215 Litre Water Tank
Product Overview
The 215 Litre Water Tank is a robust and versatile solution for the storage and transportation of potable water and a wide range of other compatible liquids.
Manufactured from durable MDPE / polyethylene, this round above-ground tank provides a nominal capacity of 215 litres, equivalent to approximately 47 imperial gallons. Its compact design makes it a practical choice for applications where a reliable supply of stored water is required without the footprint of a larger tank.
The tank is manufactured from natural translucent medium-density polyethylene, allowing the approximate water level to be viewed through the tank wall. This provides a convenient way to monitor the remaining contents without having to remove the lid.
A particularly useful feature of this tank is the inclusion of metal inserts in the base, allowing the tank to be securely bolted to a suitable chassis. This makes it well suited to vehicle-mounted and mobile water storage applications where the tank needs to be securely restrained.
The tank is supplied with a 3/4" BSP outlet and a 6" vented lid, providing convenient access for filling, inspection and cleaning.
With dimensions of approximately 550 × 1000 × 570 mm, the 215 litre tank provides a useful balance between storage capacity, compact dimensions and secure installation

Compact & Practical Design
The 215 Litre Water Tank has been designed to provide a useful amount of water storage while maintaining relatively compact overall dimensions.
Measuring approximately 550 × 1000 × 570 mm, the tank can be incorporated into a range of above-ground installations and mobile water systems.
Its round construction provides a strong and durable tank shape, while the integrated metal inserts in the base provide additional flexibility for secure installation.
The tank is particularly useful where it needs to be mounted onto a chassis or other suitable supporting structure.
Typical applications include:
- Mobile water storage
- Vehicle-mounted water systems
- Potable water storage
- Car valeting
- Window cleaning
- Vehicle cleaning
- Commercial cleaning
- Agricultural applications
- Horticultural applications
- Irrigation
- Temporary water storage
- General-purpose liquid storage
Chassis Mounting
One of the key features of the 215 litre tank is the inclusion of metal inserts in the base.
These inserts allow the tank to be bolted securely to a suitable chassis or supporting framework, making it particularly useful for mobile applications.
This feature can be beneficial where the tank is installed on:
- Vehicle chassis
- Trailers
- Mobile cleaning equipment
- Custom-built water systems
- Suitable supporting frames
The chassis, mounting structure and fixing system must be appropriately designed to support the fully loaded tank.
A full 215 litre tank contains approximately 215 kg of water, in addition to the weight of the tank and any fittings.
Suitable professional advice should be obtained where the tank is being mounted to a vehicle or other mobile structure.

The 215 Litre Water Tank is suitable for a wide range of static and mobile applications.
Typical uses include:

- Mobile cleaning systems
- Window cleaning
- Car valeting
- Vehicle cleaning
- Commercial cleaning
- Potable water storage
- Agricultural water storage
- Horticultural applications

The metal base inserts make the tank particularly useful for applications where secure chassis mounting is required.

Overseas orders
