I'll be building soon and am wanting a sealed catchment.
I know Chemtainer has them, but am wondering if they are the only place on the island that does.
Are there any other places that have 4000 gallon sealed containers for catchment? If so, where and roughly what price?

Chemtainer is the only local manufacturer; I doubt importing anything else is practical.

There are large water bladders. Military uses them a lot. They're sealed.

Assume the best and ask questions.

They make roofs for regular catchment tanks.
If you want poly tanks - chemtaianer- go with several of the standard size ones bigger tanks have more engineering issues

Chas: I've seen Pete's work, those are nice but out of my price range.
Rob: I recall playing on one of those in my younger days, though I don't think that would be practicable for my use.
kalakoa: thanks, I have no problem with a 4k chemtainer... just looking to save a buck or two is all

Generally, can't save much on "durable goods" in Hawaii.

Swimming-pool catchment is cheap-n-easy, but somewhat less permanent, and should never be considered potable.
Set on a base of sand and/or asphalt shingles and/or scavenged plywood.
Without doing the math, 12 x 2.5 is something like 2500 gallons...
