Start Conserving Water. Save our Planet. Act Now!

Start Conserving Water. Save our Planet. Act Now!

We discussed the worst water crisis that India is facing at present in the previous month’s blog here :IS INDIA FACING THE WORST WATER CRISIS IN ITS HISTORY?

Its high time and we should start conserving water now to save our planet. Water is one of the most precious resources then, now and it always will be. Water gives life to everything present on the planet, human beings, plants, trees, birds, animals etc. We still ignore to take some simple steps to save water. Let’s understand several benefits of water conservation

Water is equal to life. Without water, we will die in just a few days. Plants require water to grow. Animals need water to survive. Water supply is finite. According to a study, ninety-seven percent of water on Earth is salt water that is not suitable for drinking. Remaining three percent is fresh water out of which only one percent is drinkable water. The other two percent is locked in ice caps and glaciers. Do not pollute water as it is only water that we will have in the future.

By reducing the amount of water that we waste every day, we can minimize the effects of water shortages and life taking effects of drought in the future. The saved water will return to Earth through the water cycle but not necessarily to the same place or in ith same quantity and quality.

Saving water is directly proportional to saving money. By utilizing some of the basic water conservation techniques, you can save a huge amount of water and save on your water bills. Good Deal. Isn’t it?

It not only saves money but also saves energy. In order to pump the water into the plastic water storage tanks energy is required. Therefore, a lot of energy gets wasted in moving water from one place to another. Save water, save energy.

It can build safe and beautiful communities such as hospitals, firefighters, gas stations, healing clubs, gyms, public parks, hotels, and restaurants. They can provide better services to the community if water usage is reduced.

Even little effort from every individual will matter a lot in saving and conserving water. These efforts will definitely not go waste. Start saving water as much as you can on a daily basis and see the difference.

It's time to learn to conserve water in the bathroom.

It's time to learn to conserve water in the bathroom.

In the previous month’s blog : we learned to conserve water in the kitchen.

Water is not a free resource. Therefore, it is important to save water as much as and wherever we can. Let us learn to save water in the bathroom and lower our water bills by following these simple tips.

Save water while bathing:

While taking bath, fill the bucket halfway to avoid a water spill over. Do not wait for the water to get hot before plugging the drain. First, drain the plug and then adjust the temperature as the bucket fills. Even then if it takes too long for the water to heat up, save the cold water and use it for watering plants later on.

Install water saving shower heads:

Older showerheads flow at 5 to 7 gallons per minute while low-flow showerheads deliver 2.5 gallons per minute or less. Always keep an eye out for these types while buying a new shower head.

Spend less time in the shower:

This is the place where we waste maximum water and also where we can save gallons of water. One minute of showering represents up to seven gallons of water. Turn off the shower while lathering up and washing hair.

Save water while shaving:

Avoid using running water to rinse off shavings. Collect some water in a mug or so for cleaning the razor after you are done.

Install faucet aerators:

Older faucets use from 3 to 7 gallons per minute. Low-flow faucet aerators use a maximum of 1.5 gallons of water per minute. Attach there aerators to all the existing faucets.

Check for leaks regularly:

Check for all faucets, pipes, toilets etc regularly for leaks and slow drips. It may not seem like much but even a small drip throughout day and night can add up to a waste of plenty of water. Get it fixed immediately.

Turn off the faucet:

Do not leave the faucet open and water running while brushing teeth, shaving, or washing hands and face. Make it a habit to turn off the faucet when not in use.

Reuse bath towels:

Do not wash bath towels after every use, instead hang them to dry to be reused daily and still feel dry and fresh.

Start saving in the bathroom today. Join hands with Penguin Tank and make your home greener.

Availability of power –

A plastic water storage tank is dependent of a pump and that, in turn, on electric current. Thus for a household present in an area with frequent power cuts are far better with a tank of more capacity. In this way, even in the case of long hours of power cut, the residents can count on the water reserved in the tank.

Space available –

Since the overhead water tanks are installed on the roof or on a terrace. The space available for the same is important and so is the strength of the base. A bigger tank, filled to its full capacity might exert more pressure on the roof, which may cause structural damage of building over the period of time.

