A building water tank, or water reservoir, typically installed for multi-story buildings along with a water pump, is used to supply water to residential or commercial buildings. It can be made from various materials. In the past, these tanks were mostly made of metal, but with technological advancements, polyethylene tanks, often referred to as plastic tanks, and galvanized tanks have become more popular. These types of tanks maintain drinking water quality better, have a longer lifespan, are algae-resistant, easy to clean, have very low maintenance costs, are portable, and can be manufactured in various high capacities. Additionally, these tanks can be made in different types such as under-stair tanks, buried tanks, etc., by ABtank. Other materials like fiberglass or composite tanks, which use glass fibers, provide high resistance to penetration and corrosion, are also available for building water tanks.
Types of Plastic Water Tanks
Building water tanks come in several types of plastic tanks:
Horizontal Tank
The first type is horizontal plastic water tanks, which are positioned on supports and have a horizontal orientation. These tanks are made of polyethylene and can hold volumes starting from 70 liters upwards. They come in two types: single-layer and triple-layer, and can hold up to 5000 liters. These horizontal tanks are commonly used for potable water in buildings and are typically installed on rooftops or underground. This type of building water tank is heavier compared to vertical tanks due to the polyethylene supports.
Vertical Tank
This type of building water tank, which is vertical, can hold up to approximately 20,000 liters and comes in two types: single-layer and triple-layer. ABtank can provide this type of tank and offer after-sales services. A vertical building water tank is a suitable choice due to its higher volume and lighter weight. However, due to high water pressure, there are height limitations for these tanks, and it is better to use horizontal tanks for larger volumes. If you prefer a vertical tank, please contact the company for more advice.
Cubic Tank
This type of tank, produced in cubic square or rectangular shapes, can be selected in various sizes according to the installation location. These tanks can hold volumes starting from 500 liters and up. If you need a larger building water tank, we can construct these tanks using high-quality multi-layer food-grade polyethylene sheets in a cubic shape for you.
Under-Stair Tank
These tanks, designed to fit under staircases, have capacities starting from 500 liters. They are reinforced inside to maintain their shape over time. This type of building water tank is designed for buildings with under-stair spaces to make use of wasted space.
Buying a Building Water Tank
If you need to purchase various types of water tanks, including building water tanks, you can contact ABtank experts to choose a tank that suits your needs. ABtank tanks are generally made from high-quality foreign or domestic materials. These tanks are usually multi-layered and custom-built for difficult-to-access places like under-stairs or very large tanks for parking lots or engine rooms. The company uses modern equipment and a professional team to handle the installation and commissioning of tanks from start to finish. The team’s experience in various regions of the country, such as Tehran, Alborz, Qom, Semnan, Hamadan, Yazd, Mashhad, Isfahan, Sistan and Baluchestan, Khuzestan, Mazandaran, Gilan, and in countries like Iraq, Afghanistan, Turkey, and Pakistan, reflects ABtank high level of expertise.
