What is the difference between an elevated storage tank and a ground storage tank?

The difference between the elevated water tank and the ground-level water tank lies mainly in the bottom structure of the water tank. The bottom of the elevated water tank produced and sold by our company is composed of a professionally designed iron tower structure. The iron tower structure is a bolted structure, which can be easily transported by sea container. After being transported to the customer's country, the customer's construction is very simple and convenient. The height of the iron tower frame can be based on customer requirements. Usually, customers purchase heights between 6 meters and 18 meters. The differences in other aspects are mainly reflected in their functions, designs, installation locations and maintenance. The following are the main differences between the two:

?

1. Function and principle

Natural pressure:

Elevated water tank: Use the natural gravity pressure generated by the height difference of the water tank to distribute water, and no additional power equipment (such as pumps) is required to increase the water pressure.

Ground water tank: Usually external pumping equipment is required to increase the water pressure in order to transport water to high or far places.

Emergency water supply:

Elevated water tank: When the main water supply system is interrupted, it can be used as a temporary water supply source to ensure basic water needs.

Ground water tanks: do not have the same emergency function unless equipped with backup pumping equipment.

2. Design and installation

Structure:

Elevated water tanks: usually installed on the top of a building or a specially built tower, and the influence of natural factors such as wind load and seismic load needs to be considered.

Ground water tanks:?installed on the ground, the structure is relatively simple, and there is no need to consider the influence of height.

Material:

Elevated water tanks: have a large capacity, ranging from hundreds of cubic meters to thousands of cubic meters to meet the water supply needs of larger areas.

Ground water tanks: The capacity depends on the specific application, which can be as small as a small water storage tank for home use or a large industrial water storage tank.

3. Maintenance and safety

Maintenance convenience:

Elevated water tanks: maintenance is relatively inconvenient because it is necessary to climb to a high place for inspection and cleaning.

Ground water tanks: maintenance is more convenient, and can be directly touched for inspection and cleaning.

Safety:

Elevated water tanks: safety standards must be strictly followed to ensure the stability of the structure and prevent falling accidents.

Ground water tank: The safety is relatively high, but because it is directly exposed to the ground, it is necessary to prevent pollution and accidental damage.

4. Cost and benefit

Construction cost:

Elevated water tank:?The construction cost is relatively high because an elevated structure needs to be built.

Ground water tank: The construction cost is relatively low, and only the cost of the water tank itself needs to be considered.

Operation cost:

Elevated water tank: The long-term operation cost is low because the need for pumping equipment is reduced.

Ground water tank:?The operation cost is high because pumping equipment is needed to increase water pressure.

5.?Application

?

Urban water supply:

Elevated water tank: Suitable for urban water supply systems, especially when a large water pressure coverage area is required.

Ground water tank:?Suitable for water supply systems in small residential areas or single buildings.

Emergency reserve:

Elevated water tank: Can be used as an emergency water source, especially when natural disasters cause water supply interruptions.

Ground water tank: Usually does not have emergency water supply functions unless there is a backup pumping system.

Elevated water tanks and ground water tanks each have their own applicable occasions and characteristics. Elevated water tanks are more suitable for situations that require a larger water pressure coverage area and emergency reserves, while ground water tanks are suitable for water supply systems in small residential areas or single buildings. Which type of water tank to choose depends on factors such as specific application requirements, cost budget and maintenance convenience.
