Tank Liners for Water and Other Liquid Storage

Tank liner a such as PVC, Polyethylene and Polypropylene are designed to be used in tanks where the primary application is the storage of drinking water, and can also be manufactured to be used in other applications such as irrigation, rainwater collection, grey water, sewerage and stock water.  The great news is that once a liner has been installed, you only need to access the tank every year or two for cleaning and maintenance (as is standard with all tanks, regardless of if they have a liner or not).
Domestic water storage is becoming a necessity for many households due to natural occurrences such as droughts. As this is the case water tanks are fast becoming the norm for rural and domestic properties where town water is limited. The most common tanks used for this application are concrete, poly and corrugated steel tanks. Tanks however are suspect to leaks due to cracking and holes, and while welding and patching can temporarily fix the issue, more than likely more leaks and cracks will develop in the tank over time.
Due to this very reason, tank liners are the best and most cost effective solution to fixing these issues. Tank liners are designed to fix not only current leaks and holes, but also leaks and holes which will most likely develop as the tank is used more. Liners are manufactured oversize to allow for any change in the shape of the tank shell, and liners will last for a period of approximately 15 years (depending on the quality of the material being used).

Time to get your Swimming Pool Ready 2 simple things you should do with any swimming pool


LOGO
Winter is definitely gone and summer is soon to be here. If you have a Pool Cover  now is the time to prepare it for the heavy use of summer. There is nothing like the joy that having a swimming pool in your own backyard can bring. Not only can you cool down on hot days, but they enhance the look of your backyard. But swimming pools can be expensive to maintain, especially when the chemistry gets out of balance. Before you dive on in, thereThese are 2 basic things you can do to maintain a healthy swimming pool and reduce the time you looking after it.

Chemical Balance:

The most important aspect of any swimming pool is to keep all the chemicals in check and at optimum levels. Maintenance need not be time consuming either, and should only take a few minutes each day. To ensure the right pool chemical balance,

Daily (around 5mins when all is good with the pool)
  1. check that the water is crystal clear
  2. check there is no build up of algae. Especially check around ‘dead’ areas like pool steps where water flow isn’t as great.
  3. check there is a good flow from the water jets
  4. check there is a good flow of water in the skimmer
  5. check there is no excess leaves or other debris in the pool
  6. make sure there is correct pressure in the pool filter
Twice A Week (around 30 mins)
  1. measure chlorine, pH and stabiliser levels
  2. clean out the skimmer
  3. brush the sides and bottom of the pool
Weekly
  1. dose of phosphate remover
 Monthly
  1. professional check on water levels by local pool shop
Regular maintenance will prevent the need for pool “shocking” and actually save you a lot of time in the long run buy addressing problems before they get out of hand. When the pool balance gets too far out and you have to pool “Shock”, you have to wait at least 1 day before you can swim, so regular checking of chemical levels means your pool is not only always ready for fun, but your chemical usage is at its minimum (which is good for your health too!). A quick brush of the pool surface once or twice a week also removes build up more easily that if it is left harden over time.

Fabric Solutions Provide Cost Effective Pool Cover

Pool Cover are a great addition to a pool, making maintenance easier and cheaper. By looking after your pool cover you can maximize its useful lifespan and get the most out of your pool.

Once you have worked out the best solution for what you want to do, and have installed it, make sure to adjust any chemical settings as needed. Water quality and conditions can vary greatly from place to place, so consult with your local pool shop. They are usually best to advise for the area that you live in. Managing your chemical levels is quite import as evaporation rates and the amount of UV entering the pool drops. This means there is less chlorine breakdown, so you don’t need as much. Too much chlorine will also affect your pool cover, shortening its useful lifespan. In fact too much chlorine will have a bigger effect on a pool blanket than UV exposure.

