Water tanks

A water tank is designed to create a backup water supply. Plastic tanks are suitable for storing drinking and industrial water. Universal devices can be used to store liquid food products – vegetable oil, juices, milk and dairy products, wine and other alcoholic beverages. To store chemicals, fertilizers, fuel and petroleum products, you need to buy a plastic barrel.

Water tanks: scope of application

A plastic tank designed for storing water can be used for various purposes and business tasks. This is a mandatory element of modern autonomous water supply and sewerage systems. Today, utility system elements are made mainly of plastic, which is associated with numerous advantages:

• Possibility of manufacturing tanks and pipes of different sizes and shapes, taking into account the needs, design project and placement conditions.
• Low weight of elements, which simplifies transportation, unloading and loading, installation of utility systems.
• Resistance to corrosion and mold. Plastic elements of water supply and sewerage systems are constantly in contact with moisture and are resistant to its destructive effects, unlike metal products.

Plastic water tanks are necessary for creating water reserves in agricultural areas, garden plots, vegetable gardens and in private households. In agricultural enterprises, tanks are used to arrange automatic watering and irrigation systems. Durable plastic can withstand significant weight loads, which allows you to install the tank underground, provided that a protective sheathing is installed. Entrepreneurs should buy a water tank to solve a variety of business problems:

• Delivery of liquid agricultural and livestock products to the processing site.
• Growing and transporting live fish.
• Collection of melt and rainwater.
• Storage of bulk products – cereals, sugar, grain.
• Transportation and storage of fertilizers in liquid form.

It is advisable to use a polymer water tank as a storage for fuel and lubricants at enterprises with their own vehicle fleet. 

Water tanks: advantages of use

Compared to a metal analogue, a plastic tank weighs 5 times less. The weight of the tank is of particular importance when it comes to large-sized products with a capacity of up to 3000 m3. Due to the low weight, transportation and installation processes are simplified. Rotational molding technology is often used to manufacture water tanks, which involves creating a seamless structure. The absence of seams ensures complete tightness of the product and increased resistance to mechanical impacts – accidental impacts, vibrations. Other advantages of a plastic water tank:

• Chemical resistance
• Elasticity and resilience.
• Resistance to impact loads.
• Abrasion resistance.
• Durability – service life up to 60 years.
• Wide range of permissible temperatures – from -30 ° C to + 50 ° C.
• Repairability – the ability to restore integrity and functionality in case of any damage.

Hygiene is also worth mentioning. Modern plastics meet sanitary and hygienic requirements. The advantages include the ability to wash internal and external surfaces using detergents and carry out disinfection treatment. An air valve is available, which provides ventilation and prevents water stagnation.

Water tanks: how to choose

To choose the right water tank, you need to consider the purpose and needs. If you plan to store drinking water, tanks made of food-grade plastic are suitable, which does not interact with the stored liquid, does not change the taste and smell. For the arrangement of a hot water supply system, tanks are selected from plastic that is resistant to high temperatures. Other selection criteria:

• A certificate confirming the product’s compliance with safety and quality standards.
• Capacity. The indicator depends on the volume of water that users need.
• Material of manufacture. The main types are polyethylene and polypropylene, which differ in properties.
• Shape and orientation – horizontal, vertical, square. Depends on the design project and the location of the tank.
• Equipment. Fittings, bends for hoses and pipelines, nipples and other fittings are selected taking into account the purpose of the tank.

Once you have decided on the main characteristics, you should answer the question of where to buy a water tank. The only correct answer is from the manufacturer at the KRAFT company. One of the reasons to order plastic tanks from the manufacturer is a lower price without intermediary markups. Another advantage is the ability to buy a water tank of the required volume and shape. If a product with the required parameters is not in the catalog, specialists will promptly manufacture it.
