Faber Hot dipped galvanized durability

[scubasharks]

Hot dip galvanized is the gold standard here. Actual gold would be more inert but not by much! I never rinse my tanks or weights either, never had any particular problem. They’ll be at least as durable as your old Al80s. “Cold galvanizing” paint is not a substitute for real hot dip but better than nothing, if they’re scratched a bit it’s a good idea.

Thanks! This is what I was looking for, I knew there had to be others out there that dont rinse Glad to hear you havent had any problems

Um... aluminum doesn't rust...

HDG tanks are simply awesome... not "pretty", but who cares.

I think they are pretty

It corrodes, rust is a specialized term used to denote corrosion of iron.

It doesn’t rust… it oxidises

Rust is oxidation, and I was taught, by very knowledgeable people, that rust never sleeps.

That's true, it's just resting its eyes.

Hot dipped galvanized tanks are horrible!!!
They absolutely suck!!!!!!!
The hot dipped HP120 3442 E7’s are especially bad and total garbage.
If anybody has those that they want to dump I will take them and make sure they get disposed of correctly.

If taking them to Cali is too far, I can help you out here in the east ...
Just trying to do my part.
Eta: I can also take care of E7-100s or E8-130s for you if required.

And I can take care of disposal in the mid-west!
