From permitting you to water plants to providing clean drinking water, your water tank plays many significant roles around the household. This makes choosing the right model especially important. Water Wagon of Fairbanks, AK, is the leading water delivery service in the area and can help you determine what type of tank you need. Below they go into more detail on several options. 

A Guide to Water Tanks

1. In-Ground Tank

If you need water for your home but want to save space, in-ground tank solutions are your best bet. Typically made of concrete or plastic, in-ground water tanks will be placed in a hole dug on your property and then either filled in or covered. They are durable and long-lasting.

2. Under-the-House Tank

If your home has a crawl space, a bladder water tank may be the right choice for you. These units are made of rubber, shaped like oversized pillows, and completely collapsible. They are also convenient when you need to supply water to temporary spaces, such as construction sites or storage areas.

3. Above-Ground Tank 

Like in-ground and bladder solutions, above-ground water tanks will keep your supply safe from contamination. They are available in several shapes, including spherical, cubed, and cylindrical, and they may hold anywhere from 500 to several thousand gallons of water. Paint or enclose plastic tanks to protect them from UV ray degradation and line metal tanks with plastic to prevent oxidation.

4. Rainwater Tanks

Perhaps the most eco-friendly option, rainwater tanks “harvest” precipitation by collecting it via runoffs from your roof and gutter system. Once filtered, the fluids in your rainwater tank may be used for drinking, washing, plumbing, and a variety of other household tasks.
