Saving Water In The House
In the average household, the primary water usage areas are the garden and the bathroom, followed by the kitchen. By making a few small adjustments to your habits in these areas you can significantly reduce the volume of water you use – and the volume of water you are able to reuse and recycle.
There are permanent adjustments you can make – such as installing water efficient devices, rain water tanks and greywater harvesting systems – as well as small acts you can do every day to reduce your consumption, like simply placing a mulch on your flowerbeds. These posters provide multiple ways, both big and small, for individuals to save water every day.
Saving Water Outside The Home:
Outside of the household, certain industries and companies are very water-intensive while others make every effort to conserve water and operate in a way that is mindful of the environment.
Becoming aware of the types of companies and industries you support is another effective way of reducing your virtual water footprint. Virtual water is defined as the amount of water that is embedded in food or other products needed for its production. Every time you visit the store is a new opportunity to vote with your dollars.
This series of posters addresses various ways to reduce your virtual water footprint and save water in a way that extends beyond just the home or office.
Our hope is that these posters educate and inspire people to save more water. By providing so many water saving tips we hope that individuals will learn new ways in which they can reduce water consumption and get more use out of the water they use.
By turning these tips into downloadable and printable posters we hope that they will reach as many people as possible. These posters are free to be shared and referenced and individuals are encouraged to do so in order to raise awareness.

5 REASONS TO RELINE A WATER TANK
Water tanks come in various shapes, sizes and conditions. Sometimes upon first inspection, one might think the water tank is unsalvageable and needs replacing entirely. However, the size, shape and condition does not affect whether or not it can be re-lined. At Tank Reline we prepare the water tanks using a specialist grit blasting technique to ensure the surface achieves the correct profile to be re-lined (preparation is essential for a success tank reline). We use a special, unique product called Tank Reline 165 DWPU which has been exclusively designed for Tank Reline’s sole use. Tank Reline 165 DWPU is a high-build, fully tested and approved solvent-free polyurethane coating and provides enormous amounts of benefits when relining water tanks.
Here are Tank Reline’s top 5 reasons to reline a water tank.
1. Guarantee
When Tank Reline takes on a job to re-line a water tank, the work is guaranteed, therefore in the unlikely event the tank needs follow-up care, Tank Reline would be on hand. The majority of manufacturers of new water tanks can only offer a 12-month guarantee. Tank Reline is unaware at this time of any manufactures/installers that offer longer than 12 months warranty for new water tanks. Once the 12 months has passed, the client is left to manage any after-care themselves (ultimately the system is not covered under any warranty and the client is left with the problem).
2. Save Money
Replacing a water tank in its entirety can be a demanding job, which comes with huge expense. Opting to reline instead of replacing will save you money and provide you with a guarantee.
3. Save Time
A complete replacement tank is a very big job, and one that should not be undertaken lightly. By opting to reline the water tank instead of replacing you keep disruption to your business to an absolute minimum and you can expect the work to be completed in a much quicker turnaround.
4. Water safety
When Tank Reline undertake a re-line, a full on-site assessment will be completed using the latest technology on a PDA based system which is instantly reported back to our project team achieving a prompt response. This is because we want to ensure we have advised you on the best and most appropriate course of action. We also offer a range of services which run hand in hand with relining a tank. For example, Tank Reline offers a clean and disinfection/chlorination service upon completion of a reline which means the tanks are cleaned in accordance with the latest health and safety guidelines, giving our clients additional peace of mind and results in our client not needing to return to site to commission the system themselves. This is one thing most of our competitors do NOT offer (so please be aware of this when reviewing quotation proposals). Let us do all this for you, leaving you with your other water treatment services for your client instead.
5. Protect against corrosion
Unfortunately, the way in which potable steel water tanks are designed they can be susceptible to general wear and tear and corrosion. Although this is inevitable during the life cycle of a water tank, the exclusive coating Tank Reline use when relining tanks fights against this corrosion because of its high-build solvent free ingredients.

