Introduction

Balance tanks are a key component in closed water circulation systems, ensuring stable operation and energy efficiency. Our tanks are manufactured from polypropylene (PP), a highly durable thermoplastic approved by the Israeli Ministry of Health for contact with potable water. The combination of advanced material properties and precise engineering design ensures long-lasting and reliable performance, even under demanding conditions.

Purpose and Applications of Balance Tanks

Balance tanks serve to stabilize water volumes in circulation systems, such as public swimming pools, industrial filtration systems, and water treatment plants. When water volume fluctuates due to evaporation, user load, or pump cycles, the balance tank absorbs these variations. As a result, pumps and filtration units operate smoothly, system downtime is minimized, and water quality remains consistent.

Key Advantages of Polypropylene Balance Tanks

Polypropylene is one of the most suitable materials for water applications due to its resistance to chemicals, corrosion, and chlorine. Our balance tanks offer:

  • Full resistance to corrosion, chlorine, and high humidity
  • Minimal maintenance requirements with no need for coatings or repairs
  • Full project customization: integration of floats, inlet/outlet connections, covers, and service openings
  • On-site manufacturing option, ideal for confined machine rooms or inaccessible locations

On-Site Production and Installation

One unique advantage of our balance tanks is the ability to fabricate and assemble them directly on-site. In facilities where pre-fabricated tanks cannot be transported into machine rooms or restricted spaces, modular construction ensures a perfect fit and seamless integration.

Typical Applications

  • Private and public swimming pools
  • Aquatic parks and recreational water facilities
  • Industrial water circulation systems
  • Water treatment and filtration plants

Conclusion

Polypropylene (PP) balance tanks are a reliable, durable, and efficient solution for maintaining operational stability in water circulation systems. With corrosion and chlorine resistance, customized manufacturing, and the option for on-site installation, they are an excellent choice for both new projects and system upgrades.

Questions and Answers About המאמר

What is the role of a balance tank?

A balance tank stabilizes water volumes in a circulation system by absorbing sudden fluctuations. This ensures continuous pump and filter operation, prevents system overload, and extends the overall service life of the installation.

Why choose polypropylene (PP) for balance tanks?

Polypropylene is a thermoplastic with excellent resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and chlorine. Unlike metals, it does not corrode, requires minimal maintenance, and performs reliably in humid environments. Moreover, it is approved for direct water contact by health authorities, making it ideal for public and industrial systems.

Can balance tanks be customized?

Yes. Balance tanks can be manufactured in various sizes with specific inlet/outlet diameters. Accessories such as floats, inspection covers, and service openings can be integrated. For sites with limited space, tanks can be built directly inside the machine room.

 

What is the expected lifespan of a polypropylene balance tank?

Due to its high durability, a PP balance tank can last for decades, even in environments with constant chlorine exposure and high humidity. Maintenance is typically limited to periodic cleaning, not material degradation.

Can balance tanks be added to existing systems?

Absolutely. A balance tank can be integrated into older or undersized water systems to improve stability, reduce wear on pumps, and ensure efficient filtration.

Are balance tanks only suitable for swimming pools?

No. While swimming pools are a common use case, balance tanks are also widely used in industrial water circulation, water treatment facilities, and public water systems.
