What is NSF/ANSI 61 Certification?

NSF/ANSI 61 is a set of standards developed by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to ensure that materials in contact with drinking water do not affect the water's quality, safety, or taste. NSF/ANSI 61 Certification specifically evaluates products for their non-toxicity, safety, and compliance with water quality standards for potable water storage systems.

When a product carries the NSF/ANSI 61 certification, it means that it has been rigorously tested and proven to be safe for drinking water applications, ensuring that it does not introduce harmful contaminants into the water stored within it. For Glass Fused to Steel Municipal Water Tanks, this certification ensures that the materials used in their construction—including the glass enamel coating and steel components—are safe, durable, and reliable for potable water storage.

Why Glass Fused to Steel Tanks are the Ideal Solution for Municipal Water Storage

1. Proven Safety and Certification

The NSF/ANSI 61 Certification is a critical factor in ensuring that the water stored in Glass Fused to Steel Municipal Water Tanks is safe for human consumption. The certification process involves thorough testing of the tank’s materials to ensure that no harmful chemicals or contaminants leach into the water.

Non-toxic materials: The glass coating used in GFS tanks is non-toxic and does not interact with the water in any harmful way.

Certified safe: With NSF/ANSI 61 certification, our tanks are verified to be safe for municipal water systems, providing peace of mind to utilities and communities.

2. Durability and Corrosion Resistance

Glass Fused to Steel Tanks are known for their exceptional corrosion resistance, thanks to the glass enamel coating that fuses with the steel at high temperatures. This unique process creates a smooth, non-porous surface that prevents rust, scaling, and other forms of corrosion, ensuring the tank’s longevity and reducing the need for frequent maintenance.

Corrosion-resistant: The glass enamel coating forms a barrier that protects the steel from rust and corrosion, even when exposed to harsh chemicals or water conditions.

Long-lasting: GFS tanks can withstand exposure to extreme weather conditions, chemicals, and UV radiation, making them a durable and cost-effective choice for municipal water storage.

3. Preservation of Water Quality

Maintaining high water quality is critical in municipal water storage systems. Glass Fused to Steel Tanks are designed to maintain the purity of the stored water by preventing contamination from external elements, as well as ensuring that no harmful substances are released into the water.

Smooth, non-porous surface: The smooth interior surface of the tank minimizes the growth of bacteria, algae, and other contaminants that could affect water quality.

No leaching: Thanks to the NSF/ANSI 61 certified materials, the GFS tanks ensure that the water remains free from chemicals, odors, or taste contamination.

4. Low Maintenance Requirements

Municipal water systems require storage solutions that are low-maintenance yet reliable. Glass Fused to Steel Tanks are ideal for this purpose because they require minimal upkeep while providing long-term performance. The corrosion-resistant enamel coating reduces the need for frequent repairs and cleaning.

Reduced cleaning frequency: The smooth glass enamel surface prevents debris and biological growth, making cleaning and maintenance easier and less frequent.

Cost-effective operation: With minimal maintenance required, municipalities save on both operational costs and labor, making GFS tanks a cost-effective water storage solution.

5. Customizable to Meet Municipal Needs

Center Enamel offers customizable designs for Glass Fused to Steel Municipal Water Tanks, ensuring that the tanks are optimized for specific municipal requirements. From small-scale tanks to large-scale storage systems, our tanks can be tailored to meet the exact needs of each water project.

Additional features: Custom options include roof designs, accessory installations, and tank finishes that can enhance functionality and aesthetics.

6. Environmentally Friendly

Glass Fused to Steel Tanks are not only durable and safe, but they are also environmentally friendly. The materials used in the construction of our tanks are recyclable, reducing the environmental impact at the end of the tank’s life cycle.

Eco-friendly materials: The GFS coating is made from non-toxic materials that do not harm the environment, ensuring that the water remains uncontaminated and safe for consumption.

Recyclable tank components: The steel and glass materials used in Glass Fused to Steel Tanks are 100% recyclable, contributing to sustainability efforts and reducing waste.

7. Seismic and Wind Resistance

Municipalities in areas prone to natural disasters, such as earthquakes or high winds, need water storage tanks that can withstand such conditions. Glass Fused to Steel Tanks are engineered for seismic and wind resistance, ensuring that they remain functional even in the most challenging environments.

Earthquake-resistant: The bolted design of our tanks allows for flexibility and stability during seismic activity, ensuring that the tank remains intact and operational during earthquakes.

Wind-resistant: The tanks are also designed to resist high winds, making them a reliable storage solution for municipalities located in storm-prone regions.
