Favorite Expansion Tanks

Just curious what expansion tanks you guys prefer. We've been using Extrols for years and they seem to hang in pretty well. Have had some issues with glycol systems that have gone south. Wish you could still get EPDM bladder in the #15 - #60's

Thanks in advance

    Expansion tanks

    I've seen them go 5 months to 15 years. Depends of the condition of the fluid in system, temperatures reached, and correctly speced for job.

    We use Vent-Rite tanks from Flexcon Ind.

    and they work fine. http://www.flexconind.com/ Nothing wrong with Amtrol tanks either, although I'm not a fan of the Fill-Trol system.

    Just a thought, you might want to use a domestic water expansion tank for glycol or harsh water systems.
