GRP Water Tank Replacement in Hatfield

Recently we completed a GRP Water Tank Replacement for a gym in Hatfield.

Our client required their Swimming Pool Balance tank to be replaced which is a vital component in many types of swimming pools. Particularly, these would be found in large and more advanced swimming pools.

Echo Square Services removed the old tank and installed the new one. Then we filled and disinfected the tank before putting the tank into operation.

The system was disinfected to a specification meeting the requirements of BS8558:2015 and PD855486:2015

What is a Swimming Pool Balance Tank?

Also simply known as a balance tank or surge tank, this vital component primarily regulates the water level. By doing this, a balance tank also maintains a balanced flow of water.

The Importance of a Balance Tank

While the above states the primary purpose of a swimming pool balance tank, let’s go into more detail about the importance of one.

Water Level Regulation

Usually located adjacent to or connected to the main swimming pool. The balance tank acts as a reservoir that collects excess water that overflows from the pool due to swimmers’ movements, splashing, or other factors. This excess water is temporarily stored in the balance tank until it can be reintroduced back into the pool.

Preventing Overflow

When swimmers enter the pool, they displace water, causing the water level to rise. Without a balance tank, the water level could rise to a point where it starts overflowing from the pool’s edges. The balance tank helps prevent this by providing a space for the excess water to collect, avoiding overflow and maintaining a safe water level.

Maintaining Water Quality

The balance tank also plays a crucial role in maintaining water quality. As swimmers move in the pool, they introduce debris, body oils, sunscreen, and other contaminants into the water. The balance tank serves as a collection point for some of these contaminants, preventing them from recirculating directly into the main pool and allowing the pool’s filtration and treatment systems to more effectively remove them.

Even Water Flow

The balance tank helps to ensure a consistent and even flow of water within the pool. When swimmers create waves or disturbances in the water, the excess water is temporarily diverted to the balance tank. This helps prevent turbulent water conditions in the main pool, making it more enjoyable for swimmers and aiding in pool maintenance.

Hydraulic Stability

In larger pools or pools with complex water features like waterfalls, fountains, or jets, the balance tank assists in maintaining hydraulic stability. These features can cause water surges and fluctuations in the pool’s water level. The balance tank helps absorb and regulate these surges, preventing damage to pool infrastructure and providing a safer and more controlled environment.

To conclude, a balance tank acts as a buffer for the swimming pool. This helps manage the water level and maintains the overall functionality of the pool. It is a key element for pools especially those designed for competitive swimming.

We manage a large residential block and recently reached out to Echo to quote to reline two water tanks that were failing. An absolute fantastic service all round. A quote was received within a day or so. Works were booked in and communication was excellent. We were really impressed with the engineers on the day. They communicated well on the day in terms of the plan of action. Once the work was complete, they ensured all areas were left clean and tidy. A follow up report post works was sent very soon after the works.We look forward to working with Echo again. If you need honest, reliable contractors who will get the job done and to a high a standard, don't hesitate to get in touch with them.Thank you.

I contacted Echo Square on behalf of a client of mine who urgently needed her Victorian underground Cistern re lined. The work was quoted for promptly and the work carried out to a high standard by the engineers who were courteous and friendly despite their long drive to site. My client was very impressed and so grateful to have her Cistern back in working order. I would highly recommend this company and will most definitely approach them again should I have another client with tank issues in the future. 5 star service!

Having used other companies in the past I can wholeheartedly say that our dealings with Nationwide Tank Relining have been a breath of fresh air. We have had tanks relined, water hygiene assessments and floor coatings. All work was carried out in a timely manner and the quality of work has each and every time been exemplary. My bosses are thrilled with my decision to switch to Nationwide Tank Relining and a tank that was relined 10 years ago by them still looks good as new internally, and the money we've saved from choosing the right supplier has proven to be a very smart business move. Highly recommended!
