What industries use GRP water storage tanks?

GRP water tanks are used in commercial buildings, hospitals, schools, industrial plants, residential developments, hotels, and leisure facilities due to their durability, hygiene, and long service life.

Why choose Purewater Storage?

What is a GRP water tank?

A GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) water tank is a durable storage system made from reinforced glass fibres and resin. These tanks are corrosion‑resistant, hygienic, lightweight, and extremely strong.

What are the benefits of GRP tanks compared to steel tanks?

GRP tanks do not rust or corrode, have a long service life (often 25–30+ years), are lightweight yet strong, have hygienic internal surfaces, and require lower maintenance.

What types of water tanks do you supply?

Purewater Storage supplies one‑piece GRP tanks, two‑piece tanks, sectional GRP tanks, and insulated or non‑insulated tanks.

What is the difference between sectional and one‑piece tanks?

One‑piece tanks are delivered fully moulded and install quickly where access allows. Sectional tanks are delivered in panels and assembled on site, making them ideal for restricted access areas and large capacities.

What size water tanks are available?

Water tanks range from small tanks of a few hundred litres to large sectional tanks capable of storing very large volumes. The correct size depends on building demand, system design, and installation space.

Are your water tanks suitable for drinking water?

Yes. Our potable water tanks are manufactured using WRAS‑approved materials and are suitable for storing drinking water.

What is WRAS approval?

WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approval confirms that materials used in a tank are safe for contact with drinking water and will not contaminate the supply.

What standards do GRP water tanks meet?

Cold water storage tanks are typically designed to meet BS EN 13280, WRAS approval requirements, and the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999.

Why is water tank compliance important?

Compliance ensures water quality is protected, tanks meet building regulations, systems pass inspections, and risks such as contamination are reduced.

Can water tanks be installed in restricted spaces?

Yes. Sectional GRP tanks are designed for installation in plant rooms, on rooftops, and in other restricted-access areas because they are assembled on-site.

Do you offer installation services?

Purewater Storage supplies tanks nationwide and can provide installation guidance or connect customers with experienced installation partners.

How long does installation take?

Installation time varies depending on tank size, site access, and whether the tank is sectional or one‑piece.

How long do GRP water tanks last?

A properly installed and maintained GRP water tank can last 25–30 years or more.

Do water tanks require maintenance?

Yes. Tanks should be inspected regularly, cleaned and disinfected periodically, and checked for leaks or damage to maintain water quality.

Do you supply replacement parts?

Yes. Replacement components such as lids, panels, insulation, screens, access covers, and other accessories can be supplied.

Do you deliver water tanks across the UK?

Yes. Purewater Storage supplies and delivers tanks throughout the UK.

What are your typical lead times?

Lead times depend on tank size and specification, but standard tanks can often be delivered within a few weeks.

Can you manufacture bespoke water tanks?

Yes. Tanks can be manufactured to custom sizes or configurations to meet specific project requirements.
