This Children’s Day Know About The Safety Of Water For Children

Did you know that at least 1 million children die every year due to water-borne diseases in India? Out of them, at least 6,00,000 children are under the age of five and they mostly die due to inadequate supply of water. Even though India is progressing every day in each field, we still have a long way to go. If we can’t protect our children, then there will be no future for our country. Yet, we lose so many children every year just because they didn’t have access to safe water. On this Children’s Day, Penguin Tank, supplier of water tanks in Kolkata is asking you to come forward and work towards making the water of India safe for children.

While medically we have progressed so much and so many doctors are born in our country every day, it is a shame that one-third of all deaths of children under the age of five in India are due to diarrhoea and pneumonia. This is due to the contamination of water in rural areas. It has been estimated that at least one-third of groundwater in rural areas are contaminated with microbes. But this contamination is very much preventable through maintenance and following sanitisation practices.

Other than groundwater, India’s main sources of drinking water are the rivers in all states. But urban population have either dried up those rivers or they have polluted it with industrial pollutants. While the urban population have access and money to filter the contaminated water to drink clean and safe water, the rural population still does not have that. This is why most children who die from water-borne diseases are from rural areas.

So, this is a high time, that we become conscious about how our actions are affecting so many children who have the right to have a good future just like your children. This year, while you are celebrating children’s day with your children, think about how so many other children do not have access to a basic thing like clean water.

While the government takes steps to give access to safe and clean groundwater in rural areas, it is our job to keep the rivers clean and not waste unnecessary water. Try not to use water more than the water tank that has been installed in your house. Not only you need to become environment-conscious, but also you need to teach your child to do the same too. So, become a good teacher and a good role model for your children by working to protect the water of India.

Penguin Tank Wishes A Very Happy Eco-Friendly And Safe Durga Puja

Penguin Tank Wishes A Very Happy Eco-Friendly And Safe Durga Puja

The month of October is a very special time for the people of West Bengal and other surrounding states as they start preparing for the biggest festival, Durga Puja. Every year, so much effort and money go into making this festival a success. But, this year things might be a bit different due to the pandemic. Although there has been no announcement of restrictions during the puja and the government has given the green signal, but there are still some necessary precautions that need to be taken. This is why, Penguin Tank, a supplier of plastic water storage tanks in West Bengal, is wishing everyone a happy Durga Puja and would like to urge people to celebrate it in a different way this year.

Take Necessary Precautions

If you are adamant to go outside in the crowd in this pandemic, you should at least take all the necessary precautions. Don’t forget your mask, gloves, face shield, and sanitizer while dressing up for the festival. Carry these things at all times with you and use them diligently. If you are thinking of pandal hopping, make sure to maintain distance from the crowd. At least for this year, avoid eating street foods and don’t drink water from anywhere. Carry water with you at all times. As soon as you come back wash everything immediately and take a shower.

Celebrate Eco-Friendly Puja

If you want to do something different this year, then try the concept of eco-friendly puja. Not only you will be safe from COVID-19 but also while you are at it, you will be saving the environment. There are several ways to do that. Try using eco-friendly decorations for the puja. This includes biodegradable materials like natural colours, clay, flowers, etc. It is already expected that this year the number of pandals will decrease as not everyone is willing to take the risk of infection by organising the puja. But, if you are involved, you can make the idol eco-friendly too. Also, try out the option of artificial immersion tank which you can use at the end of the puja to immerse the idols. Many small towns already use it to limit water pollution in the water bodies.

So, whether you want to celebrate by getting fully involved in the puja or by playing it safe, remember to take precautions at all times. Most importantly, try to avoid contact with others as much as possible and avoid outside food and water. You can only trust the water from your plastic water storage tank during this time.

Happy Durga Puja To All!!

Some Myths And Facts About Water Storage That Everyone Should Know

Some Myths And Facts About Water Storage That Everyone Should Know

Some Myths And Facts About Water Storage That Everyone Should Know

Storing of water should be done very carefully to prevent contamination. But water storage is very important in our daily life. Whether we store water in a water bottle or a plastic water storage tank, there are precautions that you should take. But many of those precautions have also come from old myths. You need to know which one is a myth and which one is a fact.

Treat Water Before Storing It

Sure, a lot of people do this but this is not a necessity which you need to follow. In most cases, if you are using tap water, it has already been treated. Using chemicals to treat water, especially for drinking is not recommended. But if you want to, then treat it before using it and not before storing it.

Do Not Store Water Barrels On Cement

Water barrels are used for many purposes. But often it is said that water barrels should not be kept on cement. But the fact is that you should not keep water barrels only on heated cement. If you want to store them on a cement floor in a cool place, there will be no harm. But if the cement comes on to direct contact to the sunlight during the day, then it will cause a problem.

Stored Water Tastes Bad

Water is said to be tasteless, but yet we think stored water tastes bad. This is not true. In reality, if the water is stored for many days, then it tends to lack oxygen which changes the taste. It can be easily rectified by pouring it back and forth and infusing oxygen back into the water.

