When you think about Napa Valley, you think about wine, food, and vineyards. However, Napa CA is also a place where food and beverage factories manufacture their products.
If you’ve taken a trip down to the Valley, you would have a glimpse of refineries and storage facilities for different beverages and water products. It’s definitely a place where vacation, culture, and industry mix harmoniously with nature.

Advantages of Regular Tank Maintenance
You’d be surprised that a lot of Napa factories neglect preventive maintenance. Preventive maintenance refers to a regular service given by your contract to check on the conditions of the water tank and other tanks in your factory.
To this day, people think that preventive maintenance is just a costly service that doesn’t need to be considered for the monthly budget. However, preventive maintenance offers advantages that you may have not considered:
Longer life for your tanks
Regular maintenance for your water tank can ensure that your equipment is in its best condition to function. And when they are in their optimal condition, they become efficient in producing your goods and services.
Improved efficiency
Regular repairs will identify possible problems in the future. A common problem with a storage tank is their lining or coating and they’re not easily identified during normal operations. this is where preventive maintenance comes in handy because it easily sees future repair that can be avoided.
Cost avoidance on replacements and repairs
In our experience, a total replacement of a damaged steel tank is more expensive than when you do regular systems check-ups. The cost included in a replacement is the system downtime and the number of products you aren’t able to produce. This leads to delays in shipment and delivery. If you look at the bigger picture, the replacement cost is not the only expense for the whole company.
Shorter downtime
Lastly, regular application and repair of equipment can lead to shorter downtime for your water tank. Instead of having a few days to a week of no production, you can reduce it to a day or two because damages will not be as bad as when the equipment was totally neglected.
