📏 How to Choose the Right Tank Size for Your Water Storage Needs
Choosing the right fiberglass (FRP or GRP) tank size can reduce water shortages, avoid waste, and lower installation costs.
At AL RAGHEEDH, we help clients across Saudi Arabia make smart tank sizing decisions for homes, buildings, farms, and industrial sites.
💧 Step 1: Estimate Your Daily Usage
The first step is understanding how much water you use each day.
🔹 Residential Use
- 🧍 ~150 to 250 liters per person per day
- 🏠 A family of 5 typically uses ~1000 liters/day
🔹 Offices
- 🧑💼 ~40 to 60 liters per employee
🔹 Farms / Industrial
- Varies depending on usage patterns or crop types
- Our team can help calculate precise volumes
🧠 Step 2: Add a Safety Buffer
To ensure uninterrupted supply, plan for double your daily usage:
Example:
If your estimated daily need is 1000 liters, go with a 2000-liter tank for safety.
This protects you during:
- Supply interruptions
- Pump failures
- High-demand periods (like summer)
🏗️ Step 3: Match the Tank to Your Property Type
Here’s a general guide for choosing capacity:
- 🏡 Small homes or villas: 1000–3000 liters
- 🏢 Apartment blocks or businesses: 5000–10,000 liters
- 🚜 Farms & commercial sites: 10,000 liters and above
- 🏭 Industrial applications: 20,000–100,000+ liters
Not sure what fits your layout or pressure system? We can help with site-based recommendations.
🧪 Chemical or Diesel Storage?
Storing diesel, acids, or chemical wastewater?
Then you need more than just volume:
- ✅ Correct FRP resin types
- ✅ Thickness rated for pressure/contents
- ✅ Venting, bunds, or fire-retardant options
We manufacture custom-engineered chemical storage tanks that meet Saudi industry standards.
