Description
Where it is the right choice: at apartment block, complex and facility scale, in the range where plastic is not enough by volume and a modular panel tank would be larger than needed.
A galvanised water tank is the solution in which a steel body is protected against corrosion by a hot-dip galvanised coating. It sits in the range where you have passed the volume limit of plastic tanks but do not need the scale of a modular panel tank: buildings and medium-sized facilities.
Its advantages are durability and dimensional stability, giving longer life than plastic and safe use at higher volumes. For domestic water the integrity of the coating and the condition of the inner surface should be checked regularly — damage to the coating is where corrosion starts. It is also preferred for fire reserve applications; but remember that a fire reserve is not dissolved into the same volume as the domestic supply, it is calculated separately.
A tank on its own is not the solution: storing the water is the tank’s job, getting it up to the top floors under pressure is the booster set’s. Designing the two together removes overflow, dry running and pressure problems from the outset.
Key Features
- Hot-dip galvanised steel body — corrosion resistance
- Medium to large volume range, suited to building and facility scale
- Dimensional stability: safe use at high volumes
- Suitable for fire reserve applications
- Long service life
How to Choose
- Purpose: potable and domestic water, fire reserve and process water are calculated separately and not combined.
- Position and structure: the filled weight is assessed against the load capacity of the floor.
- Coating check: coating integrity is inspected at installation and at periodic maintenance.
- Hygiene: a closed system, an insect-screened vent and annual cleaning apply here too.
