Default Water Heater Body Bags.
Rector Seal makes an EZ Haul, reusable water heater disposal bag. But it's made out of canvas, and Im thinking after a couple of bad, rusted out ones, that thing is going to get roached. Anyone know of any other manufactures, possibly a vinyl lined one for easy cleaning?

They have those shubee bags on their website for about 4 bucks each. I think they are nothing more than extra large contractor garbage bags. I would compare the two beore I bought the shubee.

I checked them out and ordered 10. They are 3 mil plastic $ 3.74 each. I think I'm going to order the rector seal bag as well, and double bag em'. I have one to take out of a basement that is a rusted out leaker. I think it will be easier this way, I hope.

Look at this website and then compare that to shubee price.

Now here is the link to the shubee. Second row of items is the water heater bags....

To shubee's credit their bag is 6" taller.

I just take 3 or 4 mil poly, lay it on the floor and put the W/H in the center and make my own bag. A little duct tape and a roll of poly will go a long way.

I use the box the new one came in. i use the sides to lay down on the floor and the bottom of the box to put the old heater on. Old blankets and plastic work great.

Seems like the legs on old water heaters would rip right through anybag....those legs can be sharp.

Hell I can get the 60 gal 4 mil bags for .91 each. Hell I could use 2 per heater and still be cheaper than shubee. And 4 mil instead of 3. Thanks TM.
