Tank Installation

Understanding Tanks for Irrigation

Tanks are large storage containers designed to hold water for later use, particularly in irrigation applications. These tanks are installed below ground, depending on the property layout, space availability, and desired aesthetics. Typically, one or two 1500 gallon are buried near the well. We install a pump in the well to supply the tank, and there is also a tank installed in the underground tank that supplies the demand. The tanks have a float system that gives notice to the well pump when to fill the tank. This is a great solution for a low producing well that needs to meet a very high demand.

For properties in North Georgia, tanks offer several advantages. They help reduce the load on wells, minimize reliance on municipal water systems, and ensure that irrigation systems have continuous access to water when needed. Whether you manage a small garden or operate a larger commercial landscape, a well-planned tank system enhances efficiency and water management.

Tank Installation Process

Installing a tank begins with a thorough assessment of the property’s irrigation needs and the available water sources. Our team works closely with property owners to determine the ideal tank size, material, and placement. Considerations include the total irrigation area, the frequency of watering, and the compatibility of the tank system with existing wells or water lines.

Once the design is finalized, the installation process includes preparing the site by leveling the ground or excavating for underground placement. The tank is then positioned securely, with careful attention to structural stability and access for future maintenance. Plumbing connections are established to link the tank to the irrigation system, ensuring seamless water delivery. Additional components such as pumps, filters, and controls may be installed as needed to regulate flow and maintain water quality.

Integration with Irrigation Systems

A tank installation is only effective when properly integrated with the irrigation network. Bolton Well and Pump ensures that all system connections are expertly configured to supply water to sprinklers, drip lines, or other irrigation components. We also address any necessary adjustments to the system’s pump or pressure regulators to accommodate the new water source.

Electrical connections are another important aspect, particularly when the tank system includes powered pumps or automated controls. Our team handles these setups carefully, ensuring all components are safely wired and functional. The result is an efficient, fully integrated irrigation system that draws on stored water whenever needed.
