To all our valued customers: Since the formation of SWHIFT in 1979 to date, we have never had claim against us for damages or injuries resulting in a tank failure or leak to date. With the prevalence of law suits we have been advised to clarify what safety measures are needed for the installation and operation of our pressure tanks, and the potential of a leak. Purchasing tanks from us means you agree to our condition of sale and if you resell our tanks, it is your responsibility to educate the end user of these conditions.
