Empty and Refill Portable Tanks, Again & Again

FAQ: How do you empty a portable pillow tank? Made in the USA

Question: How is a pillow tank emptied out? Are the tanks pumped out or can they be lifted and moved to a disposal site? I am looking at your pillow water tanks. They appear to contain 25-50 gal each. I plan to store grey water from dirty dishes at large catering events. Please send me a price list and delivery details for Toronto, Ontario. We would need pillow tanks by mid June to hold at least 250 gal, based on 25 gal per pillow, to be moved by p/u truck.

Answer: There are a couple of different methods that can be used to empty out a pillow tank regardless of the liquid you are looking to store. Options for this process include:

  • flexible fuel tanksGravity: This allows water to naturally flow out of the tank due to the pull of gravity.
  • Fittings: If needed, we can also offer site-specific fittings that can be added to the tank for connection to hoses. These hoses can then be attached to pumps to pump water out of your storage tank.
