How To Choose Water Tank, Steel Or Plastic?

 Industrial production and daily life often need to store water, the choice of water tank is a point can not be ignored. Generally, water tank can be divided into steel water tank and plastic water tank, and then some people often can’t help wondering: which is better between steel water tank and plastic water tank? How can I choose the most suitable one for myself that can not only guarantee the water safety, but also reduce the cost of investment as much as possible? According to decades of our water tank manufacturing experiences, the following article will give you a detailed introduction.

The evident difference between steel water tank and plastic water tank is material, plastic water tank mostly adopts PE material, while the steel water tank is usually a stainless steel tank. There are four main points need to be considered when we choose a suitable water tank - price, capacity, quality, and application.

Steel water tank ensures the water more clean

Steel water tank is becoming more and more popular as its excellent performance on strength、corrosion resistance and lifespan. This kind of water tank is suitable for the storage of drinking water in the daily life of small residential areas, office buildings, schools and small factories, and water storage for fire fighting. The most used steel water tank is stainless steel water tank as its good rust prevention performance, it can be divided into vertical water tank、horizontal water tank、transportation water tank, above ground water tank, underground water tank, etc.   

Stainless steel water tank advantages

Stainless steel water tank has characteristics of attractive appearance, light weight, long service life, simple installation, low cost, wide application, etc.

Hygiene, non – toxic, high resistance to corrosion, it can thoroughly reflect sunlight to absorb heat, and fully guarantee the clean water as the inside of stainless steel water tank does not breed algae.

Stainless steel water tank is equipped with air filtration device、 inspection manhole and anti poising locking device, greatly preventing the stored water from secondary pollution. Nowadays, stainless steel water tank is one of the most popular water storage tanks all over the world.

Stainless steel water tank has an excellent sealing, the special sealing design completely eliminates the invasion of harmful substances and mosquito into the tank, ensures the water neither be polluted by the external environment, nor breed bacteria.

Stainless steel water tank disadvantage

Because of the particularity of its production material, stainless steel water tank is just suitable for the industrial production and domestic water storage, it cannot store hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, or the liquid with larger basic and acidic content.

Conclusion

From this comparison, it is easy to draw a conclusion that plastic water tank and steel water tank are all ideal containers for storing water, the differences between them is only in the change of use range and environment. Plastic water tank is suitable for atmospheric storage and acid and alkali solvent, while steel water tank can store water with higher requirement in hygiene and use safety. In a word, when choose our own water tank, we should not only follow the business advice but also take into account our own actual application environment.

What Can Water Storage Tanks Be Used For?

A  water tank  is a container for storing water and is widely used in the agricultural, industrial and fire fighting sectors.     Common Uses of Water Tanks   Rainwater harvesting Rainwater harvesting is very suitable for water conservation purposes, especially in areas where water is not abundant. Rainwater is accumulated and stored for reuse, rather than simply allowed to run meaninglessly to the ground.   Potable Water Storage Storage of potable water is a common application. What is extraordinary is knowing the myth of storing potable water. It is that water will expire. As the name implies, water does not expire, but it can become chemically or biologically contaminated. Once the taste goes bad, it can be purified by simply rotating the container. To store drinking water indefinitely, keep it in a cool, shaded area, not directly on a concrete surface or on harsh fumes and chemicals.   For irrigation agricultural purposes Irrigation and agricultural water tanks play an important ro

Glass fused to steel tanks for potable water storage Product Description Drinking water includes clean natural springs, well water, river water and lake water, but also includes treated mineral water, pure water, etc.The processed drinking water has the form of bottled water, direct drinking water ,tap water,   etc.   To ensure the safety of drinking water, the non-toxic, harmless, safe and reliable drinking water storage tanks should be selected.Ordinary drinking water storage tanks can not meet the standard of safe drinking water storage of drinking water, and because of the large volume is inconvenient to install and migrate, it is more troublesome for many areas.   So our food grade GFS tanks /GLS tanks/ Glass coated tanks  will be a very good solution for it. Water is the most valuable resource on earth. To protect it against dust and bacteria, the food grade glass surface of GFS Tanks  is the best solution. To effectively use the glass to storage water, we melt it with steel. So
