Question

How long should a water storage tank last?

Accepted Answer

There are many factors that can affect how long a water tank should last, one of the main ones being the usage. The purer the water you’re storing in your tank, the longer your tank is likely to last. For example, we wouldn’t recommend storing salt water, as there is a much higher risk of corrosion and damage to the tank, whereas clean water is less likely to damage your tank. Where your tank is located could also affect its lifespan, if your tank is stood in water, it could damage it, so it is important to ensure your tank is placed on a solid foundation.
