Total Access Water Tanks

Total Access Water Tanks — Safe, Accessible, and Reliable Storage Solutions

Total access water tanks give you safe, secure, and convenient water storage with full internal accessibility. Unlike traditional tanks, these models feature large removable lids or manholes that let you enter the tank completely for inspection, cleaning, and maintenance. Consequently, they suit industries and facilities where hygiene, compliance, and long-term reliability are priorities. We make our tanks from high-quality UV-stabilised polyethylene, giving you a durable, corrosion-resistant unit that withstands outdoor exposure year-round. Furthermore, a wide range of sizes and capacities means these tanks suit domestic, commercial, agricultural, and industrial applications. For larger polyethylene storage options, see our 1200 to 6000 Litre Polyethylene Water Storage Tanks and 6000 to 25000 Litre Polyethylene Water Storage Tanks. For guidance on water storage hygiene and compliance, refer to WRAS, the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme.

In short, total access water tanks combine robust construction with practical access design, giving you a long service life, easy upkeep, and excellent overall value.

Key Features and Benefits of Total Access Water Tanks

• Complete internal accessibility — Large removable lids or manholes let operators enter the tank for cleaning, inspection, and repairs. As a result, water quality stays consistently high and compliance with hygiene standards is straightforward.
• Durable polyethylene construction — UV-stabilised and corrosion-resistant, so the tank handles outdoor conditions without degrading. Moreover, polyethylene is significantly lighter than steel or concrete, making transport and positioning much easier on site.
• Hygienic design — Easy access promotes thorough cleaning and prevents sediment build-up. Therefore, these tanks suit potable water storage where hygiene regulations apply.
• Versatile applications — Suit rainwater harvesting, potable water storage, process water, irrigation, and chemical storage across many sectors. Furthermore, standard fittings connect directly to existing pipework and distribution systems.
• Simple installation — Require only a solid, level base for stability. In addition, lightweight polyethylene versions are far easier to transport and position than concrete or heavy steel alternatives.
• Low maintenance and long service life — Smooth internal surfaces resist sediment build-up and clean quickly. Overall, polyethylene does not rust or corrode, so ongoing upkeep costs stay very low across the tank’s full service life.

Applications of Total Access Water Tanks

Our total access water tanks suit a wide range of sectors where accessible, hygienic storage is needed. For instance:

• Domestic and residential — Potable water storage and rainwater harvesting for homes and small properties. Consequently, homeowners maintain a reliable water reserve and reduce reliance on mains supply.
• Agriculture — Irrigation water and livestock supply on farms where large-capacity, accessible storage reduces daily labour. Furthermore, easy cleaning keeps water quality high for animal welfare.
• Commercial facilities — Hotels, schools, and hospitals rely on accessible tanks to maintain clean water supplies and meet hygiene compliance requirements. In addition, regular inspection is straightforward without specialist equipment.
• Industrial processing — Process water, greywater, and chemical storage where operators need regular access for quality checks, sampling, and cleaning. Moreover, polyethylene resists a wide range of chemicals safely.
• Construction sites — Temporary water storage for dust suppression, concrete mixing, and welfare facilities. As a result, sites maintain water supply independently of mains connections.

Installation and Long-Term Value

Installing one of these tanks is straightforward. Place it on a flat, compacted, load-bearing surface such as a concrete pad or compacted hardcore. Connect the inlet, outlet, and overflow using standard fittings. Furthermore, position the tank close to the point of use to keep pipework short and installation costs low. Always fit the lid securely after installation to prevent contamination and comply with water storage regulations.

Maintenance is simple. Open the lid and inspect the interior regularly. Clean the tank at least annually to remove algae, sediment, or biofilm. In addition, check all fittings, seals, and the lid gasket for wear and replace them promptly. Overall, a well-maintained polyethylene tank gives many years of reliable, hygienic service with minimal ongoing cost.

From a financial perspective, polyethylene tanks cost less than equivalent steel or concrete alternatives. They install faster, weigh less, and need far less upkeep. In short, our total access water tanks give you a safe, accessible, and cost-effective storage solution for almost any domestic, commercial, agricultural, or industrial application.
