Why Safe Water Storage Is Vital? Stainless Steel Solutions
Access to clean and healthy water is the cornerstone of our quality of life. It is just as important to store it in healthy and safe conditions as it is to access water. Traditional storage methods can reduce water quality over time by creating risks such as algae, bacteria, and rust. At this point, Asinoks, with our experience of more than 30 years and our expert staff, offers stainless steel water tanks, which provide both modern and the healthiest storage solution, setting the standard of the future today.
Maintaining the purity of the water used is of critical importance, especially in homes, hospitals, and food facilities. Stainless steel, with its smooth surface and corrosion-resistant structure, preserves your water’s freshness, taste, and smell without changing it. With our production understanding certified by ISO 9001 and CE quality certificates, we create the most ideal environment for you to safely store your water.
What is a Stainless Steel Water Tank?
As the name suggests, a stainless steel water tank is a tank made of special stainless steel alloys for the purpose of storing water. Two types of steel quality are generally prominent in the production of these tanks: AISI 304 and AISI 316. These materials exhibit exceptional resistance to rust (oxidation) thanks to the chromium and nickel they contain. These properties make them the most ideal material for water storage. As Asinoks, we offer long-lasting and reliable solutions by using the most suitable material quality according to your project’s needs.
AISI 304 quality stainless steel is the most common and ideal option for general use and drinking water storage. AISI 316, on the other hand, exhibits extra resistance to more corrosive substances such as chloride thanks to the molybdenum element it contains and is especially preferred for salty environments such as seaside or chemical storage needs. Each stainless steel water tank is produced under our Aslanlar Paslanmaz and Aslanlar Ticaret brands, with the highest workmanship standards and technology.
Superior Advantages of Stainless Steel Water Tanks
Stainless steel tanks stand out with the many advantages they offer compared to other alternatives. These advantages make it not only a storage tool, but also a smart investment for health and economy.
Hygiene and Health
The non-porous and smooth surface of stainless steel prevents the adhesion and reproduction of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and algae. This ensures that your water always remains hygienic. In addition, odor and taste changes that may occur over time in plastic tanks do not occur in stainless steel. The natural structure of your water is preserved without being spoiled.
Durability and Long Life
Stainless steel is extremely resistant to corrosion, UV rays and harsh weather conditions. It does not wear out over time like galvanized tanks, nor does it become brittle under the sun like plastic tanks. Thanks to these features, Asinoks stainless steel water tanks maintain their initial performance for decades and provide service without requiring maintenance.
Easy Maintenance and Low Cost
Thanks to its smooth inner surface, it is extremely easy to clean. Periodic cleaning processes can be done quickly and effortlessly. Considering the regular maintenance, repair or replacement costs required in other tank types, stainless steel tanks are much more economical in the long run.
Environmentally Friendly and Sustainable
Stainless steel is a 100% recyclable material. Even when it reaches the end of its life, it can be brought back into the economy without harming nature. As Asinoks, the importance we attach to the environment and human health is a fundamental part of our quality policy.
Aesthetic and Modern Appearance
The bright and clean appearance of stainless steel adds a modern and stylish aesthetic to any environment in which it is located. It provides an aesthetic advantage, especially for tanks to be placed in visible areas.
Stainless Steel Water Tank Selection: What Should Be Considered?
Choosing the right water tank means finding the most suitable and efficient solution for your needs. It is important to consider the following criteria when making a selection:
- Capacity Requirement: You should accurately determine the amount of water you need according to your intended use (individual residence, apartment, hotel, industrial facility). For example, a 1-ton stainless steel water tank may generally be sufficient for a family, while much larger capacities are needed for a site or factory.
- Material Quality: A choice should be made between AISI 304 or AISI 316 quality steel according to the nature of the water and the environment in which the tank will be located. You can get support from our expert team on this matter.
- Workmanship and Welding Quality: The leak-proofness and durability of the tank directly depend on the welding quality. Asinoks offers the highest quality welding workmanship with its 30 years of experience.
- Manufacturer Company: Working with stainless steel water tank manufacturers that are experienced in the sector, have strong references and have the necessary quality certificates is the guarantee of your investment.
- Warranty and Service: After-sales support and warranty period are an indication of the confidence in the quality of the product.
Tank Comparison: Stainless Steel, Plastic and Galvanized
When choosing a water tank, three main materials are generally compared: Stainless steel, plastic (polyethylene) and galvanized sheet metal. Stainless steel stands out far ahead of the others, especially in terms of health and longevity. Stainless steel tanks, sometimes referred to as chrome water tanks among the public, actually gain this stainless property thanks to the chromium they contain. Although plastic tanks are more affordable, they are not resistant to UV rays and can create a breeding ground for bacteria over time. Galvanized tanks, on the other hand, begin to rust quickly when their coatings are scratched and can release metal into the water. Stainless steel is the most reliable option that eliminates all these disadvantages.
Usage Areas and Popular Models
As Asinoks, we produce stainless steel water tanks in different models and capacities for all kinds of needs. Our products are used safely in a wide range from residences to large industrial facilities.
Tank Models
- Vertical Stainless Steel Water Tank: It is an ideal solution for narrow spaces as it takes up less space. It also provides pressure advantage.
- Horizontal Stainless Steel Water Tank: It is perfect especially for places such as basements and attics where the ceiling height is limited.
- Modular Stainless Steel Water Tank: Prismatic or modular tanks are ideal for projects requiring large capacity. Since it is transported in parts and assembled on site, it provides ease of transportation and assembly. Our company is moving towards its goal of being dominant in the modular structures sector with these products.
Main Usage Areas
Our stainless steel tanks are preferred in countless areas such as individual residences, apartments and sites, schools, hospitals, hotels, shopping malls, food production facilities, industrial factories and agricultural irrigation systems.
Stainless Steel Water Tank Maintenance and Cleaning
Asinoks stainless steel water tanks require minimum maintenance. However, it is recommended to perform periodic cleaning at least once a year to keep your water quality at the highest level. Abrasive chemicals such as wire brushes and bleach and harsh cleaning tools that may damage the inner surface of the tank should never be used during cleaning. Generally, a simple cleaning with pressurized water and a soft brush will be sufficient.
Conclusion: Why a Stainless Steel Water Tank Is an Investment?
Current stainless steel water tank prices may seem higher than other alternatives at first glance. However, this is not an expense, but an investment in health and the future. Considering the decades of service life offered by stainless steel, the near-zero maintenance cost, and most importantly, its contribution to your health by protecting your water from all kinds of pollution, it is clear that it is the most economical and rational solution in the long run. With Asinoks’ experience and quality understanding since 1982, you can have tanks that protect your water like your most valuable asset.
