In addition, even larger specimens are quite handy and easily removable.
For this reason they adapt easily to the different needs of a domestic environment.
Water storage systems for industrial use
The technologies used to make polyethylene tanks allow easy mass production, greatly reducing purchase and maintenance costs.
In addition, the polyethylene tanks are very resistant to atmospheric agents such as weather, temperature variations, UV rays.
Another characteristic of polyethylene is the high resistance to conditions of high pressure and humidity which makes these tanks the most suitable choice for underground installations.
For these reasons, they are particularly suitable for and intensive industrial indoor and outdoor use.
Waste and meteoric water collection in agriculture
Thanks to their durability and resistance, polyethylene tanks are also widely used in agriculture for the collection and conservation of rainwater and wastewater.
They are very resistant to structural deterioration, and are unassailable from most chemical agents such as fungicides and fertilizers.
For this reason, maintenance and cleaning procedures are very easy: any mould or alga that develops inside them is easily removable with a common algaecide without affecting the surface.
