Overhead Tanks

Overhead Tanks - Buy Ashirvad Overhead Water Tanks & Storage Tanks for Home Online

The overhead water tank is the quiet backbone of a home's water supply - the reservoir that stores water and, sitting above the taps, delivers it to every fixture by gravity. A good tank stores water safely, keeps it clean, and withstands sun and weather for years; a poor one degrades, discolours the water and cracks. At Fixxly, our overhead tanks range is built entirely on Ashirvad - the water storage tanks and loft tanks homes rely on, in the capacities that suit households. This guide explains how overhead tanks work, how to choose the right capacity and type, and how to keep stored water clean.

What is an overhead water tank and how does it work?

An overhead water tank is a storage tank installed at a height that stores the home's water and supplies it to the taps and fixtures below by gravity. Fixxly stocks the genuine Ashirvad tank range, engineered for exactly this reliable, gravity-fed role. Water is pumped up from the source into the tank, and from there it flows down to every outlet under gravity pressure, without needing a pump to run each time you open a tap.

How to choose the right tank capacity

• Small household: a modest-capacity Ashirvad tank covers daily needs where supply is reliable.
• Average family home: a larger capacity provides a comfortable buffer for cooking, bathing, washing and cleaning.
• Larger households or unreliable supply: size up the capacity so there is enough stored water to bridge interruptions.

Tank materials and construction

Ashirvad overhead tanks use durable, multi-layer plastic construction, including a layer that blocks sunlight to prevent algae growth inside the tank. A food-grade inner surface keeps the water safe, and robust construction resists cracking and the effects of UV over years of rooftop exposure.

Keeping stored water clean

Because an overhead tank stores water that the household drinks and uses, keeping that water clean is important. Ashirvad's light-blocking construction prevents the algae growth that sunlight would otherwise encourage, and a properly fitting lid keeps out dust, insects and contaminants.

How gravity supply makes overhead tanks reliable

The overhead water tank works on a simple, dependable principle: installed at a height, it stores water and supplies it to the taps and fixtures below by gravity, without needing a pump to run each time a tap is opened. Because it does not rely on a pump running continuously, an Ashirvad tank keeps supplying water even during power cuts.

Frequently asked questions

Does Fixxly stock genuine Ashirvad overhead tanks?

Yes - every overhead tank on Fixxly in this range is genuine Ashirvad, a leading Indian manufacturer of plumbing and water storage products.

What size overhead tank do I need?

The capacity should match the household size and how reliable the supply is: a modest tank suits a small home with reliable supply, while larger families or unreliable supply need more capacity to bridge interruptions.

Why do some tanks block sunlight?

Sunlight entering a tank encourages algae growth in the stored water, so Ashirvad tanks use a layer that blocks sunlight to keep the water cleaner.
