Installation

Hilltake engineers SS Tanks for durability and hygiene, delivering a lifetime water storage solution—even in demanding commercial and industrial environments. Crafted from high-grade SS304 stainless steel with a mirror finish, these tanks store potable water, milk, beverages, chemicals, and more while preventing contamination and ensuring long-term reliability.

Installation Guidelines

  • Install the tank on a flat, level surface with a strong and stable foundation.
  • Use SS 304 pipe fittings and other non-toxic, non-corrosive materials such as PPR, or PVC for water outlets and discharge points.
  • Place a stop-cock at the outlet end to allow emergency shutoff if needed.
  • Do not alter or add outlet connections after delivery.
  • Fill the tank halfway and flush it out before using.
  • Bolt the tank securely if placed on a raised metal stand.
  • Keep the air vent open at all times to allow proper airflow.
  • Securely fit and properly align all pipes connected to the tank openings.
  • Inspect all connections and fittings regularly for leaks or wear to ensure safe and efficient operation.
  • Install a discharge pipe and valve to remove sediment or dirty water, and discharge regularly.
  • Install the tank away from chemical substances or hazardous liquids.
  • Support all connected pipes adequately to prevent stress or damage.
  • Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the tank to prevent structural strain or damage.
  • Use a non-return valve when using a submersible pump to fill the tank.

Cleaning Guidelines

  • Clean the tank using only mild detergents.
  • Clean the outside of the tank every 6 months and the inside every month.
  • Avoid using steel or abrasive scrubbers to clean the tank surface.
