650 Litre Upright Water Tank
Product Overview
The 650 Litre Upright 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 tank provides a substantial 650 litre storage capacity, equivalent to approximately 172 imperial gallons. Its upright configuration provides a practical solution for applications requiring a large volume of stored water while making efficient use of available floor space.
The tank is manufactured in natural translucent medium-density polyethylene as standard, allowing the approximate water level to be viewed through the tank wall. This provides a convenient way to monitor the remaining contents without needing to open the tank.
This model incorporates an integrated baffling system, making it particularly suitable for applications where water needs to be transported. The internal grooves and openings help disrupt the movement of liquid inside the tank, reducing water sloshing from side to side during transportation.
The tank is supplied with a 1" BSP outlet and an 8" lid, with a range of optional accessories available including tap kits, hosetail kits, filter baskets, float valves, outlet plugs and pressure washers.
With dimensions of approximately 575 × 1250 × 1010 mm and an empty weight of approximately 42 kg, this tank provides a substantial water storage capacity while retaining a practical upright footprint.

High-Capacity Upright Design
The 650 Litre Upright Water Tank has been designed for applications where a substantial volume of water is required without using the footprint of a large horizontal tank.
Measuring approximately 575 mm wide, 1250 mm long and 1010 mm high, the upright design provides 650 litres of storage capacity while maintaining a practical rectangular footprint.
This makes the tank suitable for a wide range of fixed and mobile applications, including:
- Potable water storage
- Water transportation
- Window cleaning
- Car valeting
- Vehicle cleaning
- Commercial cleaning
- Mobile cleaning equipment
- Agricultural applications
- Horticultural applications
- Irrigation
- Site water storage
- Temporary water supplies
- General-purpose liquid storage
The available installation space should be checked carefully before ordering, including sufficient clearance above the tank for access to the lid.
Integrated Baffle System
One of the key features of this tank is its integrated baffling system.
The baffles are formed through grooves and openings that run through the tank and are designed to disrupt the movement of liquid.
When the tank is transported with water inside, liquid can naturally move from side to side. This movement, commonly known as sloshing, can affect vehicle stability and create additional movement within the tank.
The internal baffles help reduce this movement by breaking up the flow of water inside the tank.
This makes the 650 litre tank particularly suitable for mobile applications such as:
- Window cleaning
- Car valeting
- Mobile vehicle cleaning
- Commercial cleaning
- Mobile pressure washing
- Water transportation
- Agricultural applications
- Site-based mobile water systems
The baffling system is designed to reduce liquid movement but does not eliminate it completely. The tank must therefore be properly supported and securely restrained whenever it is transported.
Applications
The 650 Litre Upright Water Tank is suitable for a wide variety of domestic, commercial, agricultural and mobile applications.
Typical uses include:
- Potable water storage
- Water transportation
- Window cleaning
- Car valeting
- Mobile vehicle cleaning
- Commercial cleaning
- Mobile pressure washing
- Agricultural applications
- Horticultural applications
- Irrigation
- Site water storage
- Temporary water supplies
- General-purpose liquid storage
The integrated baffling makes the tank particularly useful where water needs to be transported, helping to reduce liquid movement while the vehicle or equipment is in motion.

Overseas orders

A purchase order is required; we will then create a pro-forma invoice, and tanks are ordered on clearance of funds.
