A friend gave me an 80 gallon galvanized steel tank that I plan on using for a solar water collection tank in an open loop design, meaning the water goes from the solar panels into the 80 gallon tank then into the home water tank. The hot water going into the home hot water tank will keep the elements from kicking on.
Here's the problem. The 80 gallon galvanized tank has rust inside of it but holds 50 PSI and has no leaks. Will this cause a problem for me because of the rust inside of the tank or is there rust in all steel tanks that we just never know about?
