Exploring the Massive Capacity of the JoJo 20,000 Litre Vertical Water Storage Tank
In a time when availability can sometimes be unpredictable, having a robust storage solution becomes vital. Having a backup system in the form of large water storage containers is the obvious solution. And while there are various sizes available, there’s undeniable value in opting for a larger tank, such as our 20,000 Litre Vertical Water Storage Tank.
Having a tank with a significant storage capacity not only ensures a more extended water supply during shortages but also means fewer refills, which is convenient and economical. It’s more than just size though – the quality and features of the tank are equally crucial. Our large vertical tank, for instance, boasts impressive strength and durability, built to withstand South Africa’s diverse and sometimes harsh climate.
And the benefits don’t end there – there are many uses and applications that we’ll discuss in this post, demonstrating why a substantial water storage solution might just be one of the smartest investments you can make.
Key Features of Large Vertical Water Storage Tanks
Water storage is more than just holding water – it’s about ensuring quality, longevity, and safety. Here’s why our 20 000 Litre Vertical Water Storage Tank is a top choice for many:
- Quality Material: Manufactured using the highest quality virgin LLDPE, our tanks promise durability and resistance against wear.
- UV-Stabilised Outer Layer: Designed with the African climate in mind, the UV-resistant layer ensures the tank’s longevity against harsh sun rays.
- Safety: With a BPA-free, food-grade layer, our tanks prevent any harmful chemical leaching, ensuring the water inside remains pure. Additionally, a black inner layer restricts algae growth, maintaining the water’s quality.
- Strength in Design: The tank’s base boasts a greater thickness, offering strength against the water’s pressure. Moreover, closely spaced ribs at the bottom and an absence of vertical joints ensure there are no weak points, enhancing overall tank strength.
- Safety Clips: To enhance safety, especially during overflows, our tank lids are secured with spring-loaded e-clips.
- Aesthetic Choices: Looking for something unique? Our tanks are available in a wide range of colours to suit your unique aesthetic requirements.
For optimal results, remember to install the tank on a sound, level, and smooth surface, such as level paving, a specially designed tank stand, or a concrete plinth.
Applications for Both Industrial and Commercial Use
Whether you’re running a business or looking for a home solution, JoJo’s vertical water storage tanks are versatile enough to cater to both commercial and industrial needs:
Commercial Applications:
- Hospitality Industry: Hotels and resorts can use these large tanks for storing water for guest usage, landscaping, and maintaining swimming pools.
- Healthcare Facilities: Hospitals and clinics can benefit from having an extra water supply for sanitation, patient care, and in case of emergencies where water access might be critical.
- Educational Institutions: Schools and universities can use these tanks for general water needs, including sanitation, landscaping, and catering services.
- Office Buildings: For large office complexes, having an adequate water supply is essential for daily operations, including restrooms and fire safety systems.
- Construction Sites: These tanks can be invaluable in providing water for construction activities, especially in areas where water access is limited.
Industrial Applications:
- Manufacturing Processes: Industries often require substantial water quantities. These tanks ensure a steady water supply for manufacturing and other operational processes.
- Emergency Reservoir: In scenarios like fire emergencies, having a large water reservoir on-site can be a lifesaver.
Agriculture:
- Large water storage containers can be useful as backup irrigation supplies for smallholdings, or as an emergency supply of drinking water for livestock during droughts.
Considerations: Before installing any large water storage containers, consider factors like space, base foundation, and proximity to the primary water source. Ensure you have the necessary infrastructure in place for smooth water flow and access.
Aesthetics and Customisation: For larger properties or businesses conscious of their visual brand, customisation options are available. From different colours and even underground modular tanks that are completely hidden from view, you can integrate the tank seamlessly into your property’s aesthetic.
Maintaining Your Large Vertical Water Storage Tank
Proper maintenance of your water storage tank will help ensure its longevity and the quality of water it stores. Here’s how to keep your JoJo tank in tip-top shape:
- Tank Cleanliness: Regularly inspect the internal cleanliness of your tank and check the sludge level.
- Sediment Build Up: Environmental factors might cause sedimentation inside your tank over time. JoJo tanks are designed with this in mind, placing the water fitting (outlet) slightly above the bottom. If sediment builds up, empty and clean your tank as needed.
- Tank Lid: Regularly ensure the lid is securely clipped in place.
- Fittings & Connections: Regularly inspect all fittings and pipework connections for signs of damage or leaks.
- Pump Cover: If you have an externally mounted pressure pump, we recommend using a cover to shield it from adverse weather conditions.
- Pump Efficiency: Listen for the pressure pump switching on and off intermittently when it shouldn’t. This could signify a minor water leak, often rectified by tightening or replacing fittings.
- Filters: If filters are installed, either before or after the pressure pump or water tank, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for cleaning or replacing them.
Regular maintenance doesn’t just prolong your tank’s life; it ensures you get the best out of your investment. Refer to our maintenance guide for in-depth advice and tips.
Comparing Your Large Capacity Storage Options
JoJo offers a diverse range of water storage tanks, each catering to distinct needs and scenarios.
At the forefront are JoJo’s Vertical Water Storage Tanks. Recognised for their upright stature, these tanks demand proper installation on a solid base or tank stand and are designed to remain stationary once filled. Ranging in capacity from 260 to 20,000 litres, they’re perfect for rainwater harvesting, and offer reliable backup during water shortages.
In contrast, Horizontal Water Storage Tanks, or transporter tanks, provide mobile water storage solutions. They can be affixed to vehicles, like LDVs or trucks, turning them into mobile water sources suitable for activities such as watering crops or quenching fires. Despite their mobility, they can also serve stationary roles when height restrictions apply.
Lastly, Low Profile Water Storage Tanks fill the gap where height is a limitation but the ground space isn’t. Their shorter height coupled with a broader diameter ensures they can store vast volumes of water, with capacities available in both 5,000 and 10,000 litres.
Embracing Large-scale Water Storage with the 20,000 Litre Tank
JoJo’s 20 000 litre vertical storage tank highlights the benefits of having a big water storage solution. Whether it’s ensuring a consistent water supply during shortages, keeping your business running, or serving agricultural needs, large-capacity tanks are indispensable assets. In today’s uncertain times, investing in a large water tank is a smart, conscientious, and practical decision!
