Palovesisäiliö

Palovesisäiliö, also known as a fire water tank or fire hydrant storage tank, is a crucial component of a building's fire suppression system. Its primary purpose is to store a reserve of water that can be used by the fire department or an automatic sprinkler system in the event of a fire. This stored water ensures that an adequate supply is available even if the municipal water pressure is insufficient or if the main water supply is disrupted.

These tanks can be constructed from various materials, including concrete, steel, or fiberglass, and can be located above ground, below ground, or integrated into the building's structure. The size and capacity of a palovesisäiliö are determined by local building codes, the size and occupancy of the building, and the potential fire risk. Regular inspection and maintenance are essential to ensure the tank is always full, free of debris, and its pumping mechanisms are functioning correctly. Without a reliable palovesisäiliö, the effectiveness of fire fighting efforts can be severely compromised, leading to greater property damage and increased risk to life.
