Features to Consider While Getting a Water Tank

• Buying any type of storage tank involves a lot of
  specifications to consider. When you have a
  requirement of water tank then you plan to buy it
  but certain features and specifications are there
  that you must consider.

For what purpose you need storage tank

• Buying a tank requires some basic specs like how
  much water you want to store and where you will
  be placing the tank in your home. If the tank is
  for household purposes then you need to place the
  tank near home and keep it clean. If the storage
  tank is used for irrigation purposes then it must
  have salt inside the tank and should have
  sufficient volume to pump water system properly.
  On the other hand if you are looking for stock
  purposes then you need to place it at a high
  point so that it can pump the water into required
  area quickly. There could be tank required for
  fire purposes then you must have enough volume to
  protect the property against severe fire damage
  as well as it should be close to river or bore so
  that water can be pumped inside the tank when
  required from an external source.

Water requirement

• Next thing to consider is how much water you will
  be requiring. The demand for water depends on
  your daily, weekly and monthly basis. If water is
  supposed to be filled by rainwater then you must
  have enough water stored for dry seasons. If you
  are using as a stock storage then there should be
  a minimum volume to provide supply for animals as
  a daily requirement. When considering tank
  storage for specific purpose then you must
  consider that you have sufficient buffer to
  ensure water is stored for that purpose. You can
  even choose used storage tanks if you are not
  sure about what type of tank would be ideal.

Water source for tank filling

• There can be four main sources of tank such as
  ground water, river, dam and rainwater. When you
  place the tank then you must know how to fill it
  from the water source. Slow filling of the water
  tank can be done through solar pump or windmill.
  If you are going to fill the tank from rainwater
  source then the top of the tank needs to lower
  than the roofline of building from where tanks is
  filled. Another important aspect to consider is
  water quality and how much amount of sediments is
  there in the water and what pieces of material
  get stuck in tank.

Where do you want to install the tank?

• Position of the tank is also important to ensure
  its proper maintenance and functioning. One key
  rule is to install tank at highest possible point
  from where one can pump out the water. It is more
  important if the water is used for fire
  purposes.
• Finding a storage tank for specific purposes
  requires properly checking your requirement and
  doing market analysis before finalizing a tank.
  You can look for an ideal tank in industrial
  machinery auctions and find a suitable tank
  according to your requirement.
