Tanks and heaters are placed high for two main reasons. The first is to ensure stable water pressure even in the event of a short duration outtage. The second is that attic temperatures are usually fairly warm, this means less power or gas must be used to heat the water before use.

How does a water tank ball float valve regulate the water level in a tank?

A water tank ball float valve regulates the water level in a tank by using a floating ball attached to a lever. When the water level rises, the ball floats up and triggers the valve to close, stopping the flow of water into the tank. When the water level drops, the ball sinks and the valve opens, allowing more water to enter the tank. This mechanism helps maintain a consistent water level in the tank.


What are the forces acting on water tank?

The main forces acting on a water tank are gravity, buoyancy, and the pressure of the water inside the tank. Gravity pulls the water downward, creating pressure at the bottom of the tank. Buoyancy pushes upward on the tank walls, counteracting the force of gravity.


Pressure in a pipe draining an elevated water tank depends on the height of the tank but does it also depend on how full the tank is?

Yes, the pressure in a pipe draining an elevated water tank depends on both the height of the tank and the level of water in the tank. The pressure is directly related to the height difference between the water level and the point of discharge, and it decreases as the water level in the tank drops.


What are the benefits of using a float ball valve in a water tank system?

A float ball valve in a water tank system helps regulate water levels, prevents overflow, and ensures consistent water supply. It also helps maintain water pressure and can save water by stopping the flow when the tank is full.


How does a ball float valve work in a water tank system?

A ball float valve in a water tank system works by using a floating ball attached to a lever arm. When the water level in the tank rises, the ball floats up and pushes the lever arm, which then closes the valve to stop the water flow. When the water level drops, the ball sinks, allowing the valve to open and refill the tank. This mechanism helps maintain a consistent water level in the tank.

Water was frozen and you had to fill tank in the attic with water when you filled the container with water and put it in the attic you did not realize that there was kerosene in the container?

Kerro stinks! How did you miss/ignore the smell of Kerro? Maybe you need to see an Ear, nose and throat specialist and get your nose (sense of smell) fixed. You will have to clean the tank out and do it really well with hot water and detergents etc. Then after a proper rinsing to remove all trace of the detergent it may be fit for use.
