Potable Water Tanks - Above Ground
These tanks provide a superb solution for storing potable an non-potable water when access to a mains 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
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...

- Fresh water has a specific gravity (SG) close to 1. This means that 1 litre of water will effectively weigh 1 KG.
- Our potable and non-potable tanks are therefore rated at SG1.
- Any tank with heat-welded flanges / fittings will require a slurry/industrial tank
- Consider bunded tanks to avoid spillages. Biggest bunded tank is 10,000 litres.
- DELIVERY IMPLICATIONS OF LARGE TANKS
- Delivery on a 44 foot articulated lorry
- It is the customer’s responsibilty to offload
- A HIAB truck may be required
- Delivery is kerbside only - the delivery driver is not indemnified to install the product
- Only lift or move when empty
- PLEASE CONSULT OUR LITERATURE ON CORRECT INSTALLATION OF TANKS:PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE BASE REQUIRED TO SUPPORT THE TANK WHEN FULL - WE RECOMMEND A CONCRETE BASE
- Tank base should be a minimum of (600mm) (24") larger than the diameter of the tank and should have a minimum depth of:
> 102mm (4") for tanks up to 2,500 litres
