We take a lot of time and do calculations while deciding on a place to have dinner or pick up a perfect party wear dress for us. Similarly, selecting a plastic water storage tank is not an easy task. There is so much to consider to get a perfect one as per our need. It is a one-time investment and we are good to go for several years. Before making the selection, it is mandatory to understand our requirement and then make a comparison. Let us throw some light on the basic features of a storage tank.

Size

The sizes of a plastic water tank can vary anything from 50 to 20000 gallons. It is important to make your consideration and find out how much quantity of water is needed to be stored inside on a regular basis. If not sure what size is right for you, talk to a pro. They will help you figure out the exact number of gallons you need for storage.

Shape

The different shapes of water storage tanks include water closet, vertical, bladder or pillow, stock tanks and so on. For e.g., Vertical cylindrical tanks are ideal for above ground while horizontal cylindrical tanks are more appropriate for underground storage applications.

Colour

The most common colours of plastic water tanks are black, green, white and beige, Many attractive colours have now been introduced now. For some, this is just for the feature while for others for aesthetics. But the fact remains that dark colours like black or dark green remain the favourites because they prevent sunlight from getting into the tank and prevents the growth of algae the most.

Ultraviolet Protection

UV stabilised water tanks protects the water tank from harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun that can lead to discolouration, cracking and loss of strength.

Bisphenol A(BPA) Free

Make sure to use a plastic water tank which is BPA free. BPA is an industrial chemical used to harden plastics and is harmful to our health.

Gravity Weight

Specific gravity or SPG is a rating measured as per the amount of weight per gallon that a tank can support. It is important to understand the weight per gallon of the water you are storing.
