Glass lined tanks

In the emerging world of eco-friendly living and energy-saving appliances, solar water heaters have occupied center stage in domestic as well as commercial uses. But solar water heaters are not all alike. Perhaps one of the most important specifications distinguishing top-performance solar water heaters from others is the glass-lined inner tank. On the face of it, this may seem a minor technical distinction, but it's a breakthrough technology that fundamentally enhances durability, sanitation, and long-term worth.

Let's look at why glass-lined tanks are transforming the solar water heater industry and why Kamal Solar's 20-year warranty on the tanks is an indicator of their exceptional quality.

1. Outstanding Durability: Made to Endure for decades

The internal tank of a solar water heater is where hot water is kept, sometimes under high pressure and different temperatures. Normal steel tanks can rust over the course of time, particularly in hard water or high mineral content areas. Rust can make it leak, be less efficient, and be expensive to repair.

Glass-lined tanks address this problem by placing an insulation layer of vitreous enamel (glass) on the interior surface of the metal tank. This lining:

Creates a non-reactive boundary between the water and metal tank.

Avoids rust and corrosion, even under extreme heat.

Increases the life of the tank considerably, normally doubling its effective lifespan.

At Kamal Solar, our water heaters are integrated with BIS-approved glass-lined tanks that have been tested in a stringent quality check for toughness and performance. With this sophisticated technology, users can enjoy glitch-free service lasting decades.

2. Unrivaled Hygiene: Sanitised, Fresh Hot Water

One of the most significant, yet commonly neglected issues in water heating is the quality of hot water stored. Conventional steel tanks, when they rust, can introduce rust particles and odors into the water. This is especially undesirable when the water is for bathing, cooking, or cleaning.

Glass-lined tanks provide a non-porous, smooth, and inert surface that:

Inhibits bacterial growth and biofilm development.

Keeps clean, fresh-smelling water.

Guarantees safe water for daily use, particularly significant in households that have children or elderly family members.

With the glass lining's sanitary surface, Kamal Solar heaters offer a healthier water heating alternative with no compromise on water quality.

3. Long-Term Savings: Reduced Maintenance & Maximum Warranty

Although glass-lined solar water heaters might have a slightly higher initial cost, they bring immense savings in the long run owing to:

Less frequent maintenance (no scaling or rust-related problems).

Less service needs and replacement of parts.

More retention of efficiency over decades of use.

We at Kamal Solar are so sure about the longevity of our tanks that we provide an industry-best 20-year warranty on our glass-lined tanks. It's not a figure, it's a guarantee supported by more than 25 years of manufacturing excellence and tested performance in Indian industries and homes.

Compare this with standard heaters offering 5–10 year warranties, and you’ll see why our customers view Kamal Solar as a reliable, long-term investment.
