The fiberglass water tank is assembled from whole S.MC tank panels. It is an ideal product for public domestic water, fire-fighting water, and industrial water storage facilities, and is a new type of water tank currently adopted internationally. The fiberglass water tank can be made from food-grade resin, resulting in a tank with good water quality that is clean and pollution-free; it can completely serve as a drinking water tank! For example, many food factories now use fiberglass water tank products for food brewing, fermentation, refrigeration, freezing, starch production, drinking water production, and other fields; especially in food processing that involves corrosive components such as acids, bases, and salts, fiberglass is superior to stainless steel.

The fiberglass water tank is assembled from whole S.MC tank panels. The fiberglass water tank is an ideal product for public domestic water, fire-fighting water, and industrial water storage facilities, and is a new type of water tank currently adopted internationally. Fiberglass water tanks can be made from food-grade resin, resulting in good water quality that is clean and pollution-free; they can completely serve as drinking water tanks! For example, many food factories now use fiberglass water tank products for food brewing, fermentation, refrigeration, freezing, starch production, drinking water production, and other fields; especially in the food processing process that contains corrosive components such as acids, alkalis, and salts, fiberglass is an ideal substitute for stainless steel. Another outstanding advantage of fiberglass is its low investment cost, which is only half that of stainless steel. Moreover, many fiberglass water tanks are used for the transportation and storage of fresh marine and aquatic products, indicating that they can completely serve as domestic drinking water reservoirs.

The leakage and corrosion phenomena commonly seen in combined welded stainless steel water tanks occur at the welding joints. The stainless steel has changed its original material properties after being welded at high temperatures with argon arc welding. After long-term immersion in water, chemical reactions occur, leading to corrosion. Currently, concrete and steel plate water tanks are mainly used in our country, but the leakage and scaling of concrete water tanks and the rusting of steel plate water tanks greatly affect their use. Currently, 85% of the enamel water tank supply systems in our country cannot meet the water quality standards due to bacterial algae and rust pollution in the tanks. However, fiberglass water tanks can avoid the above problems and can well meet the drinking water storage needs.
