History of Aquastore® Tanks
Engineered Storage Products Company (formerly A.O. Smith) first discovered methodology of controlling corrosion by fusing glass to steel in the 1930′s. The technology was initially used in the brewing and hot water heater industries. While other uses for glass-fused-to-steel were explored, the first glass-fused-to-steel tank went into service in 1949 as a Harvestore® silo. This agricultural use to store feed while retaining quality has been widely used for almost 60 years.
In the 1970′s, Engineered Storage Products Company formed its Municipal and Industrial Division and subsequently launched Aquastore® tanks for water, wastewater and other liquid storage uses. Since then, more than 100,000 glass-fused-to-steel Aquastore® tanks have been installed in over 70 countries around the world.
Engineered Storage Products Company has a long and storied history of turning raw steel into the finest storage tanks available. Glass-fused-to steel has become the premium water and liquid storage technology leader. Aquastore owners choose glass-fused-to-steel technology over other tank designs for several reasons.
