How to Choose the Right Size Water Storage Tank for Your Home or Business
1. Evaluate Your Water Usage
The first step is to assess your daily or weekly water consumption. For homes, this will depend on the number of occupants and their water habits. On average, each person uses about 50-100 liters of water per day. For businesses, consider the operational water needs, such as water for cleaning, cooling, or production processes. Jumbo Tanks offers tanks in sizes from 500 liters to several thousand liters to accommodate different usage levels.
2. Consider Space Availability
The space where you plan to install the tank is an important factor in determining the size. Larger tanks require more space, so ensure that your site can accommodate the chosen tank. If space is limited, you might opt for a vertical tank that takes up less ground area but holds a larger volume.
3. Future-Proofing
It’s wise to consider your future needs when choosing a tank size. If you expect an increase in water demand—such as expanding your home, business, or farm—it’s beneficial to choose a slightly larger tank to avoid needing an upgrade in the near future.
4. Rainwater Harvesting Potential
If you plan to use the tank for rainwater harvesting, calculate how much rainfall your area receives annually and how much roof space is available to capture that water. This will help you choose a tank large enough to collect and store rainwater for dry periods.
NOTE: In conclusion, choosing the right size water storage tank from Jumbo Tanks requires careful consideration of water usage, space, and future needs. With our range of options, you’ll find a tank that perfectly fits your home or business needs.
