Question 1

What are the effects of polyethylene tanks on the stored water in it?

Accepted Answer

Plastic water storage tanks are widely available in local markets produced by water tank manufacturers in the UAE and are used throughout the country for the storage of drinking water and food. In the last 15 years, the annual output of these water storage tanks has more than doubled. These plastic water tanks are favored over many other options because they are inexpensive, made of a stronger material, light-weight, and simple to maneuver.

However, there is a lack of understanding and knowledge about the toxicity of plastic and synthetic chemicals used in these tanks, which has posed serious concerns.

These plastic tanks have more disadvantages than benefits, despite claims by producers for their safety. Plastic water tanks can only be considered a suitable alternative to ceramic or cement water tanks if they are heat and UV ray resistant and made of non-toxic materials that do not affect the odour and taste of the water.

The water plastic tanks are made of Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP), Bisphenol, High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), and Polyethylene cross-linked (PEX) or Thermoplastic Polymer, which are highly recognized for end-users in terms of their health. If these tanks have been used for a long time and have been cleaned with detergents, the chemicals begin to mix with the water. When exposed to UV, high temperatures, or natural collapse, leaching occurs. Chemicals begin to melt and mix with water when the temperature of these plastic cisterns rises above 40°C, particularly during the hot summer months.

Dissolved chemicals have many effects on the human body if they are ingested by people through drinking water. Bisphenol A is known to cause cancer, asthma, heart problems, and women's reproductive system irregularities, for example, and has a severe effect on the endocrine system. In infants and children, these issues are more prevalent than in adults. Because of these challenges, developed countries have prohibited the use of drinking water plastic tanks.

Question 2

How good are Polyethylene Water Tanks?

Accepted Answer

Plastic water tanks, made of UV-stabilized, food-grade polyethylene, are becoming increasingly common for storing rainwater and potable water. Since they comply with WRAS and food safety permits, they are suitable for storing potable drinking water. This plastic water produced by water tank manufacturers in UAE tanks comes in a number of sizes, ranging from 50 liters to 30000 liters.

Polyethene is a tried-and-tested plastic that will not break down because it is UV-stabilized to be used internally or externally. Polycom water tanks in UAE are guaranteed to have additional tranquillity for 10 years. WRAS stands for Water Regulations Authority Scheme, and it is the industry-testing house for tainting and suitability testing of water tanks and fittings.

Our high-density polyethylene drinking water tanks are built and manufactured to store foodstuffs, drinking water, and rainwater or wastewater. They are made of nontoxic linear polyethylene and are manufactured in accordance with current regulations and directives.

Excellent impact strength, resistance to toxic agents, temperature fluctuations, adverse weather conditions, and UV rays are all ensured by the rotational moulding process and the use of unique high-density linear polyethylene. Since these tanks are not translucent, the contained liquid is not exposed to sunlight, limiting the growth of algae.

They are very rugged, compact, and easy to handle, and they are made with superior, computerized techniques, ensuring that our tanks meet the highest standards. Polycom water tanks in UAE are free of any critical points, ensuring premium consistency at very affordable rates, thanks to their monolithic construction and homogeneous wall thickness.

Question 3

Are polyethylene water tanks safe?

Accepted Answer

The shortage of pure drinking water is very common, especially in developed countries. For our daily requirements, we need water for nearly 24 hours. Now, as a lightweight and leak-proof water tank, the plastic water tank is best suited for water storage. They are available in both circular and cubic forms. The Polycom water tank in UAE consists of polyethylene of high density. These tanks are leak-resistant, rust-resistant, maintenance-free, durable, and economic.

Water quality in water tanks is of enormous importance. The use of poor plastic can have a significant impact on the chemical composition of water. The taste of 'plastic' may even become unnoticed for a little time, but after some time, it can be stored in water. Also, when the sun reflects excessively on the water tank sides, it causes the algae to grow by the light that passes through. You can't use water from them when algae are grown in your plastic water storage tanks. Therefore, a water tank with food-grade material is recommended.

The food-grade plastic water tank guarantees that water is of good quality. However, food-grade plastics are used by all water tank manufacturers in UAE. The manufacturing process also ensures that each layer has a consistent cross-section and thickness. Both these layers contribute to the pure, stable, and balanced quality of water.

Therefore, yes is the answer! You can only use the plastic water tank if there are no growing algae and they are NSF approved. Water must be healthy and safe because it is the fundamental necessity of life. So you should make a quality check before you purchase any water storage tank to ensure your life and family is secure.

Question 4

What is the best material for a water tank?

Accepted Answer

Plastic tanks are mainly preferred to be used in residential units and homes according to consensus and investigated research. Due to its eco-friendliness, easy-to-use/installation process, it's almost cheap. If you take quality by cost into account, it's quite the best. The sizes and sites of your required Polycom water tank in UAE should be determined at this point in order to decide the best material for your tank.

For instance, in all coastal areas, a rainwater tank must be resistant to spray in saltwater and is the most destructive of all structures. All tank materials are ideal for coastal zones if built and maintained properly, but if your system is likely to receive the occasional spray of saltwater, there are some precautions you should take. Keep debris away from galvanized tanks, for example, as it can hold saltwater against the galvanizing, causing accelerated corrosion. Saltwater has no impact on plastic and fiberglass tanks.

Therefore, plastic is the most appropriate material for a water tank.

Question 5

Does the tank come with accessories and fittings?

Accepted Answer

You can save money on a water storage tank by ensuring that all of the required fittings and accessories are included with your purchase. If you're plumbing a water storage tank into your building, this is particularly necessary.

An outlet fitting and ball valve, as well as a tank inlet strainer and overflow fitting, are typically included by tank manufacturers. A hose watering tap valve, rain heads, first flush water diverters, strainer covers/light guards, mosquito-proof outlet screens, and tank gauges are only a few examples of other tank accessories.

From one water tank manufacturer in UAE to the next, the default tank inlet, overflow, and outlet fittings will differ in size. Tank inlets are usually 400mm in diameter, tank overflow pipes are 90mm in diameter (upgradable to 100mm), and outlet valve fittings are 1′′ in diameter (25mm). These measurements are ideal for most residential and domestic applications.
