Choosing the right water storage tank
Choosing the Right Water Storage Tank for Your Needs
When it comes to water storage, selecting the right tank is crucial for ensuring efficient use, durability, and compliance with regulations. Whether you’re planning for a domestic, commercial, or industrial project, your tank choice depends on several factors including capacity, location, and application.
At Tricel Water, we offer a comprehensive range of cold water storage tanks designed to meet diverse requirements—from compact solutions for limited spaces to large-scale sectional tanks for commercial premises. In this guide, we’ll help you understand the key differences between one-piece, sectional, and bespoke tanks so you can make an informed decision.
Choosing the right water storage tank is essential to ensure long-term efficiency, safety, and reliability. With various tank options available, including one-piece, sectional, and bespoke tanks, making an informed decision based on capacity, application, and space constraints is crucial.
One-Piece Tanks: Compact and Convenient
One-piece tanks are ideal for situations where space is limited or access is restricted. Made from durable GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic), these tanks are lightweight, easy to install, and perfect for internal or external use.
- Best for:
Domestic applications
Small commercial units
Loft installations or narrow access areas
Sectional Tanks: Scalable and Adaptable
If you’re storing a larger volume of water or have structural or access constraints, sectional tanks are the ideal solution. These modular tanks are assembled on-site, making them suitable for areas where a one-piece tank cannot be installed due to size or access limitations.
Best for:
Commercial buildings
Schools and hospitals
Large-scale water storage (up to 2,000,000 litres)
Bespoke Tanks: Tailored to Your Specifications
Sometimes, off-the-shelf options won’t cut it. That’s where bespoke water tanks come in. Tricel specialises in designing and manufacturing custom tanks to meet specific project requirements. These can include optional insulation, internal baffle plates, screen-overflows, and access hatches for maintenance and compliance.
Best for:
Unique space constraints
Complex technical specifications
Projects requiring WRAS approval or specific certifications

What to Consider When Choosing a Tank
Before making a decision, consider the following:
- Capacity needs: How much water do you need to store?
- Location: Indoor or outdoor? Is space limited?
- Access for installation: Will the tank need to fit through tight spaces?
- Compliance: Do you need WRAS-approved materials or insulation for potable water?
We’re here to help you every step of the way.
