some interesting facts abt water tanks installation

for past few weeks, we have been working like crazy for the water tank matters, checking around for the regulation concerning installing new waters, negotiating with vendor abt the trade in price for our existing tanks, even talked to him to see possible to install bigger tanks for our blk k (bigger than the unit quoted by him earlier), also try to anticipate possible situation during the installation of bew water tank....

after talking to experts & relevant authorities, some interesting facts like to share with our beloved residents...

- PBA & other authorities don't have right to instruct us what kind of tank or the volume of the tank we are going to install, at first we were quite concern abt do we need their approval for project like this, but after checking with few dept, we found it's MC & residents' right to choose what type (and size) of tank they want to use.

- the size of the tanks is not as important as the performance of the water pump in regard of making sure continuing supply of water to our residents, earlier on we did have concern that the new tanks may not be big enough compare to the existing tank, but after talking to few specialists who are well verse in this line, they said as long as the pumps are running smoothly, then we should not worry too much abt the size of the tanks, but of course we still prefer bigger tank for blk k as more units there, so now we are still pushing vendor to provide bigger tanks for blk k, but it also depend on how much is the additional cost, if we can afford then we should go ahead with the idea.

- fiberglass tank is consider new idea in Penang, at first we thought many apartments have already installed fiberglass tank, because recently we heard a lot abt this, but as we check around wish to see the real fiberglass tank, we found out so far only one apartment project in Jelutong has done so, most of the apartment in Penang still using the the traditional steer type or PV type, anywhere we were told by the vendor & our specialist that fiberglass tank are equally good as steer type, haha...hope so :)

still many things need to be finalized before the installation take place, this is to make sure smooth process when the work is commenced, for this is a big project indeed.

thanks.
