Both above-ground and underground water tanks play a crucial role in storing water for use in households, industries, and agriculture. The two types differ in terms of design, installation, and usage.

ถังน้ำใต้ดิน

General characteristics

• buried underground or under the building floor
• Often made from reinforced concrete, fiberglass, or corrosion-resistant materials
• Used for large water storage or in areas with space constraints for ground installation

​ข้อดี

• Space-saving on the ground, suitable for limited areas
• Protect against sunlight, heat, and temperature changes
• Reduce the risk of contamination from external environmental sources

Disadvantages

• Installation is more difficult; it requires labor and drilling equipment.
• Repairing and cleaning is difficult
• The installation cost is higher than that of an above-ground water tank.

Selection of Use

• Above-ground water tanks are suitable for use in general households, farms, or areas that require convenience in maintenance.
• Underground water tanks are suitable for buildings that need to save space or require large amounts of water storage, such as commercial buildings, factories, or large residential projects.
