Total Access Water Tanks FAQ

Below you'll find answers to the most common questions about our Total Access Water Tanks collection. If you need further help, our technical team is always on hand to assist.

What are Total Access water tanks?

Total Access water tanks are designed with fully removable lids or access panels, giving you complete entry to the tank interior for cleaning, inspection, and maintenance. They are widely used across water treatment, industrial processing, and building services where hygiene compliance and regular servicing are essential.

What sizes of Total Access water tanks do you stock?

We carry a range of capacities to suit different applications, from smaller tanks for domestic or light commercial use through to large-capacity units for industrial and municipal installations. If you need help identifying the right size for your project, contact our team and we'll recommend the best option based on your flow rates and storage requirements.

Are these tanks suitable for potable (drinking) water storage?

Yes, the Total Access tanks in our collection are manufactured from materials approved for potable water storage and comply with relevant UK water regulations. Always check the individual product listing for specific certifications and approval details.

Why is total access important for water tank maintenance?

Full access to the tank interior makes routine cleaning, disinfection, and inspection significantly easier and safer. This is particularly important for meeting ACOP L8 and HSG274 guidelines on Legionella risk management, where regular tank inspections are a legal requirement for many building operators.

Can I order a tank with pre-fitted connections or custom modifications?

Many of the tanks we supply can be specified with pre-fitted inlet, outlet, and overflow connections to suit your pipework layout. Get in touch with our technical team to discuss your requirements, and we'll confirm what modifications are available for your chosen tank.

How much does delivery cost, and how quickly will my tank arrive?

All orders ship at a flat rate of £12 across the UK, regardless of order size. Delivery times vary depending on the product and stock availability, but we prioritise fast, dependable dispatch. For urgent requirements, contact us and we'll give you an accurate lead time.

Do you offer stage payment options on larger orders?

Yes, we understand that larger water tank purchases can represent a significant investment. We offer stage payment options on qualifying orders, so speak to our sales team to arrange a payment plan that works for your project budget.

What materials are the Total Access water tanks made from?

The tanks in this collection are typically manufactured from high-grade polyethylene or GRP (glass-reinforced plastic), both of which offer excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and long service life. Material specifications are listed on each product page for your reference.
