This type of tank is designed for storing drinking water in homes and is also suitable for firefighting water storage. Given that these tanks are predominantly used for drinking water, they are made from premium grade sanitary and food-grade materials. These tanks incorporate an internal reinforced pipe fitting system designed to match the specific geometry of each understairs location, preventing deformation and effectively distributing pressure across the tank walls. This internal structure, positioned between the two side walls of the tank, provides significant wall support and offers advantages over cubic tanks.
Importance of Building Understairs Tanks
Constructing water storage tanks under stairs can be a strategic solution, especially in spaces facing spatial constraints due to increasing population and construction. Efficient use of available space in buildings is crucial, particularly in countries where water storage and optimal water use are essential considerations.
Given that understairs spaces are often inefficiently used, intelligently installing water storage tanks under stairs can make use of otherwise wasted space. Unlike horizontal and vertical water tanks, which require considerable height and area, understairs tanks are designed to fit within the existing dimensions of stairwells in buildings. Thus, careful design and construction of these tanks, tailored to the dimensions and available space in each building, are vital and should be undertaken by specialists.
It should be noted that the design of understairs tanks often accommodates varying heights and widths to easily pass through narrow doorways, as per customer requirements. Installation of fittings is restricted to specific areas on the tank’s convex surface, typically located on the rear wall of the tank where it is taller. In environments with artificial lighting under stairs, the use of triple-layer polyethylene tanks is necessary to prevent algae growth.
Considerations for designing under stairs tanks:
- Width of the home’s door
- Width of the stairway corridor
- Height available under the stairs
- Angle of rotation of the tank under the stairs for easier installation
- There should be approximately 10 centimeters distance above the polyethylene tank for easy cleaning.
- Substructure of these tanks must be provided so that there is no elevation or drop. Elevated or lowered areas can damage the tank and cause it to puncture.
- Plumbing access under the stairs should be considered.
