➡ ACTION: If you have a customer interested in a 10,500 SAFE-Tank, notify your Regional Manager or Frontline contact to get it queued for production. We need to know what initial orders might be coming!

- Simply enable the recording feature, announce it to your customer, and once the call ends, you’ll have a playback button and written notes ready to review or send to a team member.
- Perfect for staying organized and following up on promises.

🏗 Product Feature: Open Top Containment Tanks paired with a Vertical Tank
Shelly Doty, our California Frontline Inside Sales Lead, is spotlighting Open Top Tanks – (normally a versatile solution for mixing fluid and dry powders) as containment for another tank.
Shelly created an Open Top Pairing List on the P3 Partner Site:
- Lists vertical tank sizes with matching open tops.
- Table notes interstitial space (room between inner and containment tanks)
- Flags if tank and containment ship from different plant sites
🔍 Why it matters:
- Great for installations under lean-tos or indoors
- Provides an alternative when a SAFE-Tank isn’t the right option.
👉 Chart covers up to 3,000-gallon verticals (with larger options up to 12,000 gallons available).
