Bought this tub because I am using it for Ice Baths. It is great because it has a drain plug and I am able to refill it very easily.

I bought this tank about ten years ago for my horses. I owned Rubbermaid tanks 20 years ago, and they were indestructible, holding up great even in Ohio winters when I had to break the ice out by pounding on the sides of the tank with a sledge hammer. This new tank was just not as sturdy, and when full of water starts bulging out and warping. Recently it started draining through a crack at one of the angles in the bottom (same place everybody else seems to have seen cracks). When my metal tank started leaking after six years, I MIG welded it back together and used it for another eight years (I had to leave it behind in California, and it still wasn't leaking), but repairing plastic is notoriously unreliable. If you just look at it as renting a tank for a few years, then it's not too expensive per year, but then you're left trying to figure out what to do with this giant chunk of useless plastic trash. It's a little big to put in the recycling bin. I just think the quality is not what it used to be, and given how many people are getting cracks, it's just not up to the task.
