Prices of HiWater Pressure Tanks
HiWater Pressure Tank
The HiWater pressure tank is a storage unit that can be used alongside a water pump in water supply systems. These tanks, which are also referred to as expansion tanks, closed expansion vessels, and pressurized reservoirs, are available in the market in a variety of colors and designs, as displayed on the website. Due to their diverse range, they come in different sizes and capacities.
 
Applications of Pressure Tanks

Residential usage
Agricultural usage
Petrochemical, oil, and gas refineries
Mines
Nuclear reactors
And so on.

 
Types of Pressure Tanks
Pressure tanks are generally divided into two categories: bladder-type pressure tanks and diaphragm-type pressure tanks. To understand these two types, we compare them as follows.

In bladder-type pressure tanks, the bladder can be replaced when it gets damaged, allowing the tank to be reused without requiring a full body replacement but it is the opposite in diaphragm-type tanks, and once the diaphragm is damaged, the entire system must be replaced.
From a durability perspective, diaphragm tanks have a longer lifespan. This is due to their structural design and the location of the diaphragm in the tank, which minimizes direct contact between the diaphragm and the tank’s inner body, thereby reducing the likelihood of wear and tear. In contrast, bladder tanks are more susceptible to abrasion, especially if the air pressure is unbalanced or if the tank is not leveled, leading to friction between the bladder and the tank body. Therefore, diaphragm-type pressure tanks have longer durability than bladder tanks.
Regarding price, for the same capacity, diaphragm-type pressure tanks tend to be more expensive than bladder-type pressure tanks due to their greater durability lifespan.
In bladder-type tanks, water is inside the bladder, with air surrounding it externally but in diaphragm-type tanks, air is in the upper section, water is in the lower section, and the diaphragm separates these two sections.
And so on

 
Structure and Functionality of Pressure Tanks
As seen on the website, pressure tanks are constructed with a metallic body, and they house internal components such as bladders or diaphragms. Accordingly, water is held inside the bladder in bladder tanks, and is stored in the lower section in diaphragm tanks. As water flows into the tank, it enters the air inside, causing an increase in internal pressure. As water flows into the tank, it compresses the trapped air, increasing the internal pressure. When the tank reaches its preset maximum pressure, the compressed air applies force to the water. This water storage by pressurization allows the water to be delivered through the pipes and fittings at an optimal pressure.
 

Methods to Extend the Lifespan of Pressure Tanks
To maximize the longevity and efficiency of pressure tanks and prevent bladder or diaphragm rupture, several preventive measures can be taken:

To our knowledge, Water often contains fine sand particles and chlorine. Chlorine exposure can weaken the elasticity of the bladder or diaphragm, making them prone to cracks or punctures. Using a storage tank before the pump and pressure tank allows chlorine to leave and sediment to settle.
For pressure tanks, especially bladder-type ones, it is crucial to install them on a flat surface. This effectively minimizes the tube’s contact with the tank’s inner surface. Otherwise, the bladder may continuously rub against the tank body, causing reduced thickness and, ultimately, rupture.
As mentioned earlier, the body of pressure tanks is often made of metal, thus installing the tank in a dry environment is essential. Prolonged exposure to humidity can lead to corrosion and rust.
If the bladder inside a tank bursts, water may come into contact with the body, leading to corrosion and rust over time. Therefore, when replacing the bladder, inspect the tank’s interior for any raised areas, and solve the problem, then install a new bladder.
When buying a pressure tank, it is important to choose a capacity that suits your requirements because improper size, whether too small or too large, can cause multiple problems. For example, if the tank’s capacity is low, it will frequently cycle between filling and emptying to meet demand, leading to a shorter lifespan of the tube or diaphragm, and failure and increased friction on the pump and related components.
And so on.
