Detailed Technical Specifications for Horizontal Zamal Tanks (400 Liters)
The 400-liter horizontal Zamal tank is more than just a storage vessel; it is an investment in water sustainability under our intense heat.
This model features a precise engineering design that ensures uniform pressure distribution, significantly extending the tank's lifespan compared to cheap alternatives. The primary material is high-density polyethylene, which withstands temperatures up to 60 degrees Celsius without losing flexibility or cracking under the direct impact of summer sunlight in Saudi Arabia.
Physical dimensions designed to fit tight spaces:
- Capacity: 400 liters (precise).
- Total Length: 100 centimeters.
- Width: 77 centimeters, facilitating passage through standard doors.
- Height: Ranges between 84 and 88 centimeters depending on the packing angle.
- Wall Thickness: 7.0 cm, enhancing thermal insulation and reducing cooling costs.
When buying a horizontal Zamal tank, ensure you select versions with a double-layer foam insulation. Studies conducted in the climates of Riyadh and Dammam have proven that this casing lowers the internal water temperature by an average of 5 to 8 degrees Celsius compared to standard tanks.
Why Choose Horizontal Over Mudbrick or Iron?
As an expert in the construction field, I observe that customers always ask: What is the difference between a horizontal Zamal tank and traditional alternatives?
Mudbrick: While clay walls provide natural insulation, they are unsuitable for modern projects requiring rapid installation. Installing a horizontal Zamal tank takes only a few hours, whereas building a mudbrick wall may take weeks and consume significant water. Additionally, horizontal Zamal tanks are lightweight, reducing the load on foundations.
Iron: Iron tanks are prone to rusting in a high-humidity environment (such as Jeddah), which damages drinking water. Polyethylene is chemically inert and antibacterial, ensuring water purity for up to a decade without the need for internal chemical treatment.
How to Protect Your Home from Heatwaves?
During the summer season, temperatures in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia can rise to 48 degrees Celsius. This thermal stress quickly degrades cheap materials.
The horizontal Zamal tank is specifically designed for this challenge. The top layer of polyethylene reflects sunlight, while the inner layers prevent heat transfer. The result? Significant savings on the electricity bill for water cooling, especially if the tank is filled with cold water or connected to a cooling system.
At Matkal, we understand that quality is the key to safety. Therefore, when buying a horizontal Zamal tank from an official distributor, you are guaranteed to receive a product bearing Saudi Standards (SASO) certification and UV resistance.
