FIBERGLASS composite tanks – due to their unrivaled properties compared to steel – are the ideal choice for residential and commercial applications.
What are the advantages of a composite tank compared to a steel one?
1. The Fiberglass tank is a one-piece construction with no welded joints that could damage the diaphragm. The tank is lined with polyethylene, which meets drinking water standards and does not rust.
The surface of carbon and stainless steel tanks is painted and polished, but the inside of the tank is not treated. In a humid environment there is a risk of corrosion leading to leakage from the tank.
2. In Fiberglass tanks, water is held in direct contact with the tank walls, and air is held in a butyl rubber membrane. In Fiberglass tanks, the tank walls are lined with material
hydrophobic PE polyethylene, which does not affect water quality.
In ordinary steel tanks, water is forced into a rubber membrane, which causes the water quality to deteriorate over time due to contact with the rubber.
3. The design of the Fiberglass tank allows you to replace the membrane without dismantling the water installation, because the flange holding the membrane is located at the top
tank and has no connection with the water connection.
In steel tanks, dismantling the membrane requires intervention in the water supply system and dismantling the entire tank.
4. The advantage of Fiberglass tanks is that the tank body and tank legs are made of non-metallic materials, which can be used in corrosive environments. Fiberglass tanks require little or no maintenance
maintenance because their outer fiberglass coating, sealed with epoxy resin, does not dent or scratch.
5. Fiberglass tanks are 100% lead-free and do not introduce unwanted chemicals or elements into the water. The interior of the tank in contact with water is made of polypropylene, and the diaphragm is made of butyl rubber.