Right Water Tanks is one of the most essential and important product for every structure that’s being built today. Mainly used for storage purpose, these Water Tanks have a capacity to store water to about 25000 Litres. Water is used for many purposes and therefore choosing the right Water Tank for all these applications becomes very critical. Based on the applications and usage the right capacity of the tank should be determined.
There are certain factors to keep in mind while selecting an Overhead Water Tank:
There are certain factors to keep in mind while selecting an Overhead Water Tank:
- The kind of material of the Overhead Water Tank becomes important. If the usage is more then choosing a bigger capacity tank made up of concrete will be able to sustain the weight. But if its for a domestic purpose like an individual home then a plastic tank would suffice the requirement.
- The number of people residing in the building is inversely proportion to the capacity of the tank. If there are a small community of people then a small tank with minimum capacity would be enough. But if its a commercial building then one would want to have a larger capacity to avoid running out of water.
- Water Tanks made of concrete would require a sealant to avoid leakages. On the other hand a plastic tank will not require any such sealants as it is full covered.
- Choosing the tank color can affect the water stored in the tank. Water tanks are often colored in Black. Black blocks the penetration of sunlight in to the tank which decreases the growth of algae.
- Dxb Solutions are one of the leading supplier of sangwon grp tanks provide tanks of various layers and capacities. A triple layer water tank can block the algae formation inside the tank. Dark colors heats the water inside whereas a light colored tank can keep the water cool and at room temperature.

Taking the time to prepare a proper base for your water storage tank is critical. In this article, you will learn the popular base types and which to choose for your application.
Types of Water Tank Bases:
6 Helpful Tips to Consider:
For more info contact GRP Panel Water Tank or for sangwon grp tanks call us at +971 4 252 2966
Types of Water Tank Bases:
- Sand: Sand is cheap but it has its challenges. If not supported correctly, it can run away very quickly during a storm or heavy rain.
- Pea Gravel: A solid option. Comes at a reasonable price and holds it shape a lot better than sand. Pea gravel also needs to be supported so it doesn't degrade over time. This option filters water a lot better than sand. I highly recommend this.
- Concrete: Is more expensive but will last the longest if constructed correctly. Looks neat and tidy. You may need to install drains depending on which way the water flows or how close it is to your house.
- Dirt/Clay: This is similar to using sand. If not supported correctly, it can run away very quickly during a storm or heavy rain.
6 Helpful Tips to Consider:
- If using concrete, remove rocks from the surface - Small and large rocks can puncture the bottom of any poly water storage tank. With water in the tank, this can create a lot of pressure on the base of the tank.
- Never use two bases for a single water tank - I have seen bad examples of this when customers have installed there tank half on concrete and half on dirt. The problem with this is when it rains, the dirt can wash away. This puts extra pressure on the base of the tank and can create cracks and splits.
- If using sand or dirt, make sure it is supported - Heavy rains can quickly wash away sand or dirt from under your tank. Ensure that there is good drainage around the tank and that the sand or dirt is supported with something like concrete, rocks or timber.
- Use rebar or mesh when pouring a concrete base - This will ensure the concrete is strong and will not break down over time. If you are unsure where to get this from or how to install it, speak to a concreting professional.
- When using sand, dirt or pea gravel, ensure the surface is compacted - A compacted surface will mean a level and an even surface. This will prevent any unneeded pressure being put on certain parts of the tank base.
- The base should always be level - As stated above, a level base is very important as it will keep the pressure even across the entire base of the water tank.

Cleaning the GRP tank can be a challenging task, but it is worth the effort. In this article, I want to explain to you how to clean grp tanks. What is the point of having a storage tank if not to have clean water? I mean, if you are going to neglect and keep it unclean, it is more or less like leaving the water in open storage where all sorts of germs and particles can just dive in.
Leaving it unclean for a long time will only attract the growth of algae and other unpleasant fungi. What’s more? If the water is left to stay for long, it gets a bad odor and even tastes unpleasant. The algae could also produce silt and bacteria which could be toxic.
It is up to you to ensure that the tank is cleaned at least once or twice annually.
Dewater the tank
You have to drain all the water first by opening a tap outlet to let the water out. You can also use hosepipes so you can direct the water to a safe area without causing erosion. Use a sanction machine or dry vacuum cleaner to dry the tank completely.
Mix the cleaning products
Make a cleaning mixture by adding some mild and laundry detergent in hot water. This is helpful in sediments removal and getting rid of the residues from the tank.
Cleaning the walls
Start by scrubbing the walls of the tank thoroughly using the cleaning mixture and a bristle brush. Do it around all the walls applying more pressure as you move your hands horizontally and getting rid of all the sticky dirt.
Clean the inside of the tank
Scrub the inside of the tanks thoroughly to get rid of the sediments and scum. You, however, must ensure that you have the best resin for best results and not only that, make sure that you have prepared the tank well for cleaning. Fill your power washer with the cleaning mixture (the one you made from water and detergent). If you realize that the solution is getting harder with time, add acetone to dissolve
Hold the washer in the best position and distance that will work for you in removing all the dirt and sediments. Repeat the procedure until you are satisfied with the results. Note that you should be wearing protective gear such as gloves and glasses throughout the process.
Rinsing dirt from the tank
Now that you have already scrubbed off the sediments from the floor and wall of the tank, it is time to rinse the tank with purely clean water. You can use hose and pipes for this. The other option is filling the tank with hot water, wait for it to stand for some time before draining it and repeat the process until all the sediment and detergent is swept off.
Drying the tank
It is time to get rid of any water residues, and the best way to go about it is using a vacuum to dry it off until there are no traces of dirty water.
There, you have a clean water tank, and you can now refill it with fresh water.

