A guide to using water in your tank effectively

Our needs are constantly diversifying and undergoing change. With advancing and evolving technology, revolutions are taking place in many areas, especially in production, leading to an increasing demand for storage products like plastic water tanks. To use the water in your rainwater tank effectively, you can follow the steps below:

1) Regularly measure and monitor the water level in your tank

This allows you to understand when the water is running low and when it's being replenished. You can visually estimate the water level in your tank. However, if your tank has a measurement rod or a water level indicator, use these tools to measure the water level. The measurement rod is typically suspended inside the tank and is used to gauge the water level. The water level indicator, on the other hand, is a device located outside the tank that shows the water level.

If you don't have these measurement tools in your tank, you can manually measure the water level using a rod or a cup inside the tank. While measuring, you can gauge the water level based on a marked point on the tank's wall. This point indicates how much the water level has risen or fallen.

2) Check the quality of the water

The water in your tank can sometimes be contaminated due to soil or atmospheric particles. Therefore, you should check for any debris or other pollutants in the water. If the water is contaminated, replace, or clean the filters, or allow the water to drain from your tank.

Measure the pH level of the water in your tank. The pH level indicates the acidity or alkalinity of the water. If the pH level is outside normal ranges, it can affect the quality of the water. You can measure the pH level using specialized pH meters that you can purchase or have the measurement done by a professional company or technician. Check for the presence of microorganisms in the water in your tank. This is usually a test conducted in a laboratory environment and indicates whether there are microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, or parasites in the water. If microorganisms are present in the water, it can affect the water's quality and prevent its healthy use. Therefore, it is recommended to have the water in your tank tested for microorganisms. You can perform these tests with some knowledge of chemistry and using a few pieces of equipment.

3) Plan the use of water for different purposes

Water is a versatile resource. Looking at it from this perspective, you can use a portion of the stored water for garden irrigation and another portion for household drinking water. This ensures that water is used most efficiently, increasing your chances of saving. Additionally, it can be used for cleaning some surfaces.

4) Regularly clean the entry and exit paths into your tank and use filters

This ensures that there is no debris or other pollutants in the water, preserving the water's quality. Check for debris or other pollutants in the water in your tank. This is usually achieved by regularly cleaning the entry path into the water tank and using filters. If there is debris or other pollutants in your tank, these materials need to be cleaned, and the tank's filters should be replaced or cleaned.

5) Regularly perform maintenance on your tank

Strong structural integrity and regular refilling of your tank indicate that water is stored for a longer duration and can be used efficiently. Maintenance of the tank ensures the efficient use of water and its long lifespan. Maintenance, along with cleanliness, is crucial. Especially after storing organic products, cleaning must be done. Tanks that undergo regular cleaning do not develop unpleasant odors.
