1000 Litre (265 gallon) Window Cleaning Water Tank
Product Overview
The 1000 Litre Flat Baffled Water Tank is a robust, high-capacity solution for the storage and transportation of potable water and a wide range of other compatible liquids.
Manufactured from durable MDPE / polyethylene, this low-profile tank provides a nominal capacity of 1000 litres, equivalent to approximately 265 imperial gallons. Its flat rectangular design makes it particularly suitable for applications where a large volume of water is required but available height is restricted.
The tank incorporates an integrated baffling system designed to reduce the movement of water during transportation. The baffles are formed through grooves and openings within the tank, helping to disrupt the movement of liquid and reduce side-to-side sloshing.
This makes the tank particularly suitable for mobile applications such as professional window cleaning, car valeting, vehicle cleaning and other situations where substantial quantities of water need to be transported.
The natural translucent finish allows the approximate water level to be viewed through the tank, providing a convenient way to monitor the remaining water supply.
With an empty weight of approximately 60 kg and dimensions of 1240 × 1590 × 590 mm, this tank provides a substantial storage capacity while maintaining a relatively low overall height.
The standard tank is supplied with a 1" BSP outlet and 8" lid, with a range of optional accessories available to adapt the tank to different water storage and distribution systems.

Low-Profile, High-Capacity Design
The 1000 Litre Flat Baffled Water Tank has been designed to provide a substantial water storage capacity while maintaining a relatively low profile.
Measuring approximately 1240 × 1590 mm across the base and 590 mm high, it provides 1000 litres of nominal storage without requiring the additional height associated with an upright tank.
This makes it particularly useful for vehicle-based installations, trailers and mobile equipment where vertical clearance may be restricted.
Typical applications include:
- Window cleaning
- Car valeting
- Mobile vehicle cleaning
- Commercial cleaning
- Mobile pressure washing
- Potable water storage
- Agricultural applications
- Horticultural applications
- Irrigation
- Vehicle-based water systems
- Temporary water storage
- General-purpose liquid storage
The available installation area should be checked carefully before ordering to ensure that the tank dimensions and access requirements are suitable.
Integrated Baffle System
The tank incorporates an internal baffling system designed to reduce the movement of water during transportation.
The baffles are created through grooves and openings running through the tank. These disrupt the movement of liquid, helping to prevent excessive side-to-side water sloshing when the tank is transported.
This is particularly beneficial for mobile applications where the tank may contain a substantial volume of water while a vehicle is in motion.
The baffled construction makes the tank particularly suitable for:
- Window cleaning
- Car valeting
- Mobile vehicle cleaning
- Commercial cleaning
- Mobile pressure washing
- Vehicle-based water systems
- Liquid transportation
The baffles help reduce water movement but do not eliminate it completely.
A tank containing 1000 litres of water represents a very substantial moving load. It is therefore essential that the tank is correctly installed and securely restrained before transportation. Tanks containing large volumes of liquid can be extremely hazardous if incorrectly secured.
The design of the baffles also reduces the effective usable capacity of the tank.
Ideal for Window Cleaning
The 1000 litre capacity makes this tank particularly suitable for professional window cleaning businesses requiring a large mobile water supply.
The flat configuration allows the tank to be installed in applications where available height is restricted, while the internal baffling helps make it suitable for transporting water as part of a mobile cleaning system.
The natural translucent material also allows the operator to monitor the approximate water level, making it easier to determine when the tank needs to be refilled.
The combination of high capacity, low profile and baffled construction makes this tank particularly useful for established window cleaning operations and commercial cleaning businesses.
Applications
The 1000 Litre Flat Baffled Water Tank is particularly suitable for high-capacity mobile and commercial water storage applications.
Typical applications include:
- Professional window cleaning
- Car valeting
- Mobile vehicle cleaning
- Mobile pressure washing
- Commercial cleaning
- Potable water storage
- Agricultural water storage
- Horticultural applications
- Irrigation systems
- Vehicle-based water systems
- Temporary water storage
- General-purpose liquid storage
The low-profile design makes the tank particularly useful where height is restricted, while the integrated baffling makes it suitable for transporting liquids when correctly installed and secured.
