Choose the Right Tank Capacity Based on Usage Patterns

When it comes to choosing a water tank, one of the most common mistakes we all make is thinking the bigger the better. Is it? It has been observed that an oversized tank causes more harm than good and may lead to waterborne diseases. So what does choosing the right water tank encapsulate? Is it just about storage, water management, cost efficiency, or sustainability? We will see all that in this article. In the article, we have also put together a calculator that will help you pick the right water tank for your family.

Why isn’t a bigger tank the best choice?

The larger the tank, the more water it stores over a period of time. To maintain good health, it is necessary to use fresh water rather than the one that has been stagnant for days. In large water tanks water water becomes a breeding ground of bacteria and algae, especially in warm climate areas. Moreover, a big tank occupies unnecessarily more space. Its installation and maintenance can also cost a lot, plus its overflow can lead to a lot of wastage of water. So, how do we make a smart choice while buying a water tank for our daily needs? 

How to get your perfect-sized water tank? 

To choose the right tank, it is essential to determine the daily water usage of the people inside the building. Along with this, you should also know the average per-person daily usage of water. In India, an average person uses 225 litres of water for domestic purposes, be it drinking, cooking, washing, bathing, flushing, etc. 

If you multiply the average water consumption by the number of users in the house or building, you will get the exact capacity of the water tank that you will need to install at your place. Example: 

• Family of 4 members X daily water consumption of 225 litres = 900 litres of daily water requirement. 

With the above method, you can easily understand which size tank is best suited for your family members. Now that you know your daily water requirements, let us determine which water tank to opt for. 

Peak usage Vs. Average usage.

Water usage is not the same throughout the day. It usually spikes during the morning and evening when cooking, bathing, and laundry are done. If the tank does not account for the peak usage, then you might be standing at the risk of running out of water at the crucial hours, even if the total daily consumption is low. So here’s what you need to know before choosing a water tank. 

• Storage of the water tank should be at least 1.5 times more than the peak usage window. 
• It should also be able to store water for a one day buffer in case of low water supply.

Meaning for a family of 4, the daily usage of water is 900 l then they should opt for a water tank that has a capacity of 1350 liters or more. However, as mentioned earlier, stored stagnant water may become a breeding ground of waterborne diseases. So it’s very important to take care of the water tank that you have chosen for your family.
