 50,000 gallons. Specced right the first time by James Riggins — no bulging, mixer‑ready, built to DVS 2205.
James Recommends
Houston PolyTank designs and manufactures PE tanks, poly water tanks, and polypropylene tanks that outperform FRP, steel, and rotomolded designs. With wall thickness up to 6 inches, no bulging, pH 0–14 chemical compatibility, and patented containerized shipping, our tanks deliver perfect performance and up to 80% freight savings.
- Listen — James notes your chemical, temperature, flow, footprint, pressure, and constraints.
- Spec — he selects the correct Houston PolyTank plus the right fittings, vents, nozzles, mixer mounts, and accessories.
- Stand Behind It — then he does it again for every other water or chemical need you have and stays reachable with context.
Rectangular Tanks — Houston vs. Average
See why the patented rectangular polyethylene tank from Houston PolyTank outperforms FRP, carbon steel, and thin roto‑mold designs on bulging resistance, shipping efficiency, temperature range, and service life.
- Patented Design
- Meets DVS 2205
- Up to 80% Freight Savings
Houston PolyTank
Patented Rectangular Plastic Water Tank
- 1" sides, 1.5" ends (up to 6" where needed)
- No bulging / “elephant feet” — extrusion‑wound rigid walls
- Self‑supporting; direct mixer mount on shell (no $20k+ frame)
- HDLPE (to 120°F) or PP (to 200°F water), pH 0–14
- Containerized builds → up to 80% freight savings
- Meets German DVS 2205; 24‑hr hydro test; field‑repairable
Average Market Tank
FRP / Steel / Thin Roto Poly
- Typically 3/8"–1" walls; uniform sides/ends
- Needs steel framing to limit bowing and “elephant feet”
- Steel: repaint cycles; FRP: gelcoat/fiber repairs; thin poly: hard to repair
- Resin/lining‑limited chemical & temp range
- Oversize shipments — not container‑friendly

Cylindrical Tanks — Houston vs. Average
Compare extrusion‑wound cylindrical polyethylene & polypropylene tanks to thin roto‑mold and FRP/steel builds. Houston’s rigid walls mean no bulging, higher mixer loads, and longer service.
- DVS 2205
- Up to 50,000 gal
- Field‑repairable
Houston PolyTank
Extrusion‑Wound Cylindrical Tank
- ½"–3.5" typical wall (up to 5" in pipe‑builds) tuned for SG
- No bulging at the bottom knuckle; stable floor
- Mixer loads on the shell — no external superstructure
- HDLPE to 120°F; PP to 180–200°F (water); pH 0–14
- 50–50,000 gal; tops: flat/cone/recessed; bottoms: flat/slope/cone
- 24‑hr hydro test; certified thermoplastic welders
Average Market Tank
Roto / FRP / Carbon Steel
- 3/8"–1" walls typical; thinner at top panels
- Bottom knuckle prone to bulging/“elephant feet”
- Requires frames/legs for mixer loads
- Temp/chem limits; steel needs repaint & linings; FRP resin‑dependent
- Repairs are complex; thin roto often replaced entirely

Talk to the guy who’s been speccing tanks for 30+ years
“I’ll tell you exactly what tank will work for your chemical, your site, and your budget—so it runs for decades without headaches.”
- Perfect‑fit guarantee: we spec the correct material, thickness, venting, and mixer loads—no surprises.
- Only U.S. maker of large extrusion‑wound HDLPE & PP tanks (up to 50,000 gal) — serious engineering.
- DVS 2205 mindset: documented QA, 24‑hr hydro test standard, field‑repairable plastics.
- Save total cost: no repainting, no elephant feet, containerized options slash freight.
Not sure where to start? James will ask 6 things—chemical, SG, temperature, volume/shape, mixing duty, and vent path—and point you to the right tank. No pressure, no guesswork.
