Countries like Kuwait face extreme heat, reaching over 50°C in summer. At these temperatures, plastic water tanks become unsafe, affecting water quality and health. Many families still use them without knowing the hidden dangers they bring.
This blog explains the real dangers of plastic water tanks and why switching to Rimal Aqua Stainless Steel Tanks is a smart and safe upgrade.
1. Plastic Releases Harmful Chemicals in Heat
When plastic gets heated, it slowly breaks down.
This releases harmful chemicals such as:
- Microplastics
- BPA
- Toxic particles
These mix with your water, making it unsafe for drinking and daily use.
2. Hot Water Encourages Bacteria Growth
Plastic tanks absorb heat quickly. The water inside becomes extremely warm — perfect for bacteria to multiply.
This leads to:
- Bad smell
- Slimy texture
- Unsafe water
Stainless steel does NOT absorb heat like plastic, which keeps water safer.
3. Algae Growth Due to Sunlight Exposure
Sunlight easily passes through plastic tanks.
Inside, algae start to form and turn the water green.
This makes the tank require:
- Frequent cleaning
- Chemical treatment
- High maintenance
4. Water Develops Bad Smell & Taste
In hot countries like Kuwait, plastic tanks give:
- Plastic smell
- Strange taste
- Discomfort in usage
This happens because heated plastic releases odour-causing chemicals into the water.
5. Plastic Tanks Crack & Deform in Heat
High UV exposure weakens plastic over time.
You may notice:
- Cracks
- Leaks
- Deformation
- Shorter lifespan
Meaning you will replace the tank every 3–5 years.
6. Unsafe for Long-Term Storage
Plastic becomes weaker each year under constant heat.
Even if no cracks appear, the internal structure gets damaged, affecting water quality.
7. Harmful for the Environment
Burning or breaking plastic releases toxins into the environment.
Plastic tanks are not eco-friendly and difficult to recycle.
