Temporary Water Storage with a Portable Bladder Tank

There are many ways water can be stored temporarily and depending on the application you should consider  carefully the following options.Water storage is often required on a temporary basis in many areas and applications. It may not be efficient or economical to install permanent tanks. An ideal solution is to buy a portable water bladder.

Types of portable water tanks:-

Bladder Tanks

Bladder tanks are fully enclosed shaped bladders used for the storage of liquids and are usually not self supporting. 
Pillow Tanks
The shape is custom made to fit the surrounding structure.Examples of shaped bladders include: water storage in the keel of yachts, storage to fit into the companionway on large yachts, to fit into shipping containers, under verandahs, under seats and in floor wells of vehicles etc. These bladders often used to store fuel, sewerage, grey water or potable water.

Pillow Tanks

Pillow tanks are a type of bladder tank, and are self supporting and have no walls as such. As they grow in height when filled, space is stolen from the edges of the bladder, giving it the traditional curved shape towards the middle. Pillow tanks need to be made very strong in order to withstand the constant stress loads. This will also limit the fill height that a bladder can go to.Pillow tanks, otherwise known as bladders and bladder tanks, are collapsible, portable tanks capable of storing a wide range of fluids including water, fuels, chemicals, oils, gases, liquids, effluents and slurries.

Recreational Bladders

When camping for long periods of time, it is handy to carry extra fuel and water with you. A recreational bladder is just a bladder used for camping or fishing purposes. It is very useful as it can fit into various recesses of the car such as a footwell or in the back seat.

Onion Tanks



Onion tanks are just a self erecting liquid storage tank with a access hole at the top. They grow to the size of the liquid contained within and are usually made from heavy duty reinforced PVC. They are setup

very quickly and are quite often found in firefighting applications where hydrants aren’t readily available. Commonly used where remote water supplied are needed.Onion tanks are a perfect solution for temporary liquid or chemical storage and where rapid deployment is required. They are also designed for ongoing use and an onion tank will, when properly maintained will offer a long service life.. Since no two applications are the same, we also use a wide range of materials. We can meet your specific storage requirements, whether you are storing potable water, chemical waste or some other liquid.

Portable Spill Bunds

Portable spill bunds are another class of temporary water storage. Smaller version are used in the prevention of spills and leaks, while larger versions can hold water or other liquids temporarily. They have self supporting walls and are often designed so that a vehicle or machinery can be driven in for wash down applications.
