WRAS Approved GRP Water Tanks for Safe Potable Water Storage

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.
