To prolong the life of your water tank, you should place it in accordance with all instructions for use (most importantly, it should be placed on a flat concrete floor) and use it. However, despite following all the necessary rules, intentional interventions from outside (knife penetration, bullet spraying, etc.) or unwanted accidents may occur (vehicle or construction machinery such as forklifts, sudden pressurization or vacuuming in booster failures, etc.). In such cases, you should first consult the relevant place where you purchased the tank. You need to photograph and send the damaged tank images from far and close up. While it is possible to repair some tanks according to the breakage point, it is not possible for others. If your water tank is polyethylene, it can be repaired with polyethylene raw material, wick and dry hot air polyethylene welding machine and thermal welding by a specialized personnel. Polyethylene tanks cannot be glued or welded with any adhesive or tape. Other methods will only be temporary and short-term.
Warehouse Installation and Installation
The number one cause of tank failures is incorrect installation. The most important factor in tank placement is the ground. The life of your tank is directly proportional to the ground beneath it. Care should be taken to ensure that the tank outlet connections are made correctly and that the lower pipe system is installed in a way to be supported. Having flexible connections that prevent the tank from cracking at the outlet allows you to maximize the service life of your tank. Performing these installation applications by experts ensures that there are no additional fittings that can put any pressure on the tank. Damages caused by installation fittings and workmanship will cause your tank to be out of the 2-year limited warranty terms.
The outlet on your tank is loose and reverse threaded. So when you turn the necklace of the part you see outside, the inside rotates in the same direction. To prevent this, you need to fix it inside the outlet part of the tank with a hand tool such as a piece of iron or a piece of wood that will fix the teeth inside the hole, such as the back of the frog key. After this fixing, if you want to tighten the necklace, turn the necklace in the right direction, if you want to loosen and open it, turn the necklace in the left direction with the help of a wrench or hand. When installing your ball valve, please make sure that you do not loosen your outlet fitting. When tightening the tank outlet connection, make sure that the gasket does not get stuck between the outlet cavity. After tightening the outlet of your tank, make sure that you do not loosen the outlet back when installing the valve. If you do not pay attention to these situations and do not read the operating instructions on the tank, your tank may leak water or diesel oil.
Flexible Connection
Inlets and outlets on the tank should have a flexible connection between the tank and the installation piping system. This is important to absorb the pressurized movement and weight stress of the water, isolate pump vibration and minimize surge pressures. It is the customer’s responsibility to install suitable flexible connections between the tank and the water system. This is very important because our 2-year limited warranty is only valid if the installation has suitable flexible connections.
Which Color Options Are There When Buying a Water Tank?
This choice is entirely related to customer demand and budget.
Black color polyethylene water tanks do not absorb outdoor light. Since it contains carbon black pigments, it resists UV attack for longer. However, the same features are not seen in recycling (old broken tanks or recycled with heat, i.e. black color tanks produced with cheap raw materials with shortened life span) In addition, it overheats due to the fact that it attracts the sun too much. For this reason, it is generally not preferred especially in open areas.
White color polyethylene water tank consists of a single layer and because it is a natural raw material, it absorbs the sun’s rays, so it is generally preferred indoors.
Blue color polyethylene water tank consists of a single layer. These tanks, which refract the sun’s rays to a great extent and prevent mossing to some extent, are preferred indoors and outdoors.
Gray color polyethylene water tank is a special production and is produced depending on certain quantities. General features are like the blue tank. Except for gray color, personal / company-specific productions in all other colors are evaluated depending on the quantity.
Our double-layer polyethylene water tanks, usually produced in the form of white inside and blue outside or blue inside and white outside, enter the oven twice and bake. While a more durable product is obtained, it also becomes a warehouse that does not absorb the sun’s rays to a significant extent and odor and algae growth does not occur.
Three-layer polyethylene water tanks are generally produced as white inside, gray in the middle and blue outside or white inside, gray in the middle and white outside. However, if the desired quantities are met, support is provided for special color requests.
Four-layer polyethylene water tanks, layer colors are determined by customers and special pricing is made according to demand.
Can Polyethylene Tanks Be Painted?
It is not recommended to paint polyethylene tanks. Because the paint you will paint will not adhere permanently to the tank. When you paint polyethylene, it remains without sticking to the surface. Painting of tanks is only possible by a professional team as it involves imported special primer and then a few special application details.
Do Oxidizing Corrosive Substances Damage the Water Tank?
Oxidizing agents cause problems in recycling plastic tanks. It is an oxidizing agent known as chlorine (Sodium Hypochlorite). It has variable effects depending on its concentration, temperature and pressure, but chlorine and polyethylene are attacked by chemical bonding and affect the tank’s operating performance. Typically, the operating environment will vary with each installation. Oxidizing agents will affect the long-term performance of a tank. It is therefore very difficult for Santas to verify that a particular tank is suitable for the use of chlorine or any chemical to be stored in it unless the conditions are clearly defined.
In relation to polyethylene chemical storage tanks, chemical resistance encompasses the total effect it will have on a tank. The factors that make up the overall compatibility of a chemical with a rotation tank can be summarized as (1) chemical content, (2) density and concentration ratio (3) temperature.
These factors can render a tank unserviceable. In general, polyethylene is the best form of plastics available. Few chemicals react with polyethylene, and even if they do, corrosion is relatively slow compared to others. Therefore, increasing the tank kilograms and increasing the wall thickness will be beneficial for long-lasting use. For more information, please get support from Santaş water tanks representative.
Because chemical tanks are tanks that need to be treated sensitively. For example, when you suddenly mix sulfuric acid with water (exothermic reaction), a reaction occurs that gives off heat. To prevent this, it is very important to get accurate information from the place where you buy the chemical. This will ensure that your tank can be used for many more years. In addition, in a polyethylene tank that you buy to store a chemical substance, place it in accordance with Occupational Health and Safety standards. In the applications made, a protective set wall should be built to prevent injuries to workers in case of an accident such as an explosion. In cases where a fixed concrete wall application cannot be made, for example, you purchased a 10-ton chemical tank, you can cut the top of a 15-ton polyethylene tank and consider this tank as a shield and place the 10-ton tank inside.