Boil Water For 10 Minutes To Make It Safe For Use

You do not need to boil water every time you want to drink. Nowadays, water purifiers are used to purify the water stored in your plastic water storage tank. Boiling water can lead to a lot of fuel wastage.

You Need To Drink A Gallon Of Water Per Day

A lot of times, we hear that drinking a gallon of water per day is important. But this is not true. This amount is not just for drinking but rather all the other activities like bathing, cooking, cleaning, etc.

Therefore, learn to differentiate between the myths and facts about storing water so that you can store water in a plastic water storage tank without any problem.

This World Rivers Day Adopt These Ways To Conserve The River Water

This World Rivers Day Adopt These Ways To Conserve The River Water

Rivers and lakes are the only sources of freshwater that we have on Earth. All the water that we use in our everyday life or the water we keep stored in our plastic water storage tank mostly comes from the river. So, saving them for our survival should be one of our biggest priority. The major problem is how rivers are becoming dry and how they are becoming polluted more and more. But, it’s not always up to the government or an NGO to conserve river water. Sometimes, small steps taken by individuals can turn out to be beneficial in the long turn. So, this World Rivers Day, we are giving you some tips on how to conserve river water on your own at home.

Reduce wastage of water

We tend to waste water on a daily basis without even thinking about it. Whether it is taking long showers or using the washing machine before it has even filled up, there are so many little things we can stop doing. Ultimately, if you are getting water supply from rivers, then you will stop getting supply one day. Rivers in many places have dried so much that it has become a concern. The level of underground water seems to have gone down a lot too which can rise only with a lot of rain. So, it is your duty to reduce the usage of water as much as possible. So, reduce your daily showering time. Also, it is better to use a bucket rather than showering. Wait for your washing machine to be full before you wash them. Turn off your taps at home when you are not using it, especially while soaping your dishes or brushing.

Use river-friendly products

Using biodegradable products is the best way to conserve water. Apart from wasting water polluting the water is also killing the river water. If you throw wastes non-biodegradable products in the river it ends up polluting the river. Even if you don’t throw it in the river yourself, it ends up in the river ultimately. So, do not flush trash like diapers, wet wipes, etc. which can end up in the local streams, other water bodies and rivers eventually.

So, this World Rivers Day, become a bit more conscious of how you are using water and take an active part in saving river water. Use the right kind of products to store water like a plastic water storage tank that will keep your water fresh and clean for a long time and it won’t go to waste.

Is It Possible To Drink Water From A Domestic Water Storage Tank?

Is It Possible To Drink Water From A Domestic Water Storage Tank?

Is It Possible To Drink Water From A Domestic Water Storage Tank?

Water safety has become a huge problem nowadays. A lot of people die every year from drinking unsafe water or due to unavailability of safe water. So, storing water in a safe place should be your first priority. This is where domestic water storage tank comes in. Most people use these tanks to store their daily use of water every day. But you need to know whether the plastic tank you are using is safe for storing drinking water before you start to use it.

There have been many cases over the years where even the water stored in a domestic water storage tank has been polluted and people drinking from them get sick badly. There is a reason why even tightly locked tanks can get their water polluted. The reason is too much sunlight on the sidewall of the tank and the growth of the algae. When water comes into direct contact with sunlight, living things start to grow. Also, if your tank doesn’t have airtight lids, then it can very easily give way to dirt, bacteria, and other types of germs.

So, try to buy domestic water storage tank that is algae resistant. The best type of tank to buy is MAXX Foam 4 or 5 from Penguin Tank. These multi-layered tanks are not only good in keeping the water safe but also the inner layer is made of food-grade material. Food-grade material is capable of storing water safe enough for drinking. It also has airtight lids that prevent any germs from entering the tank. Make sure that the manufacturer of your domestic water storage tank is government approved.

Other than that, even though your tank is good enough to store water for drinking, it is still better to filter the water. This is because water is becoming polluted everywhere due to the increase in pollution. Whether your water is being supplied from underground water or directly from a river, it is not safe to drink the water directly without filtration. So, make sure you filter it well before drinking it.

So, even though it is possible to drink water from your domestic water storage tank, it is better not to take any risk and filter the water before you drink it. Other than that, you can use the water for all other purposes without filtering it if you use a multi-layered tank.

Tips To Prevent Pipes Of A Domestic Water Storage Tank From Bursting

Tips To Prevent Pipes Of A Domestic Water Storage Tank From Bursting

A domestic water storage tank is in itself very important for storing water but so is all the other accompanying parts of it. Pipes, for example, are one of the most important accessories of a water tank. They should be checked too on a regular basis. Water pipes are the only way to supply the water to different places of a house. But, sometimes these pipes tend to burst without any preamble which is a situation no one wants to experience or deal with as it causes a large mess. But in order to maintain the pipes, you need to know the reason why pipes suddenly burst. This is mainly due to the cold weather. It mostly happens during the winter and in cold regions. Read on to find out how cold weather affects the pipes.

