AQUASTOW

Panels are manufactured by the Hot Press Moulding process for optimum engineered precision and high performance finish at a closely controlled temperature of 140ºC.

Mechanised production process ensures guaranteed manufacturing tolerances of +/- 0.5mm.

Aquastow's precisely formulated sheet moulding compound provides a smooth, crevice-free panel surface that is impervious on all sides.

All Aquastow mouldings are UV stabilised conforming to BS 5734 : Part 5.

The Aquastow tank bracing design eliminates "point loads".

AQUATHERM Insulated Panels are supplied with a waterproof skin with a calculated heat transmittance of 0.489 w/m² ºC.

Tanks can be erected on screeded bases, steel beams or piers.

In order to meet individual needs of each installation design, a wide range of optional accessories are available including ball valve boxes, cat and mouse indicators, remote gauges, access door designs etc.

QUALITY ASSURED

One Piece Water Storage Tanks -
DURABLE

The water tanks are formed as one piece or split mouldings manufactured from unsaturated polyester resin, reinforced with glass fibre to BS/EN 13280:2001. Tanks are unaffected by extremes of temperature.

Durable tanks are tested and approved by the Water Regulations Advisory Service.

With the awareness of legionella and water borne health hazards, the interior surfaces are smooth with generous radii to facilitate official and thorough cleaning. The availability of the pre-insulated tanks enables stored water to be protected against heat gain, keeping water below the recommended 20ºC as protection against legionella.

Inner surfaces are Isophthalic gel coated approved by the Water Research Centre for storage of portable water.

Rectangular containers, with non-standard shapes and sizes are available to order.

Internal surfaces are smooth with generous radii, external, natural lay up finish.

To comply with the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 all tanks are available with lids, vents, warning pipes and screened overflow.

Durable tanks will not react to any materials or jointing compounds approved for the use in water supply and storage. If chemicals are to be stored in our vessels, consult us prior to ordering for technical advice.
