Water storage and distribution
Tanks, level control and pipework that keep supply steady when demand peaks or the source is intermittent.
A tank turns an unreliable source into a reliable supply
Mains supply that comes and goes, a borehole that gives a steady trickle, a pump that cannot match peak demand: a tank in the right place solves all three. Level control starts and stops the pump so nobody has to.
Where it stands, how big it is and how it is piped decide whether the supply feels steady.
A tank, a pump and a float level
Open the taps and watch the pump start and stop on its own.
Press Open taps. As the tank drops to the low level the pump starts, and it stops again at the high level. Illustrative: levels, tank size and pump size are set for each site.

- Raised-tank and ground-tank arrangements
- Installation and commissioning
What we ask about
What we look at and what we ask about so the recommendation fits your site, not a generic one.
- Daily use and the peak hour
- How reliable the source is
- Hours of cover you want if the source fails
- Height available for a raised tank
- Space, access and ground conditions
- The buildings or points of use served

Frequently asked questions
How big should my tank be?
Enough for the cover you want during a supply interruption plus peak demand. We size it with you from your daily use and how reliable the source is.
Raised tank or booster set?
A raised tank supplies by gravity and is simple to run. A booster set suits sites where raising a tank is impractical. Some sites use both.
How does float level control work?
A float or level sensor starts the pump when the tank falls to a low level and stops it when the tank is full, so the tank stays within a set band.
