An RV fresh water tank is designed to hold your clean, potable (drinking) water. It must be an FDA-approved, food-grade tank. An RV holding tank is used for wastewater. This category is split into two types: a grey water tank (for sink and shower water) and a black water tank (for toilet waste).

The right size depends on your travel style. For weekend trips, a smaller tank (20-40 gallons) is often fine. For boondocking (living off-grid), you'll want the largest capacity your RV can fit, often 60-100 gallons or more. As a general rule, plan for 3-5 gallons of water per person, per day. We offer RV tanks in a wide range of sizes to fit Class A, B, and C motorhomes, travel trailers, fifth wheels, and campervans.

Nearly all modern RV tanks are made from rotationally molded polyethylene. This material is ideal because it is lightweight, durable, impact-resistant, and won't rust or corrode. For potable water tanks, we use an FDA-approved, food-grade version to ensure your water is safe and taste-free.

Yes, many of our tanks are designed for DIY installation. We offer "blank" tanks, allowing you to add fittings to your RV tank exactly where your plumbing requires. We also provide all-in-one RV tank installation kits and accessories to help you create a professional, leak-proof seal.

To sanitize your RV water system, you should flush it 2-4 times per year. The most common method is to use a diluted solution of household bleach (approx. 1/4 cup of bleach for every 15 gallons of water). Add the solution to your tank, fill it completely, run all faucets, and then let it sit for 8-12 hours before draining and flushing thoroughly with fresh water.

The most important factor is dimensions. You must measure the space your old tank fits into (Length, Width, Height) to find a new tank with the same or slightly smaller measurements. Then, determine your fitting locations. You can either buy a blank tank and customize it or find a model with a similar fitting layout.

Your RV grey water tank specifically collects the wastewater from your RV's sinks (kitchen and bathroom) and your shower. It is kept separate from the black water tank (toilet waste) to make disposal more manageable.

No. You must never use a grey or black water tank for fresh water. However, you can use a new, designated fresh water tank for grey or black water storage if it fits your space, as it is built to be a durable, high-quality holding tank.

A live bait well (or live bait tank) is a specialized tank designed to keep your baitfish, minnows, shad, shrimp, or other bait alive and healthy. Unlike a simple bucket, a true fishing bait well is part of a system with an aerator and water pump to circulate fresh, oxygenated water

Start with a durable, rotationally molded bait well tank. The best tanks are UV-stabilized with rounded corners to prevent bait from "nosing" into a corner and dying. Then, you'll need to plumb it with a bait well pump (to bring in fresh water), an overflow drain (to let old water out), and an aerator (to add oxygen). Our "blank" bait tanks are the perfect foundation for your DIY bait well project.

Many professional anglers prefer a blue bait well. The blue color is believed to calm the bait (simulating deep water) and makes it easier to see and net your bait against the contrasting background.

Yes — our bait well tanks are built for both saltwater and freshwater environments, resisting corrosion and damage from rough handling, temperature shifts, and direct sun exposure.

Yes, many of our marine holding tanks meet United States Coast Guard (USCG) regulations and are made from FDA-compliant polyethylene for use in fresh or waste water applications aboard boats and ships.

As with an RV, a marine grey water tank collects drainage from sinks and showers. A marine black water tank (or "waste holding tank") is specifically for sewage from your boat's toilet (head). Due to maritime law (Marine Sanitation Device or "MSD" regulations), black water must be stored in a proper holding tank and discharged at a designated pump-out station or, if treated by a Type I or II MSD, can be discharged in approved waters.

Our marine fresh water tanks are made from FDA-approved, food-grade polyethylene. This material is the industry standard because it is lightweight, rust-proof, and does not give your drinking water a plastic or metallic taste, which is a common complaint with aluminum tanks.

A bilge tank is not a common term. Your boat's bilge is the lowest space in the hull where water (from leaks, spray, etc.) collects. This water is then removed by a bilge pump. You may be thinking of a grey water tank or a sump box, which collects water from showers and sinks and then pumps it overboard or into a holding tank.

The best way is with an all-in-one tank installation kit. These kits typically use Uniseal fittings, which are flexible rubber gaskets that provide a superior, leak-proof seal on a curved or flat tank wall. They are more durable and vibration-resistant than traditional rigid bulkhead fittings.

Absolutely not. Cross-contamination is a serious health risk. A tank must be designated for one purpose only. You must have a dedicated, food-grade tank for fresh water and completely separate tanks for grey and black water.

That depends on your boat size and bait quantity. We offer bait wells from 24 to 200 gallons, ideal for everything from portable kayak bait tanks to large offshore live bait tanks for commercial use.

A marine tank must be firmly secured to prevent it from shifting or breaking loose in rough seas. This is typically done using a "hold-down" kit, which consists of heavy-duty straps and brackets, or by "glassing" (fiberglassing) custom brackets and chocks to the boat's hull or stringers that perfectly cradle the tank.