Environmental condition –

Most of the household rely on the underground water for filling and refilling.  However, in regions where the water table is too low, the same principle does not yield many valuable results and must count on the rainwater harvesting. Accordingly, the size of water tank must be selected to suit the need.

Why Most Plastic Water Storage Tanks Are Black in Color

Why Most Plastic Water Storage Tanks Are Black in Color

The world comprises of several beautiful colors and most of your life, and yet you have settled for black water tanks for all your life. Have you ever wonders that most of the domestic water storage tanks are mainly black in color. Does it have any significance? Of course, but that does not stop you from exploring the other color option of water tanks offered by Penguin Tank.

Penguin Tank

Before exploring the range of colors from Penguin Tank, let’s understand the reason for having black water tank in the first place. After all, there must a well proven reason for following it for so many decades.

What happens to stagnant water?

Any stagnant water, such as the water stored in the tank, when comes to the exposure of the sunlight, starts promoting the growth of algae in it. It is much easily demonstrated in a water body such as a pond, but it can also be found inside of the tank, if allowed to be stagnant for a long time.

How the color black helps?

The black color absorbs the maximum light and thus, a black water tank minimizes the penetration of the sunlight. Overall, it mitigates the growth of algae up to a large extent.

Penguin Tank

But what goes wrong simultaneously?

While it mitigates the algae growth by blocking the sunlight intensity, it acquires a huge temperate as well. This is also due to the fact of being black, as it absorbed the heat as well.

Why nowadays colored tanks are offered as well?

Though growth of algae in the water tank is gross, thankfully it is quite uncommon phenomenon found in the case of the domestic water storage tank. Mainly due the fact that family usage leads to emptying and refilling the water in the tank. This process goes on for at least 3 to 4 times in a week, often 1 to 2 times in a day itself. Thus, water does not stay stagnant.

And one does not need to stick with this particular color and let you explore various others.

How Rotomolding Water Tanks Are Manufactured?

How Rotomolding Water Tanks Are Manufactured?

Human is never satisfied with the technology he invents and executes, which makes them invent even better and advanced technologies in time. When it comes manufacturing water tanks, the methodology has evolved a lot, especially in the recent years. One of the most advanced processes is the rotomolding manufacturing process.

There are several benefits of a rotomolding water tank over a regular tank manufactured by a process. Let’s have a brief look at its manufacturing process.

Rotomolding Water Tanks

In order to manufacture rotomolding water tanks, the mold is partially filled with the semi-liquid or powdered resin. Though other materials like ceramic, nickel, aluminum, copper or gypsum, etc. can also be used, the latest water tanks are made up of plastics. Thus, the resins used for this process mainly comprises of either Polyethylene, Ethylene vinyl acetate, Plastisol, Poly vinyl chloride or thermoplastic resin.

Afterwards, the mold is subjected to heat along with spinning at the same time. The heat liquefies the resin and the spinning action causes centrifugal and centripetal to form inside the mold. It is important to facilitate the spinning in at least 2 axis. This ensures a uniform and homogenous distribution of molten polymer resin inside the mold.

Rotomolding Water Tanks

The centrifugal force is the one that makes the liquid inside to spread outwards and hit the interior surface of the mold. In simple words, the centrifugal force pushes the resin to the boundaries and causes it to acquire the shape of the mold. The uniform spinning ensures that the product inside acquires a uniform thickness throughout the boundary. Shortly afterwards, the entire mold is cooled down from the outside. This results in solidification of the material on its boundary itself.

Thus, it gives a final product of a shell structured with a hollow vacuum inside. The mold is then opened and the product is removed from it. The tanks manufactured by rotomolding process are much benefits over the regular ones. For example, the resultant rotomolding water tank is produced in one whole piece with no fuzz of assembling different parts or chiseling unwanted parts.

The house of Penguin manufactures water storage tanks from the rotomoulding process. It is an ideal destination to get superior quality water tanks in India. Apart from its excellent condition and quality of water tanks, it is also the show stealer, because it provides these products at a very reasonable price.
