FRP Water Tank Selection Guide: Full Analysis of Materials, Specifications and Maintenance

When choosing a FRP water tank, not only its immediate use needs should be considered, but also long-term maintenance and durability. The following is a comprehensive selection guide covering materials, specifications, basic requirements and maintenance to help you make an informed choice.

1. Material considerations

SMC material: high-quality FRP water tanks usually use SMC (Sheet Molding Compound) sheet molding plastic as the main material, this material has high strength, corrosion resistance, aging resistance characteristics.
Plate thickness and quality: plate thickness directly affects the pressure bearing capacity and service life of the water tank. When selecting, it should be confirmed whether the plate thickness meets the industry standard. Under normal circumstances, the thicker the plate thickness, the stronger the bearing capacity.
Food grade resin: Ensure that the inner wall of the water tank in contact with drinking water is food grade resin to ensure water quality safety and non-toxic.2. Specifications and size

Standard plate: The common standard plate size on the market is 1000×1000mm, 1000×500mm and 500×500mm, which can be freely combined according to demand.
size customization: the length, width and height size of the water tank are based on 500mm, which can be customized flexibly according to the actual storage demand, but attention should be paid to the basic load bearing and space layout.

3. installed base

Concrete foundation: the water tank shall be installed on a flat and solid concrete foundation, with the tolerance of foundation levelness not exceeding 5mm, the difference of diagonal length not exceeding 20mm, and the minimum distance between foundation and surrounding walls and ground being 400 mm.
Foundation layout: foundation center spacing should be 1000mm, and the length of concrete strip foundation should be greater than the length of water tank 300mm to ensure stability.

4. maintaining

Avoid storing non-potable water:

only for drinking water, avoid storing hot water or liquids containing corrosive ingredients such as acids and alkalis.
Inlet and outlet pipe connection rubber flexible joint connection is adopted to ensure that the expansion and contraction of pipes will not affect the water tank, and the weight of the pipe is supported independently.
Regular cleaning: Check and clean the inside of the tank regularly to remove impurities and sediments and keep the water clean.
External protection: Keep the surrounding environment of the water tank clean, avoid external pollutants from entering, and set up fences or covers if necessary.

5. manufacturers choose

Factory reputation: choose manufacturers with good reputation and production qualifications to ensure product quality and after-sales service.
Cost-effective: comprehensive consideration of price, quality, service and other factors, do not pursue low prices and ignore quality
