100 litre tank

Types of 100 litre tanks

The two main types of 100 litre water tanks are the traditional round polyethylene water tanks and the modern slimline polyethylene water tanks.

• Traditional Round Polyethylene Water Tank

  A traditional round water tank is made from UV-stabilised polyethylene, ensuring the stored water is protected from the tank. Despite the protection, it is always wise to filter the water before use, especially if it has been stored for a long period. Traditional tanks come in a wide variety of colours to ensure they can fit in with their surroundings.

  Advantages of a traditional tank

  They usually have a larger capacity for the size of the tank due to their circular shape. The rounded base is also more stable when the tank is full, as the weight is evenly distributed. These tanks are often more cost-effective, as manufacturing and material costs are sometimes lower for traditional tanks.

• Slimline Polyethylene Water Tank

  A slimline tank also offers the same durability as traditional tanks, and they are manufactured from UV-stabilised polyethylene.

  Advantages of slimline tanks

  Due to their elongated shape, slimline tanks can fit perfectly in spaces where there might not be enough room for traditional tanks. Even with the space-saving abilities, the tanks are still able to collect adequate rainwater. The tanks come with a 10-year conditional warranty and are manufactured using recycled materials.

Specifications & maintenance of 100 litre tanks

Here are some specifications and maintenance tips for 100 litre tanks.

• Material

  Depending on the installation environment, users should maintain the 100 litre tank's material. For example, they should use food-grade plastic or non-toxic polypropylene when maintaining outdoor 100 litre tanks.

• Connections

  Users should regularly inspect the pipelines, valves, and joints connected to the tank to check for signs of leakage or corrosion and promptly repair or replace damaged components.

• Float valve

  Users should ensure that Float valves maintain their normal functioning so as to control water inflow. Therefore, checking if the valve is operating properly and cleaning or replacing damaged valves is essential.

• Breather valve

  The function of the breather valve is to allow the internal pressure of the tank to maintain equilibrium, which prevents excessive pressure or vacuum from occurring inside the tank.

  Users should check the breather valve and clean it so as to avoid blockage, which may lead to abnormal pressure inside the tank and cause leakage or other issues.

• Water quality

  Users should test water quality regularly to ensure that the 100-litre tank's water source meets environmental standards. If not, users need to filter or treat the water before using it.

• Odor removal

  Employers can use activated carbon or other deodorants when maintaining the 100-litre tank to remove the peculiar smell within the tank. Besides, users can improve ventilation to help the tank's odor dissipate quickly.

Scenarios of 100 litre tanks

100 litre water tanks have many applications in households, businesses, and industries.

• 100 litre overhead tank

  100 litre tanks are suitable for collecting and storing water in areas with limited space. From the elevated position, the tank supplies water to the plumbing system through gravity. It is common to find a 100 litre tank positioned above kitchens and bathrooms.

• 100 litre under surface tank

  Sub-surface 100 litre tanks act as soakaway or drainage reservoirs in soils with limited percolation. When there is a runoff, the tanks will temporarily store water and reduce surface flooding. They provide an efficient way to manage stormwater. The tanks can be made from water-permeable materials to assist in the natural drainage of water.

• 100 litre septic tank

  Septic tanks for small premises and remote locations often have a 100 litre capacity. They primarily store and treat wastewater through natural bacterial actions. Once treated, the effluent will flow to a land drain or soakaway for further treatment.

• 100 litre fuel tank

  Small commercial vehicles and machinery may use a 100 litre fuel tank. A fuel tank of this size provides a reasonable range without taking up too much space inside the vehicle.

• 100 litre hopper

  Hoppers with 100 litre capacity are suitable for holding and discharging free-flowing bulk materials like sand, grain, or fertilizer. They are common in small-scale processing or handling facilities.

• 100 litre gas tank

  100 litre gas tanks are suitable for vehicles that consume a lot of fuel, like heavy-duty trucks and construction equipment. The large tank ensures the vehicle will have the power needed for demanding work.

• 100 litre flygt pump

  Flygt pumps with 100 litre capacity can handle and transfer liquids for small construction projects, drainage operations, or dewatering tasks.

How to choose 100 litre tanks

When sourcing 100-litre tanks, there are several factors to consider to ensure they meet the intended usage requirements and customer preferences.

• Purpose and Requirements Analysis

  Sourcing buyers should first identify the intended purpose of the tank. Whether it's for storage, transportation, or specific industrial applications, understanding the purpose will guide subsequent decisions. They should also consider the liquids or substances that the tank will store or transport. Different materials, chemicals, or substances have specific compatibility requirements.

• Material Options

  100-litre tanks come in various materials, each with distinct advantages. Stainless Steel is known for its durability and resistance to corrosion. It suits high-values liquids and agricultural chemicals. Polyethylene (PE) offers cost-effective solutions for low-value liquids. Although it has UV degradation issues, it suits underground installations. Polypropylene (PP) tanks resist a broader range of chemicals than polyethylene, making them ideal for industrial applications and chemical storage. Fiberglass combines durability and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for specialized industrial applications.

• Tank Quality

  Tank buyers should consider sourcing tanks from reputable manufacturers with a proven track record. When buying 100-litre tanks for resale, sourcing buyers should request samples for evaluation before placing bulk orders. They should also seek tanks with warranties that cover manufacturing defects.

• Budget Constraints

  Though many factors influence the final decision, budget constraints will eventually push some sourcing buyers one way or another. After determining the quantity and unit cost, they should ensure the pricing aligns with their target market's expectations and pricing strategy.

• Regulatory Compliance

  Depending on the tank's intended use, there may be regulations governing tank design, construction, and labeling. Sourcing buyers should ensure the tanks comply with applicable regulations to avoid legal issues and costly compliance penalties.
