hot water tanks
Domestic warmth storage
Hot water tanks are insulated containers that store heated water for domestic or commercial use.
The tank maintains water at a set temperature until needed for bathing, washing, or heating systems.
Most homes have a hot water tank in the basement or utility closet, though tankless systems that heat water on demand are increasingly common.
