In this section of the page you will also find a number of articles written by industry professionals and tips for resolving various technical challenges. It is worth regularly checking here, because we often add new products, remaining open to any questions and suggestions for additional topics. In any case, we encourage you to contact us, assuming that the content presented here is only an introduction to conversation and cooperation.
If you would like to read the operation and maintenance manual of Amargo Tank – contact us. We will send you the manual and discuss the most important points and guidelines. After making contact – Designers receive from us a complete set of data with descriptions for the design as well as dimensioned drawings and cross-sections.
Contact Amargo Experts – we will show you the legal basis (relevant regulations and guidelines) and advise you on how to correctly select the size of the potable water tank so as to ensure an adequate 12-hour water supply for the facility covered by the regulation (e.g. hospital, hospice, care centre, therapeutic centre, sanatorium). After the calculation, we will help in determining the dimensions of the tank – so that it can be built efficiently and without excessive construction work in one of the unused rooms.
Amargo experts are waiting for your contact – willing to provide you with help and support.
Ordinances of the Minister of Health describing guidelines on the required minimum amount of water for used storage tanks are available to the public. However, if you do not know the number of the current journal of laws or the entries are not clear enough for you, please contact Amargo. We will guide you through the thicket of legal acts and together we will select the optimal solution for providing an alternative backup water source in the event of a power outage of the municipal water supply system.
If you have a concept or a complete design for an internal water tank to work on, if you are wondering what solution to choose and whether in your case – despite narrow doors and corridors – you can build an internal tank – do not wait, contact Amargo. Describe your case, send building plans and expected capacity and tank dimensions. Amargo Experts will do the rest. They will determine how large components can be prefabricated in advance, and what scope of work should be carried out on site – by bringing the tank in the module elements and connecting on site. Amargo is able to make tanks, even passing through narrow corridors and doors, because individual elements of the tank walls are 2600*1000*51 mm and weigh only a few kilograms. The Amargo fitter will easily carry out work related to the tank siting and joining at the installation site.
Go to the Contact section and send a message.
The tank can be made in Amargo MultiPower AmargTANK technology in virtually any room. We have many projects in our portfolio implemented in narrow rooms, where the tank practically adheres to the walls of the room. All this is possible thanks to the modular construction of Amargo tanks and the use of panels with a chamber – panel structure as building material. Amargo technology allows the construction of tanks without the need for external steel reinforcements, thanks to which we manage to make maximum use of the space available.
If you want to get to know the details of Amargo technology – do not wait> make contact, and the Amargo Expert will present you the technology and help you determine the most adequate solution!
The correct selection of the pump / pressure system – cooperating with the Amargo non-pressure water supply tank – should be carried out by professionals and supported by an in-depth analysis of the structure of the water installation in the facility. The cross-sections of water pipes, installation length and number of fittings are important. On this basis, it is possible to calculate linear and local hydraulic resistances. With data on water consumption (and therefore the necessary capacity of the pump set), system losses and pressure at the end of the system – it is possible to properly choose the optimal pump set.
If you have any difficulties, questions or if you just want to outsource it to professionals and do other things yourself – don’t wait any longer! Contact Amargo Experts.
If you buy a tank from us – full data related to the selection of elements will be provided free of charge.
At Amargo, we pay extra attention to ensure that every element of the tank is of the highest quality. This idea is reflected in the Partnership approach in cooperation with Customers, also implemented in the field of a wide spectrum of quality control. Therefore, depending on the customer’s requirements and expectations, we carry out quality control in terms of both simple leakage tests (spark testing or water filling) as well as complex tests and protocols including post-production measurements, commissioning, tank and installation test run, as well as disinfection and bacteriological measurement of water (by external services like Sanitary and Epidemiological Service).
So contact Amargo Experts and specify your requirements and needs. We will find a solution and method.
At Amargo, we listen to customers and provide tailor-made solutions. We have the same approach when it comes to customer expectations regarding the leakage test method. We offer a modern, fast and efficient (without the need for flooding) leakage assessment method by using a high-class magneto with high voltage (several thousand volts and low current) and dielectric properties of materials.
However, if you are a traditionalist and require flooding the tank to full height with water and waiting the appropriate time with full filling – we can implement this variant as well.
Therefore, please specify your preferences and expectations – we will fulfil them to the full extent! You can find the contact in the form on the right or in the “CONTACT” tab.
Depending on the intended use of the tank and the agreed scope of delivery and assembly, Amargo provides partial or full scope of services. The full option is understood as delivery, assembly, commissioning, disinfection, flooding of the tank, sampling, bacteriological assessment of water by external units like the Sanitary and Epidemiological Service.
