Vastu For Construction of Overhead Water Tank

The overhead water tank should be in the west or south-west direction of the building. If the overhead tank is constructed in the north-east of the house, it may lead to mental tension and burden..

Due to water, south-west corner becomes heavy and creates a balance of positive energies in the house/building and proves advantageous.

The overhead water tank must be at least 60 cm (2 feet) above the uppermost slab and not touching the slab. There should be no leakage in the overhead tank as dampness in the south-west corner is not good; therefore, the tank should placed on a higher slab. One should cover the all inner portion of the tank with tiles, preferably of white colour, so as to ensure cleanliness of the tank.

The overhead water tank, as far as possible, should not be made of plastic. If it is a plastic tank, it should be of blue or black colour, so that it absorbs the sun's rays. The sun's rays create positive energy (the principle Vastu works on) when absorbed in water.

As far as possible there should be separate tanks for drinking and cooking purposes and still other for toilets and bathrooms etc.

If a solar geyser is to be installed, it should be placed above the level of the overhead tank to ensure proper flow of water, and all the equipments attached to the same should be installed in the south-east of the roof.
