Tensioned anti algae covers

Ensuring optimal water quality preservation

Around 85% of our water tanks are complemented with a cover. A decent water storage system is the foundation in water management, but the importance of an adequate cover should not be overlooked! With a cover in place, water quality is optimally preserved. How does this work?

In an uncovered water tank, algae can grow quickly and other contaminants can pollute the water. This often leads to clogged irrigation systems, which can cause various problems. The primary function of a tensioned anti-algae cover is to inhibit the growth of algae, while additionally serving to shield the water from contamination by small debris and reduce water evaporation.

Our tensioned anti-algae covers are made from 210 grams woven polypropylene with a reinforced edge and stainless steel eyelets. This cover is subsequently attached to the outside of the tank with special hooks and nylon cord. The woven design allows water to permeate through the cover, but keeps dirt and light out.  

The tensioned anti-algae covers can be installed at both indoor and outdoor water tanks, in all kind of applications. They are most suitable for tanks with a diameter of up to approx. 9 metres. For larger diameters, we recommend installing a reinforcement ring in the upper ring, combined with a centre pole. A centre pole keeps the cover slightly lifted, so that rain that falls easily slides down in order to avoid sagging.

Equipping a metal water tank with a tensioned anti algae cover is a smart and effective way to protect the water. Keeping the water clean and safe for longer helps deliver stronger results for your operations.