Stainless steel water tank Cleaning can be a daunting job, but it is actually important to ensure that water inside the tank stays clean always and it is bacteria-free. It is important to clean the water tank at least once every year.
This is because water tanks normally acquire silt, algae and bacteria over time and this can be harmful. As you clean your stainless steel water tank, ensure that you follow proper procedures for draining the tank, cleaning the interior part and then disinfecting your tank.
Clean mixture
Start by opening the outlet tap to empty all water from it. Connect the hose and pipes to the open tap to direct water into a location where it wont cause any erosion.
Scoop all water in the bottom of the stainless steel water tank using a bucket. This is the water that normally remains after draining it. Ensure that you remove all the water remaining by either using a wet or dry vacuum to drain or suck water remains.
Opening the outlet tap to empty all water
Make the cleaning mixture to help in removing a lot of sediment and residue from the tank. The cleaning mixture makes work easier. To make the mixture simply mix the hot water with the laundry detergent powder and mild detergents.
Scrub the inside walls of the tank using a bristle brush with the cleaning solution. Move the arm horizontally all sides as you apply a lot of pressure on the brush. Do this around the entire walls of the tank. Scrub off any grease or residue. Do this until you remove as much sludge and slime as possible.
Clean the inside of the tank
Use the power washer to properly clean the inside of the tank. Scrub the inside on the tank to again remove the tough sediment and residue. Follow the following steps when cleaning using the power washer;
Preparing the tank all the time is actually expensive and time consuming. Therefore it is important to ensure that you get the best resin compound from the market so that you wont be preparing your tank all the time.
Use a garden sprayer to spray the leaking part on the inside. Take the resin compound and ensure that it is well packed. Resin compound is gluey and combustible. It works perfectly for stainless steel materials.
Mix the compound with a Ketone solution. However, in most cases, the two are purchased mixed already. After some time, the solution may start hardening. This is solved by adding a small amount of acetone.
Fill the power washer with the cleaning solution
Hold it to find the best distance which works best to remove dirt, debris and sediment
Do this continuous until you are satisfied that everything that makes the tank dirt has been completely removed
Ensure that you always wear safety goggles when cleaning using the pressure washers. This is because they are very powerful
You can also use a wooden spatula to rub the residue from the bottom of the tank
Remove sediments and dirt
For those sediments and dirt that have trouble in getting them off, you can use baking soda to remove it. Sprinkle the inside walls of the tank with the baking soda and ensure you scrub them with brush.
Scrub all the corners and joints of your stainless steel tank. As you scrub ensure that you pay a lot of attention to joints and corners because these are places where residue stuck mostly. It may be difficult to clean in this places but spend extra time to clean them.
Remove the remaining liquid
The moment you are satisfied that you have scrubbed well and removed most or all of the residue from the inside of your steel tank. Rinse the tank thoroughly. Use the hose and pipes in spraying down the walls to rinse it.
You can also rinse the tank by filling hot water and allowing the tank to stand for some hours. You can then drain it. Ensure that you collect and safely dispose all the drained water. Do the process again until water is completely free from detergent and sediment.
Remove the remaining liquid and any residue using the vacuum. Vacuum the tank by attaching the wet or dry vacuum to vacuum it out. Ensure that you get the hose into cracks corners and crevices of your tank to remove all the residue.
Flush the hoses and pipes of the tank by pouring some cleaning solution into them. Use the water pump to pump the solution through the tank. Remove any dirt and sediment inside. Repeat the same process again using hot water.
Chlorine bleach to the tank
After scrubbing the inside walls and bottom of your tank, you can then perform the disinfecting process. Start by filling your tank almost three quarters with clean water. Add some chlorine bleach to the tank using a ratio of 50 ppm to the amount of water. Use the following guidelines
250 gallon tank-4 cups of bleach
500 gallon tank-1/2 gallon of bleach
750 gallon tank-3/4 gallon of bleach
1000 gallon tank-1 gallon of bleach
After adding the right amount of bleach , fill the rest of the tank with another clean water. This will enable the bleach to mix well with the rest of water in the tank. Leave the solution inside the tank for about 24 hours.
Ensure that nobody comes near the solution because it can be harmful. Use chlorine strips in checking the amount of chlorine periodically and drain the tank completely.

