Water Storage Tanks UAE
Looking for a water storage tank? Khazzan is a water storage tank supplier covering every type of tank in one place: domestic water storage tanks for homes, and plastic, GRP, underground, panel, septic and IBC tanks for businesses, delivered across the UAE.
Water Storage in the UAE: Why It Matters
Reliable water storage is part of nearly every building in the UAE. Mains pressure changes through the day, summer demand rises, and a tank between the supply and your taps keeps water available when it matters. A good water storage tank also protects water quality: the right material, a sealed lid and regular cleaning keep stored water safe and fresh.
The best water storage tanks depend on the job. A villa needs a different tank from a labour camp, and a rooftop plant room needs a different one from a garden with space for a buried tank. This page brings every type together so you can compare them, then go straight to the one that fits.

Domestic Water Storage Tanks
For most homes, domestic water storage tanks are plastic polyethylene tanks on the roof or ground. Pick 3-layer for standard use, 4-layer for added UV protection, or 5-layer where you want the water to stay cooler in summer.
If you have garden space and want a clean roof, an underground tank with a pump is the alternative. Both options are certified for drinking water and come with a warranty.
To size a domestic tank, use about 175 litres per person per day multiplied by the days of storage you want, or try the size finder.
| Household | Per day | 2 days | Tank |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 people | 350 L | 700 L | 200 USG |
| 4 people | 700 L | 1,400 L | 500 USG |
| 6 people | 1,050 L | 2,100 L | 750 USG |
| 8 people | 1,400 L | 2,800 L | 750 USG |
| 10 people | 1,750 L | 3,500 L | 1,000 USG |

Water Storage Tank Guides and Tools
Water Storage Tank FAQs
What is a water storage tank?
A water storage tank is a vessel that holds water so it is available when the mains supply is interrupted, low in pressure or not connected. In the UAE, homes, buildings and industrial sites all use water storage tanks as a buffer between the supply and the taps.
What types of water storage tanks are available in the UAE?
The main types are plastic (polyethylene) tanks, GRP fiberglass tanks, underground tanks, hot press panel (sectional) tanks and IBC tanks for water, plus GRP septic tanks for wastewater. Khazzan supplies all of them from one place.
What are domestic water storage tanks?
Domestic water storage tanks are the tanks used in homes and small residential buildings, typically plastic tanks of roughly 200 to 1,000 USG on the roof or ground, or an underground tank with a pump. The right size depends on how many people live in the home.
Which water storage tank is best for a villa?
Most villas use a plastic rooftop tank, often a 3-layer or 5-layer tank of 500 to 1,000 USG. A buried underground tank is a good choice where you want cooler water and no tank visible on the roof or in the garden.
How big a water storage tank do I need?
A common rule is 175 litres per person per day, multiplied by the days of storage you want. A family of 5 wanting 2 days of storage needs about 1,750 litres, so around a 500 USG tank. Use the size finder on this page for your own numbers.
What is the difference between plastic and GRP water storage tanks?
Plastic tanks are one-piece polyethylene, lighter and the usual choice up to about 6,000 USG. GRP tanks are glass reinforced plastic, stronger, available in much larger sizes and suited to commercial and industrial storage.
Are your water storage tanks safe for drinking water?
Our potable water tanks are made from food-grade materials and certified for drinking water storage by the UAE Municipality. Septic tanks are for wastewater only and must never be used for drinking water.
How do I choose between rooftop and underground water storage?
Rooftop tanks use gravity for pressure and are the simplest option. Underground tanks keep water cooler and free up space, but need excavation and a pump to lift the water. Many properties use an underground tank feeding a smaller rooftop tank.
Do you supply water storage tanks to contractors and businesses?
Yes. We supply homes, contractors, developers, facilities teams and industrial sites, including large GRP and sectional panel tanks, custom sizes and bulk orders.
How much does a water storage tank cost?
Price depends on type, capacity and layer count, so it is quoted per order. WhatsApp or call us with the size and type you need for a current quotation. See our price guides for typical market ranges.
Do you deliver water storage tanks across the UAE?
Yes, across all 7 emirates. Delivery is charged separately and varies by location, tank size and site access, and we confirm the exact figure before you order.
How often should a water storage tank be cleaned?
At least every 6 months, as required by Dubai Municipality and Abu Dhabi Municipality for potable water tanks. We offer a tank cleaning service for villas and commercial buildings.
What warranty do water storage tanks come with?
Warranty depends on the tank: 5 years on plastic tanks, 10 years on underground tanks, 2 years on GRP and panel tanks, and 1 year on septic tanks, with extended warranty options on custom GRP tanks.
Can you make a custom size water storage tank?
Yes. GRP and sectional panel tanks can be made to custom sizes and configurations. Send us your capacity, dimensions and site details for a quotation.
