The Ultimate Guide to Purewater Storage: Safe, Compliant, and Long-Lasting Solutions
Clean and pure water is an essential resource for a wide range of applications — from drinking water storage to industrial and pharmaceutical use. Therefore, ensuring the purity of stored water is absolutely crucial. Not only does it help prevent contamination, but it also extends the lifespan of equipment and ensures full compliance with regulatory standards.
At Tricel Water, we specialise in high-quality GRP water storage tanks that are specifically designed to keep water safe, uncontaminated, and in line with industry requirements. For instance, our tanks meet key standards such as WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) and BS EN 13280:2001. Furthermore, these tanks offer long-term durability, making them a reliable solution for both short- and long-term water storage needs.
In this guide, we will first explore why maintaining pure water storage is so vital. Next, we’ll look at the best materials available for water storage tanks. Finally, we’ll show how Tricel Water’s tailored solutions can effectively support businesses, municipalities, and industrial operations alike.
Why PureWater Storage is Essential
Many industries depend on pure water storage for drinking, food processing, medical purposes, and various industrial applications.
However, improper storage can lead to several serious problems, including:
❌ Microbial contamination – Harmful bacteria like Legionella can grow. As a result, this poses major health risks.
❌ Algae formation – When exposed to sunlight, non-insulated tanks allow algae to grow. Therefore, water quality quickly degrades.
❌ Corrosion – Metal tanks can rust over time. Consequently, this contaminates the water and affects safety.
❌ Chemical leaching – Poor-quality plastics may release harmful substances. Thus, water safety and purity are compromised.
To prevent these risks, businesses and municipalities must choose high-quality, compliant storage tanks.
These tanks should meet strict safety standards. In addition, they must require minimal maintenance and offer long-term reliability.
Furthermore, the best options are durable and resistant to corrosion, bacteria, and algae.
As a result, stored water stays clean, safe, and suitable for its intended use.
Key Considerations for Purewater
Meeting Regulatory Compliance for pureWater Storage
Meeting Regulatory Compliance for Water Storage
Businesses that store potable water must, therefore, adhere to strict industry regulations to ensure that water remains safe for human consumption. Specifically, key standards include:
WRAS Approval (UK) – This certification ensures, without a doubt, that tanks are safe for storing drinking water, thus meeting essential safety requirements and safeguarding public health.
BS EN 13280:2001 – This standard specifically outlines the quality requirements for GRP water storage tanks, therefore ensuring that the tanks provide reliable and safe storage over time.
ISO 9001:2015 – This certification guarantees a high standard of quality management in manufacturing processes, ultimately ensuring consistent product excellence and high levels of customer satisfaction.
DWI (Drinking Water Inspectorate) Compliance – This applies to water authorities and suppliers, confirming that the tanks meet the necessary regulatory guidelines, therefore ensuring that the water stored remains safe for consumption.
As a result, Tricel Water’s tanks are WRAS-approved and meticulously manufactured to meet the highest hygiene and durability standards. Consequently, they have become a trusted choice for businesses and local authorities alike, ensuring both reliability and compliance with industry standards.
Preventing Contamination in pureWater Storage Tanks
Even with a high-quality tank, poor maintenance or bad storage conditions can still cause contamination.
However, here’s how to effectively prevent it:
✅ Choose an Insulated Tank – This helps prevent temperature changes. Moreover, it reduces the risk of algae growth.
✅ Regular Cleaning & Maintenance – Periodically flushing the tank removes sediment. Therefore, it helps maintain long-term water quality.
✅ Use a Proper Ventilation System – This reduces moisture build-up. As a result, bacteria growth is significantly minimised.
✅ Install a Secure Lid & Access Hatch – This blocks external contaminants. Furthermore, it keeps the stored water clean and safe.
✅ Position the Tank in a Shaded Area – This limits sunlight exposure. Consequently, it prevents algae and helps retain water purity.
Ultimately, Tricel Water’s insulated GRP tanks are designed to maintain water quality while also reducing ongoing maintenance needs.
Therefore, they offer a dependable, long-term solution for safe and efficient water storage.
