Why is GRP Better for Water Tank?

When it comes to the water tanks, most people today choose to use GRP in their tanks, but why is this so? GRP stands for Glass Reinforced Plastic and is also widely known as glass fibre. It is more commonly used today because it offers many advantages over other, more typical materials traditionally used in the manufacture of water storage tanks. Today we will outline four key reasons why GRP is the best material to choose for your modern cold water storage tank and why you should buy one of our GRP water tanks.

1. Lightweight

GRP is a very light material and offers several advantages. Due to its low weight, less steel is required to install on the roof and no heavy lifting equipment is required for installation. This helps to significantly reduce installation costs and makes it more practical to install chilled water storage tanks in a wider range of properties without the need for cranes.

2. Corrosion resistance

Although steel is the main material used to manufacture water storage tanks, this material is prone to corrosion. To prevent this, it needs to be galvanized. Alternatively, using GRP means that it is already corrosion resistant. In addition, it can withstand contact with other liquids and materials, including different chemicals, wastewater, and sewage.

3. Long-lasting

When you choose a GRP water storage tank, you will be able to enjoy its use for a full 25 years. This length of time is much longer than other materials. In addition, there is no need to treat it throughout its lifetime, so you won't have to spend time coating or repainting it.

4. High strength factor

Despite its low weight, GRP is also very strong. GRP outperforms conventional materials, including aluminum, in strength tests, making this material ideal for longevity. LANDYOUNG pure water storage system derives from the design (modular panels designed for optimum functional efficiency), the material & process(hot-pressed GRP), and the packaging (kit).

Overall

It's no surprise why most modern water tanks are made from GRP. It is corrosion-resistant, durable, lightweight, and strong. It is superior to other more traditional materials, so it is the clear, practical choice when buying a water tank and installing it on your property.

LANDYOUNG GRP Panel Type Water Storage Tank system is designed for every need, with unit sizes from 1m³ to 4,000m³ (1,000litres to 4,000,000litres).

The panel tank is a modular system, enabling a tank of any desired size and shape to be constructed. Panel sizes are from 0.5 to 2.0 meters in height and could be combined to create a tank up to 4m high. Formed from hot-pressed GRP. All units offer the option of integral insulation.

LANDYOUNG GRP Tanks can be installed at ground level, on top of or inside buildings, or on steel towers. Typical applications include municipalities, industrial users, agriculture, aquaculture, reservoirs, hotels, hospitals, offices, private homes, and other building complexes, as well as high volume long-term storage where regular piped supplies may not be available.
