250 Litre Tower Water Tank
Product Overview
The 250 Litre Tower 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 upright baffled tank provides a nominal capacity of 250 litres, equivalent to approximately 55 imperial gallons. Its tall, narrow tower design makes efficient use of available floor space, making it particularly useful where a larger storage capacity is required but the available footprint is restricted.
The tank incorporates an integrated baffling system designed to reduce water movement during transportation. The internal baffles are formed through grooves and openings within the tank, helping to disrupt liquid movement and reduce side-to-side sloshing.
This makes the tank particularly suitable for mobile applications such as car valeting, window cleaning, vehicle cleaning and other situations where water needs to be transported in a vehicle.
The natural version is manufactured from translucent medium-density polyethylene, allowing the approximate water level to be viewed through the tank wall.
With an empty weight of approximately 19 kg and dimensions of 325 × 825 × 1100 mm, the tank offers a useful combination of high-capacity water storage, compact floor space and reduced liquid movement during transportation.

Tall, Space-Saving Tower Design
The 250 Litre Tower Water Tank has been designed to provide substantial water storage capacity while maintaining a relatively narrow footprint.
With dimensions of approximately 325 × 825 mm across its base and a height of approximately 1100 mm, the tower configuration makes efficient use of floor space.
This makes it particularly useful for installations where floor area is restricted but sufficient vertical clearance is available.
The upright configuration can be particularly beneficial for mobile cleaning vehicles, workshops, commercial premises and other installations where space needs to be used efficiently.
Typical applications include:
- Car valeting
- Window cleaning
- 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 space should be checked carefully before ordering to ensure the tank dimensions and required access are suitable.
Integrated Baffle System
The tank features an integrated internal baffling system designed to reduce the movement of water during transportation.
The baffles are created through grooves and openings that pass through the tank, helping to interrupt the movement of liquid and reduce side-to-side sloshing.
This makes the tank particularly suitable for applications where water needs to be transported by vehicle.
The baffled construction is particularly useful for:
- Car valeting
- Window cleaning
- Mobile vehicle cleaning
- Commercial cleaning
- Mobile pressure washing
- Vehicle-based water systems
- Liquid transportation
The baffles reduce water movement but do not eliminate it completely.
A full 250 litre tank contains approximately 250 kg of water, in addition to the weight of the tank itself. The tank must therefore be correctly installed and securely restrained before transportation.
Due to the design of the baffles, the usable capacity of the tank is reduced compared with an equivalent non-baffled tank.
Ideal for Car Valeting
The 250 litre capacity makes this tank a practical choice for professional car valeting and vehicle cleaning businesses requiring a mobile water supply.
The tower design provides a useful amount of storage while maintaining a relatively narrow footprint, making it easier to incorporate into suitable vehicle-based systems.
The integrated baffles help reduce water movement while the vehicle is travelling, making the tank particularly suitable for mobile valeting applications.
The natural translucent construction also provides a convenient visual indication of the remaining water level.
Ideal for Window Cleaning
The tank is also well suited to professional window cleaning applications.
Its 250 litre capacity provides a useful water reserve, while the tower configuration helps minimise the amount of floor space required.
The integrated baffle system helps reduce liquid movement during transportation, making the tank suitable for correctly secured mobile window cleaning systems.
The tank can be connected to suitable pumps, hoses and other window cleaning equipment using compatible fittings and accessories.
Applications
The 250 Litre Tower Water Tank is particularly suitable for mobile and above-ground water storage applications.
Typical uses include:
- Professional car valeting
- Window cleaning
- 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 tall, narrow tower configuration makes the tank particularly useful where floor space is limited, while the integrated baffling makes it suitable for transporting water when correctly installed and secured.
