There are many ways you can make a water
tank, all depending on your usage, location and budget. In most cases
when a water tank fails, there are several options for the water tank repair,
including a tank liner or just patching the leak. Other options do
exist, but many do not fix the root cause of the problem, such as cracks
from ground movement. So when fixing a tank, make sure the fix will
also address potential problem in the future.
Concrete & Concrete BlockWater Tanks
Concrete water tanks are very thermally
stable so they naturally keep water cooler. This means there is a lower
risk of algae blooms and other bacteria forming.
Choices for repair mean either sealing the crack or installing a
tank liner. While more expensive, a tank liner will accommodate future
ground movement, while an isolated repair will not.
Steel & Corrugated Water Tanks:
Long life spans and the ability to keep
water cool make these water tanks an attractive option as well. A steel
water tank can also be considered to one of the most environmentally
friendly, in that almost 100% of the tank can be recycled at the end of
its life.
Plastic Water Tanks:
Tanks made from polyethylene are now the
most popular type of rainwater tanks in residential areas, due to the
economical pricing and lightness of materials. Tanks are also made
without any seams and will not rust or corrode. While they can also be
almost 100% recycled, the very low thermal mass means the water will
heat on hot days.
Wood and Brick Water Tanks:
Wooden water tanks are much less common
today, but they still do have their place. The iconic New York City
skyline water tanks are one example where they are the cheapest option.
Fibreglass Water Tanks:
Very stiff and rigid, fiberglass water
tanks are corrosion resistant and very water tight. They not as heavy as
a concrete water tank, making them easier to transport.