During the cold weather, the water cools down automatically. This cold water leads to contraction of pipes and leads to leak in and around the weakened areas. Also, we don’t have much control over the contraction of the pipes due to cold water as there is no solution for heating up the temperature of the water. So, it is better to keep a check on the leaks over time, especially when the temperature changes to minimise the chance of bursting. We are going to give you some useful tips to prevent pipes from bursting.

• The very first step you can take is to keep one or two faucets running very slowly in extremely cold weather conditions. If you do this for a while, it will reduce the chances of the pipes becoming frozen. • Keep a check on the pipes that are located near an outside wall or a window. The pipes that outside have the most chances of getting frozen. So, keep those areas warmer, especially the pipes around your home. • Another useful thing you can do is to keep the hose disconnected from the outside faucet to prevent it from freezing and breaking. • You can also install heat tape to keep the pipes warm during winters or cold weather.

Buying the top quality domestic water storage tank and good quality pipes with it is the best thing to do. Make sure you do a quality check before buying them so that even cold weather can’t do anything to the pipes. Follow the tips to make sure they don’t freeze and burst suddenly even in extreme weathers.

6 Tips To Help You Prepare A Base For A Plastic Water Storage Tank

6 Tips To Help You Prepare A Base For A Plastic Water Storage Tank

6 Tips To Help You Prepare A Base For A Plastic Water Storage Tank
Are you thinking of installing a plastic water storage tank at your workplace or your home? In most cases, your manufacturer should be the one installing it for you. But if you want to do it yourself, you will need to follow some important steps. One of those important steps is to make a base for your plastic water storage tank. A base should be very sturdy and of good quality y so that it has enough strength to hold the tank for at least 15-20 years. There are several types of bases you can make. You can make it with sand, pea gravel, dirt or clay and lastly concrete. Most people prefer the base to be of concrete as they have proven to be the most sturdy. Take a look at how you can do it. 1. If you are making a base with concrete, make sure you remove all the rocks from the surface whether they are small or large rocks. Even the smallest ones can puncture the plastic water storage tank from the bottom. If the tank is filled with water, it can put pressure on the base and eventually it will break out. 2. Don’t use two types of materials to make a base. It should either be of concrete or of dirt. Mixing the two can create a problem. If you mix dirt with it, during the rain it can wash the dirt away. This will put extra pressure on the base of the tank and it can create cracks and splits. 3. If you want to make the base of sand or dirt, then you need to make sure that it is well-supported. As mentioned above, heavy rain can very easily wash away sand or dirt from around your tank. So, make sure that there is a good drainage system around the tank. So, even though it rains heavily the water should drain away just as easily. In most cases, good support should be made with concrete, rocks, or timber. 4. If you want a concrete base, then you need to use rebar or mesh. This will make the concrete base strong and it won’t break over time. If you are not sure where to get it from, talk to a professional. 5. Make sure the surface is compacted if you are making a base of gravel, dirt, or sand. If the surface is compacted, then it will be a levelled and even surface. This will prevent any kind of pressure on any parts of the base or the tank. The base should always be levelled. It keeps the pressure on the base even. So, follow these tips to make a good base for your plastic water storage tank and you will get a base that will last for a long time.

5 Reasons A Commercial Water Storage Tank Is Important To Have

5 Reasons A Commercial Water Storage Tank Is Important To Have

Whether it’s your home or your workplace, a water storage tank is always essential. In India, we face different types of climatic conditions and in some places, there is still a scarcity of water faced by people. But in your workplace, you must always have an uninterrupted water supply. This is why a commercial water storage tank should be kept for daily usage. Here are five important benefits you will have for keeping a water tank at your workplace.

Save Money On Water Bills

Nothing is free in this world, not even water. Water usage both at home and your workplace can be endless and costly. If you install a commercial water storage tank, you will be able to save a lot of money, especially if you use rainwater. Storing rainwater and making it clean and safe for the people using it daily can lower your expenditure by a lot and also keep them safe and healthy.

Multiple Options Available

Gone are the days when there used to be only one type of black coloured plastic tank. Nowadays, there are many options available for commercial water storage tanks. You can choose from different styles, different colours and different sizes. These tanks are the best quality as they are made of high-quality LLDPE material. The manufacturing process is simple and the inner layer makes it safe to store clean water.

Save water

Just because it is a tank in a workplace doesn’t mean there is not much use of it. Just like in-home where you use water for every single household chore like washing, cooking, cleaning, gardening, etc., a workplace also requires a lot of water. Rather too many people can end up using and wasting unnecessary water. So, using rainwater collected in the water tank can save a lot of water.

Save The Environment

Conserving water is important to save the environment. Not only that, some people think that a plastic water tank is harmful to the environment. But rather it is quite the opposite. A commercial water storage tank can be used for a very long time and the manufacturing process does not emit any kind of harmful gas.

So, if you are looking for a good quality commercial water storage tank, come to Penguin Tank and choose your tank that will suit your needs the most.
