Water Storage Tank 

Manufactured from Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP)

Water Storage Tank 

 

Water storage tanks are for the storage of potable or non-potable water. Water tank panels are made from GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) otherwise known as fiberglass. Fibre is reinforced specifically with glass fibre giving this material its durable properties. Water Storage tanks made out of fiberglass can have capacities up to about 300 tonnes. There are two types of water storage tanks.

Non Potable water tanks are used for the storage of process water. Process water is the name for water which is not used for drinking water. Examples include boiler feed water, cooling water for heat exchangers or engines, vehicle washing and irrigations etc… It should usually have a conductivity alternating from 0,1 to 50 uS/cm, with little to no hardness to avoid scaling in heating systems.

Potable water tanks are used for the storage of drinking water. The Potable water tanks are designed to store water for emergency human consumption or animal drinking. These tanks are manufactured to WRAS approval standards.
