Water Pillow Tanks (Bladder Tanks)
Flexible Bulk Water Storage for Events, Construction & Emergency Supply
Temporary Water Solutions (TWS) supplies high-capacity water pillow tanks, also known as bladder tanks, for temporary bulk water storage. These flexible tanks provide a reliable solution for sites with high water demand where space, access, or ground conditions restrict the use of rigid tanks.
Water pillow tanks are widely used at festivals, large-scale public events, construction projects, infrastructure works, and emergency supply situations where dependable water storage is essential.
What Is a Water Pillow Tank?
A water pillow tank, sometimes called a bladder tank, is a flexible storage tank made from reinforced, heavy-duty materials. The tank expands as it fills with water and collapses when emptied.
Unlike rigid tanks, pillow tanks:
- Sit low to the ground
- Distribute weight evenly
- Require minimal structural support
- Can be deployed quickly
This makes them ideal for temporary installations and high-demand environments.
WRAS-Approved Water Pillow Tanks
All water pillow tanks supplied by Temporary Water Solutions are WRAS approved. This confirms that the materials and components meet recognised UK standards for contact with potable water.
WRAS approval ensures:
- Safe storage of drinking water
- Compliance with UK water regulations
- Suitability for public-facing environments
- Protection of water quality during storage
This is particularly important for festivals, commercial construction sites, and regulated industries where water safety and compliance are critical.
