Call The Plumber Water Tank Installation Process

Installation of your water tank is one of the most important processes, besides the purchase of your water tank of course. The quality of the water tank installation can determine whether or not the water tank has a long life. Correct installation of water tanks avoids the risk of damage to support equipment (if any), and damage to the water tank itself from the natural elements (bush fires, high winds, etc.)

Site Preparation

Here at call the plumber we take individual installation steps that are unique to each water tank that we supply. The majority of water tank installation jobs we carry out require a significant amount of site preparation.

To begin with, we need to build a solid level base for the water tank, so that it can stand the test of the elements and any severe weather conditions, this is done by:-

·         We only use materials that cannot be damaged by animals, water course, wind, cascading overflow, or bush fires.

·         We then ensure the kernel of the tank is very well supported as this is the area that has the carries the most pressure. This is particularly necessary when the tank is filled, as the pressure on the tank is increased.

·         We need to make sure that any roots, branches, or sharp objects cannot pierce the water tank.

Connection

When we connect the tank, it is important that all inlets and outlets are given flexibility. It is important that the pipes can move slightly because when filled they tend to expand and when empty they then decrease to the original size. Also when they are empty tanks can move in the wind, and water tank pump equipment tends to vibrate also. Too rigid of a connection tends to cause damage to the tank. This can vary depending on the type of the water tank you have installed.

Testing and Inspection

When it appears that we have completed the water tank installation process, we then need to carry out thorough quality checks that include system tests, connections, and any other elements that may impede the stability of the water tank.

Some of the extensive checks we carry out include:

·         We check all the connection and attachments to the tank, and then we add water to it.

·         We then thoroughly check all areas of the tank to look for drips, or problems with the alignment of the fittings.

·         Then it’s time to look over the support of the tank to see whether or not it is evenly supported. This doesn’t matter if it’s on a solid base, or on a stand.

·         Final check on connections, fittings, and locking nuts.
