| Hygiene | Excellent, high resistance to bacteria growth and algae formation. | Bacteria growth and algae formation occurs easily. | Prone to bacteria growth and algae formation. | Low resistance to bacteria growth and algae formation. |
|---|
| Water Quality | Clean water is maintained; engineered design ensures complete manhole sealing to prevent any contamination. | Highly prone to dust contamination and insects entering into tank from various openings. | Prone to dust contamination and insects entering into tank due to improper sealing. | Prone to dust contamination and insects entering into tank through small openings. |
|---|
| Design Flexibility | High flexibility- tank shape and capacity can be fully customised depending on the location. | Average flexibility- shape can be customised but limited due to heavy weight and structural design of tank. | No flexibility- fixed circular shape. | No flexibility- fixed circular shape. |
|---|
| Portability | Innovative design allows even large capacity tanks to be safely transported over long distances. | Not possible to transport due to one-piece design - must be installed at site. | Difficult to transport due to bulky one-piece design. | Transportation is not possible because tank panels may deform during dismantling and relocation. |
|---|
| Relocation | Designed for easy disassembly, portability, relocation and re-installation at new location. | Not possible. | Impractical to relocate due to one-piece design. | Not possible. |
|---|
| Leakage Resistance | Unique design can handle high water pressure and high resistance to leakages. | Cracks develop in structure causing leakages over time. | Water pressure and external conditions can easily break down fragile material. | Corrosion occurs over time leading to cracks and leakages. |
|---|
| UV Resistance | Highly resistant. | Good UV resistance. | Low UV resistance weakens tank structure over time. | Good UV resistance but high thermal conductivity and chlorides at bottom create unsafe conditions. |
|---|
| Strength and Durability | Excellent compression, tension, flexural strength allows for high durability. | Good initial strength but cracks develop over time. | Low strength and durability, easily prone to getting damaged. | Average compression, tension, flexural strength. |
|---|
| Internal Tank Partition | Fully customisable and changeable partitions possible depending on application. | High initial cost and cannot change partitions in future. | Not possible. | Not possible. |
|---|
| Repairing | In case of accidental damage, the damaged panel can be easily replaced using basic tools. | Temporary repairing possible but not a permanent solution. | Cannot be repaired and must be replaced once damaged. | Repairs require special equipment and skilled manpower. |
|---|
| Maintenance | Not required. | Regular patchwork and plastering are required to control cracks. | In case of damage, the tank has to be replaced. | Special tools and manpower required for maintenance. |
|---|
| Drainage | Unique design allows 100% drainage. | Complete drainage is not possible, leading to contamination of incoming water. | Complete drainage is not possible, leading to contamination of incoming water. | Complete drainage is not possible, leading to contamination of incoming water. |
