Air Vents for Plastic Water Tanks

Air Vents (Breather Valve) for Plastic Water Tanks

It is important to install an Air Vent (Air Breather Valve) on a plastic water tank to ensure that the air in the tank is constantly replenished. This is necessary for several reasons.

When water is pumped into the tank, air inside the tank is displaced and needs to escape. If this air is not allowed to escape, it can create pressure inside the tank, causing damage to the tank and the plumbing system. In extreme cases, the tank can even rupture, causing water damage to the surrounding area.

Similarly, as water is drawn from the tank, air needs to enter the tank to fill the empty space and prevent a vacuum from forming. If air is not allowed to enter the tank, a vacuum can form inside the tank, causing damage to the tank and the plumbing system connected to it.

Another important benefit of installing an air vent or air breather valve on a plastic water storage tank is the prevention of mold, mildew, and bacterial growth. These contaminants can thrive in moist, warm environments and can negatively impact the quality of the stored water. An air vent or air breather valve allows air to circulate in and out of the tank, reducing the moisture level inside and preventing the growth of these contaminants. Additionally, circulating air can help to eliminate any odors that may develop in the tank over time.

Finally, an Air Vent helps to maintain the optimum atmospheric pressure in the tank. Low or high pressure levels can warp or inflate the tank leading to cracks and other damages. An Air Vent will help to ensure that the atmospheric pressure remains optimum, thus helping to keep the tank in good condition.

Overall, it is essential to install an Air Vent (Air Breather) on a plastic water tank to ensure its proper operation and longevity.
