A: The primary purpose of a water tank in a vehicle is to provide a convenient and accessible source of water while traveling or camping. It allows occupants of the vehicle to have access to clean water for drinking, cooking, cleaning, and other daily activities, even in remote locations where water sources may not be readily available.

A: Water tanks in vehicles are typically equipped with a fill port that allows water to be added to the tank. They are also fitted with outlets and plumbing systems that connect to faucets or other water supply points inside the vehicle. When needed, water is pumped or gravity-fed from the tank to the desired location through the plumbing system.

1. What measurements do I need to take to determine the correct size water tank for my vehicle?
   To determine the correct size water tank for your vehicle, you will need to measure the available space where the tank will be installed. Take measurements of the length, width, and height of the area, considering any constraints or limitations such as obstructions, plumbing outlet and breather and bracket locations.
2. Are there any standard sizes for vehicle water tanks?
   Vehicle water tanks come in various shapes and sizes to accommodate different vehicles and storage requirements. While there are standard sizes available, it's important to measure your specific vehicle to ensure the best fit and utilization of available space.
3. Should I consider the vehicle's weight capacity when choosing a water tank size?
   Yes, it's crucial to consider the weight capacity of your vehicle when selecting a water tank size. Exceeding the recommended weight limit can impact your vehicle's performance, handling, and safety. Refer to your vehicle's specifications or consult with the manufacturer to determine the maximum weight capacity for your vehicle.
4. Can I customise the size of a water tank to fit my vehicle?
   Yes, Water On Board has many different options available but sometimes a custom-sized tank based on your requirements might be the only option.
5. Are there any other factors to consider besides size when choosing a water tank for my vehicle?
   Yes, in addition to size, there are a few other factors to consider when choosing a water tank for your vehicle. Material the ank is made from

This all depends on how much water you think you need for what you are doing?

More water is always better for those long camping trips, but weight is also a factor. Every litre is 1 kg of extra weight, keeping in mind your vehicle must not exceed the GVM. Anywhere from 20-60L is generally enough water.

It also depends on what you can fit in your vehicle. Keeping the Tank as low as possible is also the best option to keep the centre of gravity low.

Yes, there are a few safety considerations when it comes to water tanks in vehicles:

1. Weight Distribution: Ensure that the weight of the water in the tank is distributed evenly within the vehicle to maintain stability and avoid affecting handling or performance.
2. Secure Mounting: Properly secure the water tank to prevent shifting or detachment during travel, which could cause damage or accidents.
3. Cross-Contamination: Avoid cross-contamination by using separate plumbing systems and outlets for freshwater, greywater, and blackwater. This prevents the risk of consuming contaminated water.
4. Regular Inspections: Periodically inspect the tank, plumbing connections, and valves for any signs of wear, leaks, or damage. Promptly address any issues to prevent further complications.

A: There are various types of water tanks used in vehicles, including:

1. Freshwater Tanks: These tanks store clean, potable water for drinking, cooking, and other domestic purposes.
2. Greywater Tanks: These tanks collect wastewater from sinks, showers, and other drains inside the vehicle. Greywater is non-potable and requires separate disposal.

Water tanks can be made from various materials, and the choice of material depends on factors such as cost, durability, compatibility, and safety. Here are some common materials used for water tanks, along with their safety considerations:

1. Polyethylene (Plastic) is a popular choice for water tanks due to its affordability, lightweight nature, and resistance to corrosion. They're generally considered safe for storing potable water but beware of cheap knock offs because they are made very thin and crack easily meaning you will have to buy twice.
2. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) water tanks are engineered to withstand the harshest environmental conditions. HDPE is highly resistant to corrosion, grease, oils, UV radiation, and impacts, ensuring that your tank remains intact and functional for many years to come giving unmatched durability and are food-grade material to ensure they meet Australian safety standards.
3. Fiberglass tanks are durable, lightweight, and resistant to rust and corrosion. They are typically constructed using layers of fiberglass reinforced with resin. Fiberglass tanks are generally considered safe for water storage. However, it's important to ensure the tank is manufactured with materials that meet safety standards and regulations.

Stainless steel tanks are known for their strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion. But they have a tendency to crack along the welds if they are made

Here are some general tips for maintaining a water tank in a vehicle:

1. Cleanliness: Regularly clean and sanitise the tank to prevent the growth of bacteria and algae. Use appropriate cleaning agents and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
2. Water Quality: Fill the tank with clean and potable water from a trusted source. Avoid using water from unknown or potentially contaminated sources.

This depends on how many outlets you have and if they are going to be used at the same time.

Series 22 - Basic hand washing and drinking fountain. Delivering 100PSI @ 5 LPM

RV Supreme - Supplies pressure for 3 outlets. Best value for general use, washing, hot showers and camping. Delivering 55PSI @ 9.5 LPM)

Series 51 - Supplies the most pressure for 4 plus outlets being used simultaneously. Best for high pressure washing, hot showers and camping. Delivering 70 PSI @ 18.9 LPM

A Non return valve makes sure the water only flows in one direction and is important for all of our water pump systems. When filling your tank it prevents pressure on the pump discharge side preventing pump damage. Pump failure can be caused by not having a non-return valve.

Seaflo diaphram water pumps are run dry safe. This allows the pump to run for a short period of time whilst dry without causing pump damage.

An accumulator is a pressurizied tank that maintains water pressure throughout the system. The pump fills the accumulator with water and when you open the tap, the bladder in the accumulator tank will push out the pressurized water. The pump will automatically cycle to maintain a set pressure in the system giving you a more constant supply of wtaer pressure.

This is the best setup for Food service, Coffee vans & Caravans. The pump will run less frequently and you don’t run the risk of burning out the pressure switch on the pump. It also provides protection from water surging, protecting your coffee machine.

You must check in the owners manual of your vehicle to see if your vehicle is 12 or 24 Volt.
