Water Tanks

Install the water tank on a flat, stable surface to prevent tilting or movement.

Place the tank on a strong base, like concrete, to support its weight when full.

Position the tank in a shaded location to protect from prolonged sun exposure and temperature fluctuations.

Conduct routine checks for leaks or cracks to avoid water loss.

Keep the lid tightly closed to prevent dirt and debris from contaminating the water.

Empty and clean the water tank every six months to maintain water quality.

Ensure pipes and hoses used for drinking water tanks are food-grade to prevent contamination.

For rainwater harvesting, use a first-flush diverter to filter out debris.

Avoid overfilling to prevent pressure damage.

Install a filter to keep the water free from dirt and sediment.

Add a ventilation pipe to allow air circulation and prevent tank vacuum.

Keep the overflow outlet clear and functioning to avoid water buildup.

In high-wind areas, secure the tank to prevent it from shifting.

Regularly check fittings and pipes for tightness to prevent leaks.

Use flexible hoses for inlet and outlet connections to reduce strain.

Insulate pipes and tanks in cold climates to prevent freezing.

Clearly label tanks used for non-potable water to avoid confusion.

Use a certified plumber or technician for the initial setup.

Use a gauge or manual checks to monitor water levels.

At the end of its lifespan, recycle or dispose of the tank properly.

Avoid installing on an unstable or sloped surface.

Ensure the base can handle the tank’s full weight; don’t place it on weak foundations.

Avoid prolonged exposure to UV light to extend the tank's life.

Don’t store non-approved chemicals, as they may damage the tank material.

Always close the lid to prevent debris and contaminants from entering.

Failing to clean the tank can lead to bacteria buildup.

Avoid non-food-grade pipes, especially for drinking water, to prevent contamination.

Overfilling can cause stress and damage the tank structure.

Address any visible cracks or leaks immediately.

Avoid adding water without filtering to keep sediment out.

Keep overflow outlets clear to prevent tank flooding or damage.

Avoid using sharp tools that may damage the tank surface.

Over-tightening can crack connections, leading to leaks.

Without a vent, the tank may experience pressure issues.

Keep the tank away from sharp objects or rough surfaces to avoid punctures.

Always ensure water quality is safe, especially for drinking purposes.

Take precautions in extremely hot or cold climates to protect the tank.

Ensure all drinking water tanks are labeled to avoid confusion.

Promptly repair or replace damaged parts to prevent bigger issues.

When no longer in use, avoid improper disposal methods—opt for recycling.
