Edwards Fiberglass discusses food grade water storage containers.

In the fast-paced world of restaurants, clean, safe water is an essential ingredient. From brewing coffee to washing dishes,the quality of your water directly impacts your food and beverage service. That's why having a reliable food grade water storage container is crucial. But with so many options available, choosing the right tank can feel overwhelming.


This blog post will guide you through the key factors to consider when selecting food-grade water storage containers for your restaurant. We'll cover everything from material and size to features and regulations, ensuring you make an informed decision for your business.


Why Food Grade Water Storage Containers Matter


Regular tap water may contain impurities like chlorine or minerals that can affect the taste and quality of your food and drinks. For example, hard water can make coffee taste bitter, while chlorine can alter the flavor of brewed tea.


Food grade water storage containers provide a dedicated space to store water that's been treated or filtered. This ensures consistent quality and taste for your customers.


Choosing the Right Material


The material of your water storage container is a critical decision. Here are the two most common options for restaurants:


  • Stainless Steel: A popular choice for its durability and ease of cleaning. Stainless steel tanks are resistant to rust and corrosion, making them ideal for long-term use. However, they can be more expensive than other options.

  • Food-Grade Fiberglass: Fiberglass tanks offer a strong and lightweight alternative to stainless steel. They are also resistant to corrosion and chemicals, making them suitable for storing treated or filtered water. Additionally, fiberglass tanks are often more affordable than stainless steel options.

Important Considerations When Choosing Your Tank


Here are some key factors to keep in mind as you narrow down your choices:


Size: Consider your daily water usage. How much water do you typically go through in a day? Factor in peak hours when you might need more water readily available. It's generally better to choose a slightly larger tank than you think you'll need to avoid running out during busy periods.


Location: Where will you be storing the tank? Will it be indoors in a cool, controlled environment, or outdoors exposed to the elements? Some materials, like stainless steel, may be better suited for outdoor storage than others.


Features: Think about the features that would be most beneficial for your operation. Do you need a tank with a level indicator to monitor water levels easily? Would a vented lid be helpful to prevent pressure buildup? Certain features can add convenience and efficiency to your water storage process.


Regulations: Check with your local health department to ensure the water storage containers you choose meet all the necessary regulations for food safety.
