What benefits do painted Faber steel tanks have over hot dipped galvanized ones?
I once heard that HDG tanks rarely fail hydro because of the pre-stretching procedure. It seems that painted tanks could be safer since a flaw wouldn't be masked by that procedure. In other words, painted tanks could fail hydro when they should vs. HDG tanks which pass hydro when they shouldn't.
Sometimes I wonder if HDG is offered because that's what the market wants, but manufacturers think painted is better.
I wish I could call Faber to ask, but they don't seem to be easily reachable.
