The Essentials of Reverse Osmosis Water Storage

Reverse osmosis technology purifies water by forcing it through a semipermeable membrane to remove contaminants, minerals, and impurities. RO units typically produce purified water relatively slowly, necessitating storage tanks to accumulate water and provide immediate availability for use.

Key requirements of RO water storage tanks include:

• Preserving water purity with inert and non-contaminating materials.
• Maintaining pressurized water storage to ensure consistent flow without booster pumps.
• Robust construction to resist corrosion and extend tank service life.
• Hygienic design to prevent microbial growth and biofilm formation.
• Modular and scalable to meet varying usage demands from households to large facilities.

What Are Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) RO Water Tanks?

GFS tanks are fabricated by fusing a high-quality glass enamel coating to steel plates at temperatures around 820°C–930°C. This process produces a chemically inert, smooth, and durable glass layer permanently bonded to the steel substrate.

This technology uniquely combines the structural strength of steel with the impermeability and hygiene of glass, making GFS tanks ideal for storing RO-treated water which requires ultra-pure conditions.

Technical Advantages of GFS Reverse Osmosis Water Tanks

• Superior Corrosion Resistance: The dense glass layer provides exceptional resistance against dissolved gases and chemical agents in RO water that would otherwise corrode standard steel tanks.
• Inert and Non-Leaching Surface: Glass enamel does not release metals, organics, or impurities into the stored water, ensuring continued water purity suitable for drinking, industrial processes, or pharmaceutical needs.
• Hygienic and Easy to Clean: The smooth glass surface prevents biofilm formation and facilitates regular cleanability, crucial for preventing microbial contamination.
• Mechanical Strength and Durability: The steel core withstands pressure fluctuations, temperature changes, and mechanical impact during transport or installation.
• Pressure Preservation: Bolted panel construction provides leak-tight integrity to maintain tank pressure, ensuring consistent water delivery at faucets or process points without pumps.
• Long Service Life with Low Maintenance: Typically exceeding 30 years, GFS tanks resist degradation eliminating the need for frequent recoating or repairs.
• Certifications and Standards: Center Enamel tanks comply with internationally recognized certifications including NSF/ANSI 61, ISO 9001, WRAS, EN1090, AWWA D103-09, and OSHA standards for water safety and structural integrity.
