How to Pick The Right Plastic Tank?
So many people have ended up disappointed with their purchase of a plastic tank because they did not know that there are quite a number of things to consider before buying one. Most of the people looking to buy a plastic tank either need it for a hot water tank or a rainwater catchment. The reason you require the plastic tank will greatly influence the type that you should pick. Looking at a plastic tank purchased for the above two reasons, we will go through two things that one must consider before going out and buying a plastic tank. * Dealing With Algae And Excessive Heat Get a Thick, Dark Colored Tank The two biggest problems that one can face from a plastic tank bought for use as a hot water tank or a rainwater catchment are algae and excessive heating of the tank. Having algae growing in your rainwater catchment tank reduces the quality of the water that you will be taking out of it. If you make the mistake of buying a plastic tank that is translucent and light, you should not be surprised to see the algae growing at the bottom of the tank. The more sunlight they get the easier they grow. If one gets a dark colored tank, however, the tank will absorb more heat and therefore soon get damaged by the excessive expanding and contracting. The solution is to therefore get a dark plastic tank that is very thick. This may cost much more. The only other option is to limit exposure to light and heat. * Dimensions of the Plastic Tank Know the Dimensions and Your Budget This should be determined by your needs. Hot water tanks are significantly smaller than rainwater catchment tanks for residential areas. Horizontal tanks are much cheaper than vertical tanks but, on the other hand, occupy more space. You will have to know what kind of space you are dealing with and the amount of money you are prepared to give up for a plastic tank. If you are lucky, you can afford a custom made plastic tank that will be tailored to fit any shape of space you have available in your home.
