Is it possible to prevent freezing of tanks?
Freezing water can be a big problem and can cause systems and tanks to rupture with supply interruptions. it is in fact recommended to protect the tanks in places where temperatures can be very low in the winter months.
How can the tanks be protected?
1. By opting for a large tank
More water takes longer to freeze. For this reason, if we choose a large tank and fill it with water, it will take longer for it to freeze.
2. By heating the tank
If temperatures drop below 0 ° C, it may be a good idea to install drum heaters around tanks and cisterns in order to maintain a correct temperature of the drum and thus of the water inside. This will ensure that the water remains thawed, even in particularly cold climates.
3. Isolating the tank
An easier way can be to use an insulation blanket for tank to prevent the water from freezing.
4. Monitoring the cracks
It is always necessary to check the tank regularly to make sure there are no leaks or cracks.
