Fire water tank liners play an important role in protecting fire water tanks from corrosion and leaks. By properly maintaining your fire water tank liner, you can help to ensure its longevity and effectiveness.
What is a fire water tank liner?
A fire water tank liner is a barrier that is installed inside the fire water tank to protect it from corrosion and leaks. Liners can be made from a variety of materials, including polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM).
Why is fire water tank liner maintenance important?
Fire water tank liner maintenance is important for a number of reasons:
- To extend the lifespan of the liner: Proper maintenance will help to prevent the liner from deteriorating and failing.
- To ensure the quality of the water in the tank: A damaged liner can allow contaminants to enter the water supply. Regular maintenance will help to identify and repair any damage to the liner, preventing contamination of the water.
- To comply with regulations: In most Australian states and territories, there are regulations that require fire water tank liners to be maintained in accordance with AS 1851-2012: Routine Service of Fire Protection Systems and Equipment.
Fire water tank liner maintenance best practices
The following are some fire water tank liner maintenance best practices:
- Regularly inspect the liner for signs of damage: Look for any cracks, tears, or holes in the liner. You should also check for any signs of corrosion or mildew.
- Clean the liner regularly: Remove any debris or algae from the liner. You can use a mild soap and water solution to clean the liner.
- Test the water quality regularly: Test the water in the tank for pH, turbidity, and other contaminants. A damaged liner can allow contaminants to enter the water supply.
- Repair any damage to the liner immediately: If you find any damage to the liner, it is important to have it repaired immediately. This will help to prevent further damage to the liner and to the tank itself.
