Above Ground Water Storage Tanks

These tanks provide a superb solution for storing potable an non-potable water when access to a main water supply is not available or you need to store water (from the mains) to cope with peaks in demand.

If you don't have mains water on site and/or the water pressure is low, you will use an above ground tank to store potable or non-potable water brought to your site by a delivery vehicle tanker, for example. In this case, we'll be able to advise you on suitable connections (a) for the water to be pumped into the tank from the delivery vehicle and (b) drain valves so that you can access that water, usually from a point near the base of the tank.

Did you know, the water in non-potable tanks could be used to :

• Flush toilets
• Provide water on constructions sites or civil engineering applications
• From cement mixing to dust suppression, to wash down machinery or vehicles
• An extra resource in he unfortunate event of a fire

Did you know, the drinking water in potable tanks could be used:

• Where mains water isn't accessible or the pressure is too low to cope with demand
• For a temporary water supply for events, festivals or a temporary camping sites
• As back-up emergency drinking water supply
• For food industry applications

"Potable" water tanks are moulded using "WRAS-approved" plastic polymer. WRAS stands for Water Regulations Approvals Scheme: an independent UK certification body for plumbing products and materials, helping business and consumers choose products that don't cause any detrimental effects on the safety or quality of the drinking water.

Capacities range from 2,500 to 30,000 litres (500 to 6,600 gallons) but if that's not enough, you can also link these tanks together to create additional volume.

These water tanks can be configured in may ways, with:

• fittings to get the water into the tank
• drain valves to allow pump connection / water removal when the tank is full
• breather valves and bolt down feet
• part-fill valves to allow tanks to be topped up with the mains water when required
• liquid level sight glasses and linking kits...

If you're interested in using an Above Ground Storage Tank for any of the above applications or if you have any questions, please get in touch! You can also download our product and accessory sheets for even more detail.

Final note: non-potable water tanks could include a mixture of tankered water + harvested rainwater.