A leaking water tank can indicate of several problems ranges from failure in installation to not strong foundation on the base of the GRP water tank where it stands. On the other hand, water pooling from your tank will not always indicate a leak, sometimes it can possibly be a result of condensation.
In order to get better grp water tank maintenance, we look for some causes of tank leaking. One of the most common causes of tank leaking is the age. It is a big consideration to know if how old is your tank now. No matter how good in quality your GRP water tank is, but you have been using it for quite long, then maybe some part of it has come to its failing stage.
Obviously, GRP Panel tank leakage prevent you from continuing on using it. However, to help you avoid the cost of buying a new tank, it would be better if you find where the leaking started to further assess what to do next.
In most cases, leaking from your water tank will come from the inside. Since GRP panels are already waterproofed, you may find another observation whether a crack is present of the leak comes from panel joints.
If the cause of the leak is a crack, using the proper sealant is the appropriate thing to do. However, if you can’t find the source of the leak or if you tried to seal it but did not worked, then don't panic as there's still a solution for that.

In some cases, it is quite easy to determine by our team if the signs of leaks are shown on the tanks divisions wall. If this is the case, there's a bigger possibility that the foundations and the base of the tank are not correctly done with respect to the tank capacity.
Even if how rigid and good quality the tank is but if the base foundation is not technically considered then tank leakage will really be expected inevitably as time will pass by.
On the other hand, there are some other factors to look out for GRP panel tank leak causes:
●Fully relined, being refilled
●Get coat's black mould and blisters
●Base leak or any part of the GRP tank construction

Empty your tank completely
Once your tank is completely empty, you can now proceed locating the leak. It might be confusing for some as they prefer to have the tank filled to locate the leak. But emptying your tank means you already have the initial observation as to which part of the tank has leaks. Emptying it will simply mean checking the leaking part on a clearer view.
Repair it using conventional techniques
This is applicable if the GRP tank leakage is only caused by a small crack. This technique is in relation to general repair of crack in a fiberglass material.
a.At each end of the crack, you must drill a tiny hole. Doing this will stop the crack from expanding further.
b.Identify the crack size. With hairline cracks, Hand held or electric rotary blade is recommended to use to widen the crack just a bit. By doing this will allow the crack to possibly be filled with epoxy resin.
c.Using a dry rag, wipe the crack to make sure it's clean and dry. If the crack is not dry and clean enough, the epoxy won't adhere well.
d.With fair amount of fiberglass epoxy resin, fill the crack using a plastic applicator. You have to make sure that the crack is completely filled.
e.Within 24 hours, let the epoxy dry. Once the fixed area is dry, smooth the surface with sandpaper.
f.For additional appearance consideration, you may want to polish a colored gel-coat enamel over the repaired area to make the repair unnoticeable.

What is all about tank deformations?
In some cases, while acquiring a new GRP water tank from us, in terms to leakage, you cannot expect leaks after being filled with water. What will occur might be deformation but not more than 10 mm as it could just be a reaction once the water is inside the tank.
This deformation is no more than 1.0% of the bottom center height of the tank. Thus, there’s nothing to worry once you observe it happened. However, if deformation exceeded on this limit, then something might be wrong in the pressure of water that’s coming to your tank or during the installation.
You might be fixing it by yourself or letting our team of experts fix your leaking water tank, with assurance, our workmanship and methods of application as advised above on how to fix a leaking GRP water tank is highly recommended for you.

In order to get better grp water tank maintenance, we look for some causes of tank leaking. One of the most common causes of tank leaking is the age. It is a big consideration to know if how old is your tank now. No matter how good in quality your GRP water tank is, but you have been using it for quite long, then maybe some part of it has come to its failing stage.
Obviously, GRP Panel tank leakage prevent you from continuing on using it. However, to help you avoid the cost of buying a new tank, it would be better if you find where the leaking started to further assess what to do next.
In most cases, leaking from your water tank will come from the inside. Since GRP panels are already waterproofed, you may find another observation whether a crack is present of the leak comes from panel joints.
If the cause of the leak is a crack, using the proper sealant is the appropriate thing to do. However, if you can’t find the source of the leak or if you tried to seal it but did not worked, then don't panic as there's still a solution for that.

