Why Choose GRP for Water Storage?
GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) is one of the most efficient and reliable materials used in modern water storage solutions. At Tricel Water Ireland, we specialise in manufacturing GRP water storage tanks that are designed for long-term performance, durability, and hygiene. These tanks are suitable for a wide range of uses, including commercial, industrial, and domestic applications. Thanks to its many advantages, GRP continues to be a top choice for those seeking high-quality water storage solutions.
GRP Offers Exceptional Corrosion Resistance
One of the key benefits of GRP is its natural resistance to corrosion. Unlike steel, which may rust over time or require special coatings, it maintains its integrity in both aggressive and chemically harsh environments. As a result, GRP tanks are ideal for storing both potable and non-potable water without the risk of contamination or material degradation.
Strong Yet Lightweight – The GRP Advantage
GRP combines high strength with low weight, making it easier to transport and install than many traditional materials. This fibreglass-reinforced composite is manufactured using premium polyester resins and dense fibreglass strands. The result is a water tank that delivers exceptional structural integrity without compromising on flexibility or weight.
Moreover, it’s low density contributes to easier handling on-site. In comparison to metal alternatives, this makes GRP tanks particularly advantageous for projects with tight access or space constraints.
Durability and Low Maintenance – Why GRP Lasts Longer
Choosing GRP means choosing longevity. These tanks are built to last up to 25 years or more with minimal upkeep. Furthermore, GRP tanks require very little maintenance because they are not prone to rust or corrosion. This eliminates the need for frequent inspections, repainting, or surface treatments—saving both time and money over the product’s lifespan.
Industry Standards & Certifications (to support your credibility):

Why: Useful when referring to ISO 9001 standards in quality assurance.
GRP Tanks Provide Safe, Hygienic Water Storage
Another reason to consider GRP water tanks is hygiene. The non-porous, smooth internal surfaces of GRP tanks help to prevent the build-up of bacteria and other harmful contaminants. Because of this, GRP tanks are a reliable solution for settings where water safety is critical—such as hospitals, food production facilities, and educational institutions.
The Smart Choice for Water Storage
By investing in GRP water storage tanks, you’re not only choosing a dependable product but also reducing long-term costs through durability and efficiency. With GRP, you benefit from fewer maintenance requirements, a longer operational life, and peace of mind knowing your water is stored safely.
