Glass Fused to Steel Tanks: The Best Choice for Drinking Water Storage
At Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd. (Center Enamel), we are committed to providing high-quality and reliable storage solutions for drinking water. One of the most innovative and effective solutions we offer is the Glass Fused to Steel (GFS) Tank, a product designed for durability, safety, and long-term performance. Whether you need to store drinking water for municipal systems, industrial applications, or emergency water storage, Center Enamel's GFS tanks stand out as the best choice for ensuring the cleanest, safest, and most sustainable water storage solution.
What Are Glass Fused to Steel Tanks?
Glass Fused to Steel Tanks combine the strength of steel with the durability and protective qualities of a glass coating. The inner surface of the steel is fused to a layer of glass at high temperatures, forming a non-porous, smooth, and corrosion-resistant surface. This combination results in a highly durable, long-lasting tank that ensures the preservation of water quality, while also offering ease of maintenance and environmental protection.
As a leading storage tank manufacturer worldwide. Center Enamel can provide Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) tanks, fusion bonded epoxy tanks, stainless steel tanks, galvanized steel tanks and aluminum geodesic dome roofs, Wastewater and Biogas Project Equipments for global customers.

Why Glass Fused to Steel Tanks are the Best Choice for Drinking Water Storage
1. Food-Grade and Safe for Drinking Water
One of the key features of Glass Fused to Steel Tanks is their food-grade certification, making them a safe and reliable solution for storing potable water. Our tanks are NSF/ANSI 61 certified, which ensures that no harmful substances are leached into the water, preserving the water's taste, odor, and overall quality.
NSF/ANSI 61 Certification: This certification guarantees that the tanks meet strict standards for safe drinking water, making them perfect for both urban and rural water storage.
Non-toxic, food-safe glass coating: The glass coating used in our tanks is free of harmful chemicals and does not affect the taste or odor of stored water.
2. Superior Corrosion Resistance
Corrosion is one of the biggest threats to the integrity of water storage tanks, especially in harsh environments. Glass Fused to Steel Tanks are resistant to rust, corrosion, and chemical reactions, even when exposed to aggressive substances such as chlorine and sulfates in water.
Durability against corrosion: The fusion of glass to steel creates a smooth, non-porous surface that is highly resistant to corrosion, making it an ideal choice for long-term water storage.
Chemical resistance: These tanks are able to withstand the most aggressive chemicals, ensuring a longer lifespan and reduced maintenance costs.
3. Long-Lasting and Low Maintenance
Glass Fused to Steel Tanks are built to last. The durable coating ensures a long lifespan with minimal maintenance compared to traditional steel or concrete tanks. The smooth glass surface prevents debris build-up, making cleaning and maintenance simpler and more efficient.
Low maintenance requirements: The GFS coating prevents the accumulation of scale, dirt, and algae, which makes cleaning easier and reduces the need for frequent maintenance.
Long-lasting: The strong fusion between glass and steel gives the tanks remarkable durability, reducing the need for costly repairs and replacements.
4. Preservation of Water Quality
Water quality is of utmost importance, and our Glass Fused to Steel Tanks are designed to maintain the purity of stored drinking water. The smooth glass surface prevents bacterial growth, algae formation, and the leaching of chemicals, which ensures that the water remains clean and safe for consumption.
No taste or odor transfer: The glass coating ensures that water retains its natural taste and odor, without any unpleasant aftertaste caused by the tank material.
Prevention of biological growth: The non-porous surface reduces the possibility of algae or bacteria growth, ensuring clean and safe water storage.
5. Customizable for Various Applications
Center Enamel offers customizable GFS tank designs to meet the specific needs of drinking water storage. Whether you require small-scale tanks for rural communities or large-scale tanks for municipal water systems, our GFS tanks can be tailored to accommodate different capacities and configurations.
