CHOOSING THE RIGHT WATER TANK FOR YOUR PROJECT
choosing the right TANK for the purpose
A water tank plays a crucial role in water storage for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Whether you need a tank for rainwater harvesting, fire protection, or potable water storage, choosing the right one is essential.
TYPES OF CWST
ONE PIECE CWST
One-piece water tanks are pre-moulded and ready for installation. They are ideal for smaller applications and are available in various sizes to suit different needs. These tanks offer durability and ease of maintenance.
SECTIONAL CWST
For larger storage requirements, sectional tanks are a great solution. These tanks are made from modular panels, allowing for easy transportation and assembly on-site. They are commonly used in commercial and industrial settings.
FIRE SPRINKLER WATER TANKS
Essential for fire safety, fire sprinkler tanks store water specifically for fire suppression systems. These tanks are designed to meet strict industry standards and are often required in buildings to ensure fire protection compliance.
COMBINED TANK & WATER STATIONS
These systems integrate both water storage and a pumping station into one unit, providing an efficient and compact solution for water distribution in commercial and industrial buildings.

FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING A WATER TANK
- Water Usage: Determine daily and monthly water requirements for all purposes, including drinking, bathing, irrigation, and other uses.
- Location & Space: Assess the available space for tank installation, considering factors like roof capacity for residential settings.
- Quality & Regulations: Ensure the tank meets quality standards and regulations, such as ISI certification in some regions.
- Capacity: Calculate the required tank size based on water usage and refill frequency.
- Climate Considerations: In areas with extreme weather, consider insulation to prevent freezing or overheating.
- Cost & Budget: Factor in not only the tank price but also installation, plumbing, and additional features.
- Warranty & Maintenance: Research the manufacturer’s warranty and maintenance requirements.
