How long can a water storage tank last?

A water tank is an investment for the long term. Ideally, you should just buy one. However, as with any other purchase, you’ll want to know how long a water tank will last…

Purchasing a water storage tank for a home or business is a long-term investment. However, as with any serious endeavor, installing a dependable tank necessitates a substantial investment.

While there is no definitive answer to this question, understanding the various factors that influence the longevity of a water tank will help you decide which type best suits your needs and preferences…

Materials

The majority of water tanks are made of either plastic or metal. Plastic tanks are significantly less expensive than metal tanks…

You don’t want a tank that will only last one to five years, so avoid water storage tanks made of plastic barrels…

A polyethylene water storage tank is an excellent choice because it is made of UV-treated, food-grade, non-biodegradable plastic…

 

 

Location

Another factor that influences life expectancy is the location of your water tank.

The geophysical characteristics of the location where you’ll install the unit also influence the water tank’s life expectancy.

 

Usage

Water tanks can be used for a variety of purposes. However, the general rule of thumb is that tanks last longer when filled with clean, pure water.

If you take good care of your water tanks, they will last much longer.

A tank’s service life is also determined by how it is used. A unit containing clean and fresh water for human consumption will typically have a much longer lifespan than a unit containing harsh chemicals or salt.

It is strongly advised to use a food-grade tank liner when storing potable water in a stainless steel tank.
