How to Install a Water Tank Jacket

At Tankers , we design our water tank jackets not just for performance, but also for ease of installation. Whether you’re protecting your tank from scorching summer heat or freezing winter temperatures, installing a jacket is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to improve efficiency and prolong the life of your tank. We’ve created this easy-to-follow guide to help you install your water tank jacket quickly and correctly — no professional help required!

Step 1: Measure Your Tank Before You Buy

Before purchasing a jacket, it’s crucial to know the exact size of your water tank . Most tanks come in standard sizes like 800L, 1000L, 1200L, 1500L, and 2000L. At Tankers, we offer custom-fit jackets for these sizes, ensuring a snug and secure fit every time. If your tank isn’t a standard size, don’t worry — contact us and we’ll help you find the best solution.

Step 2: Choose the Right Jacket

Make sure you select a jacket made with UV-resistant, high-density fabric that offers both insulation and durability. Our jackets are designed to keep your water cooler in summer and warmer in winter while resisting dust, moisture, and sunlight damage. Once you’ve got the right jacket, you’re ready to install! Our premium insulated water tank covers are engineered for maximum temperature regulation in all seasons.

Step 3: Prepare Your Tank

Before wrapping your tank:

• Make sure the tank surface is clean and dry .
• If the tank is already installed outdoors, check that there is enough space around it to work comfortably.
• Ensure all fittings, pipes, and valves are accessible after installation.

This helps ensure the jacket fits properly and doesn’t interfere with any connections.

Step 4: Wrap the Jacket Around the Tank

Most of our jackets come as split covers — meaning they can be wrapped around the tank from the side. This makes installation easier, especially if the tank is already mounted in place.

• Slide the jacket over the top of the tank (if possible) or wrap it from the side.
• Adjust the cover so it evenly wraps around the entire body of the tank.
• Use the adjustable straps and buckles provided to secure the jacket firmly in place.

Make sure the jacket sits flush against the tank without any gaps or bulges.

Step 5: Secure the Jacket Properly

Our jackets come with reinforced hook-and-loop fasteners or adjustable Velcro straps to hold them tightly around the tank. These ensure the jacket stays in place even during strong winds or heavy rain. Double-check all sides and tighten the straps where necessary. The goal is a snug fit that won’t loosen over time.

Step 6: Check Accessibility

After installation, make sure that any access points (like overflow pipes, taps, or inspection lids) are still easily reachable. You may need to cut small slits or openings in the jacket for these areas — just be careful not to compromise the overall insulation.

Step 7: Regular Maintenance Tips

To keep your jacket performing at its best:

• Clean it occasionally with mild soap and water.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Inspect it periodically for signs of wear and tear.
• If machine washable, remove it and clean accordingly.

A well-maintained jacket can last for years, giving you long-term protection and savings.
