| − | Farm tanks have different features, depending on purpose and usage. For instance, cup and saucer Clark tanks, popularly used for animal husbandry, have additions such as a float, manhole cover, elbow, and drain bung and outlet. Molasses tanks on the other hand, are built in a simple but sturdy seamless design since they are primarily used for water storage.

| − | What the owner did was construct two walls on the cover with sawdust between the walls. The other water tank does not freeze because the insulation was constructed using ordinary building tiles laid five inches in thickness. Both of these walls run to the bottom of the foundation, which is about three feet below the ground.

| − | The tank has no other protection except for a cover made of reinforced hollow tile and concrete with three openings for the animals to drink from. Thin crusts of ice were found to develop around these openings but they can be easily cracked using the fingers. The process of condensation is prevented from occurring if the walls of the tanks are built in this manner.

| − | Natural insulation comes with the construction of underground tanks at minimal cost. If the same tank was to be built above the ground, the possibility of freezing would significantly increase.

| − | The outside wall need not be treated in this manner. Expanding sheets of ice are pushed upward and the pressure on the walls of the tank is diffused due to the wider width of the tank's top interior. This is a point made to us by the northern Iowa farmer who has all concrete tanks on his farm.

| − | The best cover for tanks according to the farmer who owns the hollow tile tank, is a cover made of reinforced hollow building tiles and concrete. This structure is able to prevent the formation of frosty air in winter or hot air in summer because of its thick and permanent composition. Transmission of heat and cold is prevented by the dead air space present in the tile.

| − | The need to have a water storage tank can be as simple as wanting to store rain water or it can be necessary to the lives that depend upon it for their supply of clean, fresh, and bacteria free water. Whatever the reasons for a water tank, the design that will store the supply is very complex and depends on several factors. Water tank design relies heavily on size and use, as well as, materials that are to be used in construction. Tanks are constructed of steel, concrete, and fiberglass. The diameter and height of the tank determines the amount of water that can be stored.

| − | There are three types of water tanks:
| |
| − | | |
| − | • Elevated
| |
| − | • Ground level
| |
| − | • Underground

| − | The elevated tank is seen most often in townships or cities, while ground level and underground tanks are used more-often for individual homes and farms. Elevated tanks are designed to stand above the ground on foundations of steel and concrete. The higher the elevation, the more PSI the tank will have, with every foot in height adding 0.43 PSI.
