Our company can provide professionally designed iron tower structures and top water tanks. There are usually three options for customers to choose from. Hot-dip galvanized water tanks and fiberglass water tanks are materials that customers often purchase. Stainless steel water tanks are relatively expensive, so a few customers will choose this type of material for special purposes.
Step of choose elevated water tank
Confirm Requirements
Water consumption: Assess the daily water consumption of the client, including the water needs of residential, commercial and industrial areas.
Peak demand: Consider additional demand during peak periods of water use, such as in the morning and evening, and ensure that the tank can provide sufficient water at these times as well.
Future growth: Reserve a certain amount of capacity to adapt to the increase in the number of users or water demand in the future.
Material Selection
Hot dip galvanizing: suitable for ordinary non-drinking water storage.
Stainless steel: suitable for drinking water storage, with strong corrosion resistance.
Glass fiber Reinforced plastic (FRP) : Light weight and excellent corrosion resistance, suitable for a variety of environmental conditions.
Design and Construction
Structural strength: Ensure that the design and structure of the tank can withstand its own weight as well as external environmental factors (such as wind loads, earthquake loads).
Installation height: Determine the optimal installation height of the tank based on the required water pressure to ensure the effective operation of the gravity water supply system.
