During summer months, hot water coming from residential water tanks represent a serious problem for residential and agricultural buildings in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) where water temperature may exceeds 50oC. Based on that, numerous methods and practices were utilized to reduce the outlet water temperature of incoming from the tanks, the effectiveness of these methods is varying from one to another, so that the decision to choose the appropriate method mainly depends upon the information available from manufacturers. In addition, scientific publication about this problem is relatively scarce. Therefore, in this study, a field and laboratory tests were conducted to determine the effect available various practices (e.g. insulation materials, color, orientation, shading, and cooling techniques) on the thermal performance of the water tanks reaching to the best practice to be adapted to thermally protect water inside the tanks from the harsh external environment (intensity of solar radiation, ambient air temperature, and air relative humidity). Keywords: Water tank, Polycon, Fiberglass, Thermal Conductivity.
