  • ISO tanks have safety features like pressure release valves, burst discs, and protective coatings that stop corrosion and leaks.
  • Some regular tanks might not have these safety features, which can make accidents and pollution more likely.

Regulatory Compliance:

  • ISO tanks are safe to use in many countries and businesses because they follow international rules and regulations.
  • Normal tanks might not be able to follow these rules, which would limit their use and could cause legal and environmental problems.

Quality and Performance:

  • ISO tanks are made to consistently deliver high quality and performance, making sure that liquids are stored and moved safely.
  • Normal tanks can be of different quality and performance, which could cause leaks, contamination, or other problems.

Usage & Turnover: 

  • Tanks that experience a high rate of water turnover (such as being filled and emptied daily) necessitate more frequent cleaning (every 3-6 months) in order to eliminate sediment and bacteria.
  • Tanks with low water turnover, such as those used seasonally, require less regular cleaning, often every 6-12 months.

Water Quality: 

  • Tanks that contain elevated amounts of silt, bacteria, or toxins necessitate more frequent cleaning, often every 3-6 months.
  • Water tanks that contain pure water with minimum sediment and impurities require less regular cleaning, often every 12 months.

Environmental Factors: 

  • Tanks that are subjected to severe environmental conditions, such as direct sunshine and excessive temperatures, necessitate more frequent cleaning, often every 6-12 months.
  • Tanks located in protected areas with limited environmental impact can be cleaned at longer intervals, often every 12-24 months.

Visual Inspection: 

  • Routine visual examinations might assist in identifying the necessity for cleaning. When the tank is visibly dirty, contains sediment, or displays signs of contamination, it is necessary to clean it.

Recommended Cleaning Schedule: 

  • In general, it is advisable to clean water storage tanks every 6-12 months, taking into account the aforementioned variables.

It is imperative to refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines and local legislation for precise instructions on how often to clean.

The material used for the tank is crucial. Materials that are considered food-grade, like polyethylene (plastic) or fibreglass, are ideal for water storage since they are safe for consumption. Keep away from stainless steel and other reactable materials, as well as certain types of plastics that could leach chemicals into the water.

Starting with water that is fit for human consumption, or potable water, is the best way to go. If the water quality is poor from the start, it will affect how long it takes to store. Make sure the water is still safe to drink by checking its quality on a regular basis.

The best way to keep dust, debris, and germs out of the tank is to seal it tightly. The impact on water quality is enormous. Regular inspections, at least once every six months, are essential. Check for things like cracks, leaks, or signs of damage. Avoid water stagnation by agitating or circulating it regularly. Standing water is ideal for bacterial growth. Use chlorine or water purification pills to slow the growth of bacteria.Keep the tank out of direct sunlight and in a cool, dark place for best storage conditions. Water quality can be negatively affected by prolonged exposure to sunlight and extremely hot or cold conditions.

Properly maintaining a clean, sealed, and well-maintained tank is essential for safe storage, as is closely monitoring the water quality. Be very careful to follow the specific guidelines for your specific tank type and local weather conditions.

Water storage tanks have varying lifespans depending on a number of factors.

Durable materials, such as polyethylene, stainless steel, and fibreglass, offer long lifespan and robustness. Tanks with a high level of durability typically have a lifespan of twenty to thirty years, and in some cases, even longer.

Temperature fluctuations and ultraviolet light exposure are two environmental elements that might impact the longevity of an object. This can impact the durability of materials, as they can cause expansion and contraction.

Tanks can be maintained in optimal condition for extended durations through consistent cleaning, thorough inspections, and prompt repairs. Stainless steel tanks can stand exposure to the environment for almost 30 years without experiencing rust or corrosion.

Regularly cleaning your tank will prevent the accumulation of silt. Conduct a comprehensive inspection to identify any leaks and promptly address minor issues upon detection. To ensure optimal durability, it is essential to have a sturdy base and apply protective coatings.
