More than 20 years ago we changed the method of securing the liner to the tank; we started making use of the Install+ liner fixing system. Install+ is a simple system where a coloured band is threaded through a prefabricated slot in the tank liner. The band can then be tightened with ratchets, ensuring the cord gets taut and it keeps the liner neatly in place.
The development of Install+
Before the Install+ system was applied, PVC and later stainless steel eyelets were welded in the hem of the liners. Ropes were threaded through the eyelets and attached to metal hooks, keeping the liner in place. This method was more labour intensive and water would accumulate in the ropes, dripping down at the hook locations. This often led to the first signs of rust.
Advantages
Install+ is a simple system, but it offers several mayor benefits to customers:
- Faster installation: the system allows for a quicker setup.
- Rust prevention: it helps to avoid rust, providing protection to the metal panels.
- Flexibility: the horizontal connection is somewhat flexible, allowing the liner to move slightly under stress without damaging the liner or the top of the tank.
The Install+ system ensures extra protection for the metal, the liner and the top of the tank, which in turn guarantee a longer service life of the water tank.
