Concrete Water Tanks
There are many benefits to having a concrete water tank on your property. They are highly durable and can withstand even the harshest weather conditions. Concrete tanks are also very low maintenance, which is ideal if you don’t want to spend much time and money on upkeep. In addition, concrete tanks are environmentally friendly and can help you save water.
Underground Concrete Water Tanks
Water tanks are an essential part of any home or business. They are used to store water for various purposes, including drinking, washing, and irrigation. Underground water tanks are a type of water tank that is buried beneath the ground.
Tank sizes
When choosing an underground water tank, you should first consider the size of the tank. The tank size you need will depend on the purpose for which you are using it.
A small tank will suffice if you are only using the tank for drinking water. A larger tank will be necessary if you are using the tank for irrigation.
Tank materials
The second is the material the tank is made from. The most common materials for underground water tanks are concrete, fibreglass, and polyethylene.
Concrete tanks are the most expensive but also the strongest and most durable. Fibreglass tanks are less costly but not as strong as concrete tanks. Polyethylene tanks are the least expensive but are also the least durable.
Location
You will need to choose a location for the tank. The location should be level, close to a water source, and not subject to flooding.
Water tank excavation
You will need to excavate a hole for the tank. The hole should be twice as wide as the tank and deep enough.
Water tank installation
Now, the tank can be installed. It should be placed in the hole so that it is level. Once the tank is in place, the hole can be filled with soil.
Water treatment
It’s essential to treat your tank water regularly to ensure that it stays clean and safe. This treatment can be done weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly.
