SECTIONAL & One piece TANK FAQ'S

The type of water tank you may need is dependent on what you are looking to use the tank for.

One Piece water storage tanks are ideal for cost effective water storage solutions. Sizes range from 10 litres to 4500 litres. One piece tanks can be used for both indoor and outdoor storage purposes.

Sectional water storage tanks are ideal for where space restrictions are an issue, and for storing large volumes of water.

For storing drinking water, you will need a potable water tank, like these GRP tanks. They can store drinking water, prepare food, and clean dishes while meeting government regulations for safe water storage.

In non-potable water tanks, water can be used for flushing toilets and watering plants but cannot be consumed by people.
