When storing potable water, compliance, durability, and water quality are critical. WRAS approved GRP water tanks provide a reliable, regulation-compliant solution for domestic, commercial, and industrial water storage. At Drayton Tank, we supply high-quality Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) water tanks designed to meet UK Water Regulations and deliver long-term performance.
What Is a WRAS Approved GRP Water Tank?
A WRAS approved water tank has been tested and certified by the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme to ensure it is safe for contact with drinking water. This approval confirms that materials used in the tank will not cause contamination, taste, odour, or bacterial growth.
GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) is a composite material made from reinforced fibres and resin, offering exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and hygienic performance — making it ideal for potable water storage.
Benefits of WRAS Approved GRP Water Tanks
Choosing a WRAS approved GRP tank offers multiple advantages:
✔ UK Water Regulations Compliance
WRAS approval ensures full compliance with Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations, helping avoid installation delays or regulatory issues.
✔ Safe Drinking Water Storage
Smooth internal surfaces reduce sediment build-up and bacterial growth, maintaining clean and safe potable water.
✔ Long Service Life
GRP tanks do not rust, corrode, or degrade like steel or galvanised tanks, resulting in a significantly longer lifespan.
✔ High Strength & Structural Integrity
GRP tanks are lightweight yet extremely strong, suitable for both internal and external installations.
✔ Low Maintenance
Minimal maintenance requirements reduce long-term operational costs.
GRP Water Tanks vs Other Materials
Compared to traditional materials, GRP water storage tanks offer clear advantages:
| Tank Type | Durability | Corrosion Resistance | WRAS Approved Options |
|---|---|---|---|
| Galvanised Steel | Medium | Low | Limited |
| Plastic (MDPE) | Medium | High | Yes |
| GRP | High | Very High | Yes (Preferred) |
GRP is widely specified for commercial and critical water storage applications where reliability is essential.
