one stop shop for water tanks and pumps

Water storage and distribution are pivotal for a range of applications, from households to industries. Explore our guide on water tanks and pumps which showcases our offerings, and the collaboration between us and Tricel Portsmouth that makes us your go-to supplier for all water and pumping solutions.

The Role of Water Tanks and Pumps

Water tanks and pumps form the backbone of any water management system, facilitating storage, distribution, and pressurisation. Whether it’s for domestic, commercial, or industrial use, our water storage and pumping solutions ensure seamless water flow and supply.

We are a leading manufacturer and supplier of GRP water storage tanks across the UK and internationally. For decades we have also been an authorised distributor of major pump brands including Grundfos.

Do you need a pump with a water tank?

For commercial and industrial projects, a water tank pump is essential, especially when using CAT5 water storage solutions. These pumps ensure the efficient distribution of pressurised water throughout large facilities, supporting high-demand applications such as cooling systems, manufacturing processes, and extensive plumbing networks. By integrating a pressure pump with your CAT5 water tank, you guarantee reliable water pressure, compliance with safety standards, and optimal performance across all operational areas.

GRP Water Storage Tank Options

 

  • One Piece Tanks

Our One Piece Tanks are not just for potable water; we also make bespoke tanks with specialised resins for storing both mild and aggressive chemicals. Ranging from 45 to 16,000 litres, these tanks meet WRAS Regulation 4(1)a standards for top-notch quality.

  • Hot-Press Sectional Tanks

Ideal for large-scale storage needs, sectional tanks are modular and these tanks are made up from metric sized GRP panels individually assembled on-site by our skilled site crews. Certified by KIWA to meet Regulation 4(1)a standards, they offer both convenience and reliability.

  • TIF Tanks

Engineered for constrained spaces, our Totally Internally Flanged (TIF) Tanks require as little as 50mm clearance around three sides maximising water storage capacity. With NSF certification, these tanks can hold up to an impressive 500,000 litres.

  • Sprinkler Tanks

Sprinkler tanks are designed for reliable and efficient fire protection, offering a maximum capacity of up to 1,300,000 litres for our LPCB Approved Sprinkler Tanks. These robust and high-quality tanks ensure compliance with stringent safety standards, making them an ideal choice for safeguarding commercial and industrial properties.

Selecting the Right Water Tank

Water Capacity

Determine the tank size based on your water demand and available space, ensuring a sufficient reserve for low-supply periods.

Water Tank Material

Our tanks are crafted from GRP to ensure longevity and water quality. Consider factors like corrosion resistance and suitability for your specific application.

Water pumps

Pumps play a key role in ensuring efficient water distribution and pressure management, especially in low-pressure or gravity-based systems.

Water Distribution

Pumps enable consistent water flow from the source to various points, overcoming elevation and distance challenges.

Pressure Regulation

By pressurising water supply, pumps maintain consistent pressure levels essential for optimal functioning of appliances and fixtures.

Types of Water Pumps

Centrifugal Pumps

Efficient and versatile, these pumps come in various configurations to cater to different fluid transport needs. Centrifugal pumps come in different sizes and configurations, including single-stage for low-pressure applications, two-stage for medium-head tasks, and multi-stage pumps for high-head operations, catering to a wide range of fluid transport needs.

Submersible Pumps

Designed for underwater operation, they are ideal for draining grey water from various settings while protecting the internal electrical components.

Circulating Pumps

Boost water pressure in heating and cooling systems with our circulating pumps, available in on-demand and time & temperature variants.

Fire Pumps

Critical for emergency situations, our fire pumps ensure prompt water supply to sprinkler systems or fire suppression mechanisms.

What kind of pump do I need for a water storage tank?

For commercial and industrial applications, selecting the right pump is crucial to ensure efficiency, reliability, and durability. We recommend the Grundfos Hydro MPC booster systems and the Lowara e-SV multistage pumps. These pumps are engineered to handle the high demands of commercial and industrial environments.

Grundfos recommends their JET pump & booster for potable water applications because the pump and booster meets the basic requirements of boosting from a water storage tank because of its self priming functionality and dry-run protection.

Selecting the right pump

Water Source

Choose a pump tailored to your water source, be it clean water, wastewater, shallow or deep wells.

Pumping Capacity

Consider flow rate, pressure requirements, and peak usage to select a pump that meets your needs.

Power Source

Opt for a pump compatible with your power source, whether it’s electricity, diesel, or solar energy.

Maintenance

Regular upkeep ensures longevity and peak performance of your pump. Adhere to manufacturer recommendations for best results.