Even if how rigid and good quality the tank is but if the base foundation is not technically considered then tank leakage will really be expected inevitably as time will pass by.
On the other hand, there are some other factors to look out for GRP panel tank leak causes:
●Fully relined, being refilled
●Get coat's black mould and blisters
●Base leak or any part of the GRP tank construction
Do it yourself
Do it yourself the right wayUnless you have enough valid reason not to use our team of experts to fix your leaking GRP water tank, you can proceed your own research to do the fixing of your tank the right way.
Why is a thorough research is needed first before fixing your tank by yourself? It is mainly to avoid further issues that can trigger a bigger damage from a supposedly small leaking.

Repair it using conventional techniques
This is applicable if the GRP tank leakage is only caused by a small crack. This technique is in relation to general repair of crack in a fiberglass material.
a.At each end of the crack, you must drill a tiny hole. Doing this will stop the crack from expanding further.
b.Identify the crack size. With hairline cracks, Hand held or electric rotary blade is recommended to use to widen the crack just a bit. By doing this will allow the crack to possibly be filled with epoxy resin.
c.Using a dry rag, wipe the crack to make sure it's clean and dry. If the crack is not dry and clean enough, the epoxy won't adhere well.

Overhead Water Tanks is one of the most essential and important product for every structure that’s being built today. Mainly used for storage purpose, these Water Tanks have a capacity to store water to about 1000 Litres to 500,000 Liters. Water is used for many purposes and therefore choosing the right Water Tank for all these applications becomes very critical. Based on the applications and usage the right capacity of the tank should be determined.
There are certain factors to keep in mind while selecting an Overhead Water Tank:

There are certain factors to keep in mind while selecting an Overhead Water Tank:
- The kind of material of the Overhead Water Tank becomes important. If the usage is more then choosing a bigger capacity tank made up of concrete will be able to sustain the weight. But if its for a domestic purpose like an individual home then a plastic tank would suffice the requirement.
- The number of people residing in the building is inversely proportion to the capacity of the tank. If there are a small community of people then a small tank with minimum capacity would be enough. But if its a commercial building then one would want to have a larger capacity to avoid running out of water.
- Water Tanks made of concrete would require a sealant to avoid leakages. On the other hand a plastic tank will not require any such sealants as it is full covered.
- Choosing the tank color can affect the water stored in the tank. Water tanks are often colored in Black. Black blocks the penetration of sunlight in to the tank which decreases the growth of algae.
- One of the leading manufacturers in Water Tanks provide tanks of various colors, layers and capacities. A triple layer water tank can block the algae formation inside the tank. Dark colors heats the water inside whereas a light colored tank can keep the water cool and at room temperature.

GRP or Glass Reinforced Plastic is also commonly known as fibre glass. This material has a lot of advantages over other traditional materials that are used in the manufacture of water storage tanks. For the installation of a modern cold water storage tank there is no better choice than GRP. Here we explore why this is the superior material to choose.
Resistant to Corrosion
Steel has commonly been used as a material for water storage but the big downside to this material is that it will corrode and requires galvanising to prevent this. GRP, on the other hand, is corrosion resistant and can even withstand exposure to chemicals, wastewater and sewage if required.
High Strength Factor
Despite its light weight, GRP is also extremely strong. GRP outperforms traditional materials including aluminium in strength tests, making this material perfect for longevity.
Long Life
GRP one piece water storage tank will have a lifespan of 25 years, which is far greater than alternative materials. In this time the GRP will not need to be treated in order to maintain it so you won’t need to worry about coating or repainting it during its lifespan.
Lightweight
GRP is a very light material which has a range of benefits. Installation on roofs will require less reinforcement because of the lighter weight and heavy lifting equipment will not be required for installation. This can help to significantly lower the installation costs and can make it more practical to install a cold water storage tank in a wider range of properties without the need for crane access.
When compared to other materials used in the manufacture of water storage tanks, GRP is the clear choice to make. This lightweight, corrosion resistant and tough material out-performs other traditional materials in every test and will last for longer too. If you are considering installing a sectional water tank on your home then you should look no further than GRP tanks. To find out more or to request a quote, contact us today.
