How to Keep Your Water Storage Bladder Protected on Your Job Site This Summer {{ currentPage ? currentPage.title : "" }}

With record-setting temperatures hitting much of the country this summer, keeping your construction team hydrated and safe is vital. One of the best ways to do just that is with a water storage bladder. But how do you make sure the bladder itself is protected on your job site? You don’t want a damaged bladder at such a crucial time. Here are four tips to help keep your water tank protected throughout the season.

Water Storage Bladder

Choose Your Setup Location Carefully

The location where you set up your water bladder tank is one of the most essential parts of keeping it safe. A spot right in the middle of the action, with no shade, and the ground littered with sharp objects, can result in a punctured or damaged bladder.

So, when setting up your job site and preparing to bring in a reliable water source, choose your location carefully. It should be level and out of the way of general foot and vehicle traffic while still being easily accessible for your crew. Finding a spot with shade is a bonus.

If your bladder comes with a ground pad, that’s even better. Set this up underneath your water bladder tank to give it extra protection from sharp debris. With the right gear, almost any strategically selected spot can turn into the perfect water station.

Create Shade if You Can’t Find Any

If you’re planning on leaving your bladder on-site for a few days or even weeks at a time and can’t find a naturally shady spot, it’s time to create some shade of your own.

Build a canopy or roof over your bladder to help keep it safe from the sun and heat. This structure can be simple and made out of the material that best suits your job site, whether that’s metal, wood, or fabric. It can cover the bladder itself or be big enough to create extra shade for your team to cool off while they use the bladder.

Shade keeps your water fresh and protects your bladder from damage hot temperatures could cause. That’s why it should be near the top of your priority list.

Consider Transporting It

The best part of portable water bladders is right there in the name—they’re portable.

If your team has a warehouse close by, or even just a shadier area off the job site, it’s easy to drive the water in when you need it. You can move it in on a trailer every two hours for everyone to fill up their water bottles and get a refresh, or maybe even swap bladders halfway through the day so neither one gets too hot.

Plus, the best companies offer custom water bladders that fit the exact dimensions you need. That way, you can be sure your solution fits in your trailers, trucks, and vans.

Clean It Often

Warm temperatures can promote bacteria growth. That’s why it’s important to keep up with cleaning your bladder regularly. After all, your team deserves fresh and clean drinking water.

The best plan is to sanitize your tank between uses. That could be right after it’s emptied or simply in between jobs. Clean it and let it dry before adding water for next week’s job. Carefully suspending the bladder or connecting a low-volume blower to one of the fittings can help speed up the drying process. Either way, by keeping the bladder clean and fresh all summer, your crew can enjoy easy access to water when they need it most.
