UBB,
I bought an equipment kit from ECKraus 4 years ago. It came with 2 tuff-tanks which I used exactly twice. The ring that was supposed to seal the drain-cock leaked one day while I was at work. Didn't leak much but I never trusted it after that. ECKraus did replace the bad parts. Also I found that it was much harder to clean than a bucket. I use one of them now as a cork-a-dor.
