Reservoir Liners & Covers 
New and proven methods to store water have captured world-wide attention. Watersaver's reservoir liners help manage the containment and distribution of our most-precious resource. Our product line services all industries ranging from irrigation lakes to potable drinking water reservoirs. From a strictly technical viewpoint, a floating cover is a buoyant structure installed over the surface of a fluid. There are several reasons for covering an installation with a flexible membrane liner, including:
- Prevent entry of foreign substances: debris, airborne dusts & solids, excrement
- Security: prevent accidental entry, prevent malicious damage or contamination, isolate pollutants from the environment
- Reduce chemical use: avoid dissipation of chlorine or other treated chemicals
- Collection of gas: for control, for recovery
- Reduce evaporative losses: like water, stored chemicals or volatile wastes and gasses
- Aesthetics: blend a storage facility into its surroundings
- Regulatory compliance
A variety of materials have been developed for floating covers. In the past, floating covers were primarily constructed of steel or fiberglass. More recently, the availability of plastic-based fabrics has made low cost flexible membrane covers a practical alternative. Reinforced Polypropylene (PP-R), Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene (CSPE) or Hypalon®, XR-5® and others have been used successfully in applications ranging from potable drinking water reservoirs to methane digesters on hog farms.
