Industrial Water Chillers — Made in the USA Since 1948

Galvanized Water Tanks

Post-weld galvanized hydropneumatic tanks from 12 to 900 gallons — NSF/ANSI 61 & 372 certified. Manufactured by Quick Tanks, supplied by Rite-Temp.

Industrial Water Storage Done Right

Rite-Temp partners with Quick Tanks to offer galvanized hydropneumatic tanks for industrial cooling and water storage applications. Available from 12 to 900 gallons, these tanks are built to complement Rite-Temp chiller systems — providing the buffer volume that keeps your process temperatures stable and prevents compressor short-cycling.

What sets Quick Tanks apart is their galvanization process: every tank is fully galvanized after welding, not before. That means the weld seams — the most corrosion-vulnerable areas on any welded tank — receive the same complete protection as the rest of the tank surface. The result is uniform, long-term corrosion resistance in demanding industrial environments.

  • Post-Weld Galvanization — Full protection on every surface, including all welded seams.
  • NSF/ANSI 61 & 372 Certified — Safe for potable water and food-grade fluid contact.
  • 12–900 Gallon Range — Small buffer tanks to large-scale storage, all in one product family.
  • 40-Gal Cabinet Option — Insulated, enclosed, in galvanized or white powder coat finish.
  • Chiller Compatible — Sized and specified to work with Rite-Temp water-cooled chiller systems.

Why It Matters

Post-Weld Galvanization: The Difference You Can't See

Galvanizing steel before welding is common — and it leaves the weld seams unprotected. The heat of welding burns away the zinc coating in and around every seam, creating bare steel that will corrode from the inside out.

Quick Tanks galvanizes after all welding is complete. The entire finished tank — seams, corners, every surface — is coated in a single pass. No gaps. No unprotected spots.

Standard Pre-Weld Galvanizing

Steel is coated first, then welded. Heat destroys zinc at every seam — leaving exposed steel that corrodes prematurely.

Quick Tanks Post-Weld Galvanizing

Tank is fully welded first, then galvanized completely. Every surface — including seams — gets uniform, unbroken protection.

40-Gallon Cabinet Tank

Our most popular tank configuration — the 40-gallon Quick Tank mounted insulated inside a robust sheet metal cabinet. This assembly provides thermal efficiency, physical protection, and a clean installation appearance suitable for indoor industrial environments.

Pairs directly with Rite-Temp water-cooled chillers to provide buffer volume that reduces compressor short-cycling and helps maintain consistent supply water temperatures during load fluctuations.

  • Available in galvanized sheet metal or white powder coat cabinet finish
  • Insulated to minimize heat gain and reduce chiller workload
  • Designed for indoor installation alongside Rite-Temp chiller units
  • NSF/ANSI 61 & 372 certified — suitable for potable water contact

Common Tank Applications

❄️

Chiller Buffer Volume

Added water volume prevents compressor short-cycling and stabilizes supply water temperature during load changes in process cooling systems.

🏭

Plastics & Injection Molding

Provides consistent chilled water volume for high-demand molding operations where chiller capacity alone may not prevent temperature swings during peak production.

🍺

Brewery & Food Processing

NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 certified tanks are safe for direct contact with potable water and food-grade fluids — suitable for glycol loops and brewing process water.

💻

Electronics & CNC Cooling

Buffer tanks support precision cooling for CNC machining centers, electronics assembly, and other processes requiring tight temperature tolerances.

🏗️

Large-Scale Industrial

Tanks up to 900 gallons serve as primary storage or large-volume buffer in manufacturing plants, commercial facilities, and multi-chiller cooling systems.

💧

Potable Water Storage

NSF certification allows these tanks to serve double duty in facilities that need both process cooling storage and compliant potable water capacity.

Water Tank FAQs

What sizes are available and what lead times should I expect?+
Tanks are available from 12 to 900 gallons. The 40-gallon cabinet configuration is our most commonly stocked item. Larger or non-standard sizes may require lead time. Call 1.800.462.3120 or email Chillers@RiteTemp.com with your capacity requirements and we'll confirm availability and lead time.
Why does post-weld galvanization matter?+
Welding burns away galvanic coating in the heat-affected zone around every seam, leaving those areas unprotected and prone to premature corrosion. Quick Tanks galvanizes after all welding is complete, so every surface — including all weld seams — receives uniform, unbroken zinc protection. This is the key difference that sets Quick Tanks apart from standard galvanized tanks.
Are these tanks safe for food and potable water applications?+
Yes. Quick Tanks are certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 61 (including Annex G) and Standard 372. These certifications verify that the tank materials and construction meet safety requirements for contact with potable water and food-grade fluids. This makes them suitable for brewery, food processing, and drinking water applications in addition to industrial cooling.
How does a buffer tank help my chiller system?+
Adding a buffer tank to your chiller loop increases total system water volume. More water volume means the system responds more slowly to temperature changes, which reduces how often the compressor cycles on and off. Fewer short cycles means less compressor wear, longer equipment life, and more stable process temperatures. Our team can help you size the right buffer tank for your chiller's capacity and your process load profile.
What finish should I choose for the 40-gallon cabinet?+
Both finishes offer the same insulated cabinet and NSF-certified tank inside. The galvanized finish is more industrial and blends with typical equipment room aesthetics. The white powder coat finish gives a cleaner appearance suitable for customer-facing areas, food production environments, or facilities with strict aesthetic standards. Both are priced similarly — contact us for current pricing.
