Choosing and how to use tanks on the roof

Depending on the conditions to manage the water pressure of the building and the available spaces, the water tank can be installed on the roof of the building. In this case, in addition to the items listed in the correct product installation guide label, pay attention to the following points:

• Installing a tank on the roof in times of power outages and the inability to use a water pump can solve the problem of water outages or water pressure reduction, but during installation, you must be sure of providing the necessary water pressure to fill the tank.
• It is better to install the tank in a covered and enclosed space, otherwise it must be fixed in some way so that the wind and other shocks cannot move it.
• It is better to use tanks with a shorter height and larger cross-section on the roof so that the tank and its connections are not damaged during strong winds and also to distribute the load better on the roof of the building.
• To choose the place to install the tank on the roof, be sure to consult with the building engineer regarding the load bearing of the structure.
• The tank must be protected from possible extreme heat and cold.
• Pay attention not to damage the waterproofing coating of the roof when installing the tank.
• Depending on the conditions and the amount of water pressure in the upper floors, a suitable pump can be used to distribute water in the water supply network of the building.
• If the tank used on the roof is not permanently placed in the water supply network of the building, the water in the tank must be replaced in short periods of time so that the water quality does not decrease.