If you want to learn more – please contact Amargo Experts.
If you need ready drawings of the water tank in the popular CAD format (*.dwg) – contact us, we will provide you with the appropriate link to the data library or edit the tank drawing, adjusting the dimensions and equipment to your preferences, and then we will provide it to you. We are open to cooperation with Project Management Offices. We invite you to contact us.
We know that the lifetime of the potable water tank, but also the reduction of bacterial growth conditions – is extremely important. In order to limit the growth of bacteria – including those from the Legionella group – in stored water for drinking purposes, we have developed a unique solution. The Amargo tank system is first of all the use of a special material that is not a breeding ground for bacteria, the medium is not suitable for bacterial growth. Secondly, Amargo tanks are made of the MultiPower panel system – the tank walls also have great parameters in terms of thermal insulation, and as we know, the lack of increase in water temperature effectively inhibits the growth of bacterial strains.
If you want to get to know the details of Amargo solutions – make contact, Amargo Expert will familiarize you with the technical nuances of innovative Amargo tanks.
At Amargo, we approach each customer individually. At Amargo, the slogan about “tailor-made tanks” is not an empty slogan. Virtually every tank is different, has different dimensions, different connectors, siting.
The situation is similar when it comes to float valves at water supply to the tank from the municipal network. We have a number of solutions developed over years. Depending on the needs and possibilities of free space, we use float valves of many types, flange mounted and by means of threaded connectors. We use anti-vortex plates, separate covers preventing the formation of water waves in the tank, as well as superstructures above the tank cover, protecting the float valve.
Ask Amargo for advice – we won’t leave your case without a solution!
Depending on individual needs and preferences, we can provide either a tabular level gauge or a dry level gauge in a “tailor-made” Amargo tank. We can also use measuring probe and electronic indication systems which are also becoming increasingly popular.
Contact us, specify your expectations, and the Amargo Expert will prepare the optimal solution for you. When you buy an Amargo tank, all technical analyses, design studies and simulations are absolutely free of charge.
Amargo is definitely focused on extensive cooperation with a multitude of designers! Join the TANK Think Tank Designers club!
At Amargo, the range of measuring tools and devices used is almost unlimited. We use: tubular level gauges, dry string and float gauges, measuring probes, non-contact measurement: ultrasonic or radar and a number of other techniques.
The level reading can be provided to you locally or remotely, i.e. signal retransmission to another control or supervision site or computer system.
Describe your needs to us – Amargo Experts will find a solution for you!

The substrate for the Amargo water supply tank should have sufficient load capacity – there is no single answer. As a rule – based on data from Amargo Experts on the total weight of the tank together with water – the floor’s load-bearing capacity should be verified by the designer. Contact us with a question, we will guide you through the further process of arrangements so that it runs smoothly and professionally.
It is a separate matter to ensure a level surface – that is, the possible permissible floor level deviation, measured over a length of two meters, should not exceed 2 mm.
Amargo specialists have at their disposal many tools to check the sufficient chemical resistance of the material for a given application in the design of a chemical resistant tank.
The analysis usually begins with the use of a simple chemical resistance table, then it is possible to check in a computer application – then even mixtures of many compounds occurring under specific trade names can be analysed.
Use the contact form, send a message, and Amargo specialists will check for you chemical resistance and choose the optimal type of plastic.
In order to improve the process of handling your inquiry, please download and fill out the dedicated technical data form of the chemical resistant tank.
If you have any difficulty in completing the form> contact us> we will help you do it, we will discuss individual elements.
Send us the completed form by email and you will soon receive a tailor-made solution proposal!
We have made tanks with a capacity from several hundred litres to over 200 m3.
Size limitations are unlikely to exist, but as we know, non-standard transport means a higher cost. Therefore, as a rule, we recommend not to exceed the diameter of 3500 mm and the length / height of 10 – 12 meters.
If you plan to purchase a chemical resistant tank of non-standard size, it’s best to discuss implementation details with an Amargo Expert. TANK Think Tank is here to do it!
We help our customers at every stage of the design process, selection and use of a chemical resistant tank made of PE HD, PP, PVDF, FRP, GRP. Especially in the case of chemical resistant storage tanks subject to the supervision of the Office of Technical Inspection, in order to register a given tank and put it into service, appropriate operating instructions should be prepared and approved.
Contact us, we will help you in this process. We have experience!
The process of selecting, designing, manufacturing, certification of execution and testing as well as putting into service of a chemical resistant tank is extremely complicated. But not when you do it together with Amargo TANK Think Tank Specialists!
