OVERHEAD TANKS

Metal Overhead Tank Stanchions

A metal tank stanchion is a reinforced steel stand designed to elevate water storage tanks. By raising the tank, it uses gravity to create the water pressure needed for taps and showers.

Key Features

• Structural Support: Built from heavy-duty angle iron or tubular steel to safely hold the immense weight of thousands of liters of water.

• Vertical Efficiency: Saves ground space by moving bulky storage tanks upward.

Importance to the Home

• Gravity-Fed Pressure: Eliminates the constant need for an electric pump to get water to faucets; if the power goes out, the water still flows.

• Cleanliness: Elevating the tank keeps it away from ground-level contaminants, pests, and flooding.

• Durability: Unlike wooden stands, metal stanchions are treated to resist structural failure, providing a stable foundation for decades.

• Cost Savings: Reduces energy bills by relying on physics (potential energy) rather than electricity for daily water distribution.