The last part to consider is how you store you pool cover. This is an important part that many people overlook. Ideally your pool cover is stored on a roller with its own supplied cover. This keeps it away from the weather, sun as well as protecting it. It also makes it a lot easier to remove and install the pool cover and you are less likely to damage it. If you can’t afford a pool cover, you should try to dry your cover as much as possible before folding it. Otherwise pool water becomes trapped inside the folders. Also store the pool cover away from sunlight and weather in a place that it won’t get bumped.

General Pond Location Considerations


LOGO
After the chilly months of winter, now Spring is here and the weather is warming up, now is the perfect time to get back into the garden. The first thing to do is tidy up and get rid of the winter weeds. Then you can consider planting flowers, growing vegetable or even adding in small aquatic pond.

Ponds are a great way to an attractive feature to a garden and can be as small or as large as you want. Here are a few tips to make sure you get the most from your pond.

General Pond Safety Considerations

Although ponds are very simple, you should still check with your local council on any regulations that may be in place. There may be restrictions on the maximum depth etc. Also it is always prudent to check that there are no pipes underneath where you want to dig, especially if you are going to use an excavator.

General Pond Location Considerations

As with anything to do with real-estate, its all about location, location, location. So when deciding where to put your pond, consider these factors;

  1. Ensure that the area receives the ideal amount of at least 6 hours of sunlight a day, as this is best for flowers and plants.
  1. Avoid putting a pond under tree(s) as they will collect leaves easily, adding organic matter to the pond and driving algae growth. Trees do provide shade to aquatic life though. So if you do want trees next to your pond, make sure you choose carefully as some trees are also poisonous to ponds..
  1. Tree root systems can also have the potential to damage pond liners.
  1. Avoid designs that allow water to drain into your pond directly, and avoid positioning a pond in drainage paths.
  1. To save on water you can connect your pond as part of your rainwater system.
  1. Water that drains out of your pond should always drain away from your house.
When choosing a material, consider the temperate range where you will install, and how long you intend to have the pond for. EPDM is a great choice, but you don’t need a liner that will last 30 years if you are only renting a house for a little while! And likewise don’t use PVC if you are making an aquatic pond such as a koi pond.

When the pool balance gets too far out and you have to pool “Shock”, you have to wait at least 1 day before you can swim, so regular checking of chemical levels means your pool is not only always ready for fun, but your chemical usage is at its minimum (which is good for your health too!). A quick brush of the pool surface once or twice a week also removes build up more easily that if it is left harden over time. Inground or aboveground there are lot of patterns available and they are custom made to fit your pool exactly.

For many aboveground pools, they are pretty simple to measure and nearly all are made to a standard size. Even better for the DIY person is that with a bit of care its not too hard to install one yourself.

Inground pools are a different matter though. Nearly all inground pools are custom made, so no two are the same. The installer will use a special 3D measuring tool to measure the exact shape of the pool shell. This is then feed into a computer, which will pattern a new liner. This liner then needs to be installed by a professional crew in order to ensure a perfect fit that will last the longest.

Use a Pool Cover: Debris entering the pool is one of the largest sources of contaminants (the other being the people who swim in it!). So when not in use, cover the pool with a pool blanket. Besides eliminating a lot of debris, there are many other benefits to a pool cover that make them a cost effective choice, including;
1.    reduces chemical usage, this is mandatory too! When the levels are too high, they can damage the pool cover.
2.    traps heat in winter, making the pool warmer by up to 8oC
3.    helps keep dust and debris out, which means you pool is cleaner for longer
4.    significantly reduces water evaporation


There are a number of differences in pool blankets, the biggest being the quality. But the basic rule of thumb is that the thinner the pool blanket, the shorter the lifespan. A pool blankets thickness is measured in microns and typically come in 400, 500 and 600 micron thicknesses. Always when installing, make sure the pool cover is installed bubble side down. Higher end pool blankets will also have some sort of thermal insulation. You should also consider a pool roller system, as they are the easiest way to store and care for your pool blanket when not in use.
