Stating further he said that this type of tank is being manufactured for the first time in India out of imported mirror finish stainless steel plates (SS304 2BA) and offers the best solution for the storage of potable water with "Zero Retention" for daily use. The size of the storage tanks varies from a capacity of 100 liters to 4000 liters, but at the same time it can also undertake manufacturing of custom tanks as per the customers' requirements.
According to Mr. Mehta, currently, the plastic, galvanized, mild steel and concrete tanks are being used to store water for drinking purpose but the stored water in these tanks is not safe and hygienic for consumption mainly because the materials being used to manufacture these tanks are porous, which in turn helps the growth of bacteria, fungus and algae leading to water contamination.
The water temperature increases significantly in plastic tanks in summer season causing the increase in growth of bacteria. The mirror finish material that we use for the tank manufacturing reflects the heat and sun's rays, therefore resisting an alarming increase in temperature. In addition, it is a challenge to clean these tanks regularly and thoroughly. Hence the prevailing method of storing drinking water for domestic consumption is very harmful. Moreover, Stainless Steel has longer life span whereas plastic tanks required replacements at least 5 to 10 times in one's life, he claimed.
