THINGS TO CHECK BEFORE BUYING WATER STORAGE TANK
Water is a vital element for survival and having a source or storage of water is essential and can save you money on the long run. Even if you drill a borehole or use public tap in your compound, it would still be wise to have these plastic tanks installed in your house or place of work.
If you are living in a three bed room flat, I often advise that you go for a capacity of 2000 litres water storage tank as it is economical and large to fulfill all your water needs at home. While there are different brands, types and sizes of water storage tanks available in the market today, the two best trusted brands are “GEEPEE and STOREX tanks”.
Before you make a purchase, consider the following also:
- Material Used
While most people opt for water storage tanks made from hard steel, it is still best to go for the plastic options due to its cost factor and longevity. The steel tanks have the ability to rust on the long run and poses a health risk (cancer) when one drinks it or uses it to cook or bathe.
Another reason while we prefer the storage tanks manufactured with plastic material is the ease of maintenance. After six months, it is hygienic to wash and keep it clean for future use.
- Where to place tank
Whatever size or capacity of tank you choose to purchase, you should also have in mind the place or spot where you would keep the tank in your house or office. You could decide to install it on top of your building or just build a stand separately from your house where it would be mounted.
If you are confused, seek professional advice on how you should go about this, especially if you go for the very large tank size.
- Brand of tank to use
Brand matters when purchasing any item. There are some reliable brands of plastic water storage tanks in Nigeria that are popular and chief of them are GEEPEE water tanks and STOREX tanks. While other brands are okay to use, these two have distinguished themselves as the best there is in the country today.
- Number of users
Of course, the number of users in a building is another deciding factor on the size and capacity of tank to be used. If you have 10 people living in a house, a capacity of 1500 liter could be used. If its a village, a larger 15,000 liter water tank should be enough for the community.
Normally, rented buildings such as three to four storey buildings having numerous inhabitants could go for 5000 litres or 2500 ltr depending on the choice of landlord on the capacity of the water storage tank that should be mounted.
Where You Can Buy Water Storage Tanks in Nigeria
You can buy plastic water storage tanks either from the manufacturers themselves or even through retail distributors across the country. While there are many shops who sell, you must be very careful not to run into fraudulent sellers or buy fake tanks that would leak or crack easily.
