People these days are more likely to choose plastic water storage tanks over steel or concrete water tanks for various reasons. But, even after witnessing the wide popularity of plastic water tanks, there are many people who possess some misconceptions regarding a plastic water storage tank. We, the team members of Penguin tank being the connoisseurs of water tanks manufacturer in West Bengal would like to enlighten you about the 4 most popular myths along with the facts regarding plastic tanks.

Myth-1

Water can be stored in any kind of plastic tanks

Fact-

If you are one of them who think that any kind of plastic material can store water for drinking and other purposes, then you are having one of the greatest misconceptions regarding plastic tanks. The plastic material of a water storage tank needs to fulfill some essential criteria. Such as,
• The plastic material has to be virgin and food-grade material.
• UV resistant mandatorily
• Certified for its quality and originality.
As a plastic water storage tank becomes the main source of drinking water for both domestic and commercial purposes, the plastic quality has to be supreme. It must help a water tank to keep the water fresh and drinkable for a longer period of time.

Myth-2

Only barrels are used for harvesting rainwater

Fact-

Yes, it is indeed a good idea to store rainwater in barrels. But, if it comes to the water storage tanks, it is also a good idea for harvesting rainwater. As the plastic water storage tanks are way larger and hold more water than the water barrels, they are quite a better choice if we compare the two.

Myth-3

It is better if the water storage tank holds so many layers in it

Fact-

It is quite good if a water storage tank holds multiple layers. But that has to be within the limit. More than 5 layers in a water storage tank is quite unnecessary and they make the tank way heavier for no reason.

Myth-4

If a water storage tank offers a lot of features, it will be a good water tank

Fact-

Possessing various good and modern features is good in a water tank. But if the tank is not certified, it will not be a reliable one. Hence, no water tank is reliable if that is not certified despite having a lot of features.
