Capacity--In residential use or industrial fire protec- <br />tion service requirements generally specify elevated <br />storage tanks to stabilize water pressure or for a re- <br />serve supply. These tanks may range in size from <br />50,000 gallons to 3,000,000 gallons capacity. <br /> Municipalities may require larger storage volume as <br />a reserve supply only. Storage tanks over 3,000,000 <br />gallons are generally standpipes or reservoirs. <br /> In all cases the tank capacity should be of sufficient <br /> <br />Cover <br />Large photo: Poinciana, FL 500.000 Gallon HydroPillar <br />Small photo, top: Piano, TX 1.500,000 Gallon ToroSpherical <br />Small photo, bottom: Lawrence, KS 1.500.000 Gallon Stand P~pe <br /> <br />volume to take care of the foreseeable future as well <br />as present needs. <br />2. Head Range--Head range or tank shell height sets <br />the range of pressure in the water system and has an <br />effect on operating costs in an efficient pumping Op- <br />eration. Quite naturally an elevated tank maintains a <br />more constant pressure whereas a standpipe or reser- <br />voir will produce a gradual reduction of pressure as <br />the volume is used. <br />3. Appearance--Water storage tanks usually are promi- <br />nent landmarks. Therefore care should be given Io <br />making them complementary with the surrounding <br />areas. <br />4. Cost--As in any project the customer's needs must <br />be within the guidelines of his financial capabilities. <br /> Regardless of features required, PDM HYDROSTOR- <br />AGE, INC. can supply a wide range of capacities, sizes <br />and configurations in standard and special designs to <br />meet your specifications at an economical price. <br /> <br />Right: Springfield, IL 1.000.000 Gallo~ Pedestal Sphero,d <br /> <br />Iowa City.
