Water Tank
Direction
Of Placement
*
The overhead
water tank should be in the west or the southwest ground
floor can prove beneficial.
*
The overhead
water tank in the southwest direction should be at least
two feet above the uppermost slab. It should not be touching
the slab. The sun rays first fall on this tank and are
absorbed in water. Due to water, this corner becomes heavy
and it is advantageous. But under no condition the overhead
tank in the southwest corner should leak. Dampness in
the southwest corner is not good, therefore the tank is
placed on a slab higher than the slab of the building.
*
The northeast
corner belong to water element still a very big overhead
tank is not proper in this direction because the northeast
corner should not be heavy under any condition.
*
Leaving
the southwest side, if the tank is built in the west side
it is very beneficial. This is the direction of the Lord
Varuna and he is in charge of the rains. This tank in
the west direction can be built over the slab itself.
There is no necessity of leaving a gap of two feet.
*
Overhead
tank should not be in the northwest direction as far as
possible. If it is, it should be small in size, of less
height, and situated at a distance of at least two feet
from the northwest corner. The water in this tank is not
used properly and gets finished before expected.
*
Overhead
tank should not be in the middle (Bramhasthan). If there
is a load on the Bramha, life becomes impossible to live.
One does not feel like staying in the house. If the overhead
tank at the Bramhasthan is removed, surprising advantages
can be experienced within 21 days.
Colour Of Water
Tank
*
The overhead
water tank should not be plastic as for as possible. If
it is a plastic tank it should be of blue or black colour.
This leads to absorption of sun rays As far as possible,
there should be different tanks for drinking and cooking
and for toilets, bathrooms etc.
