On remote sites without access to mains water, extracting water from underground sources through boreholes provides a sustainable solution. Borehole water storage tanks play a crucial role in managing this natural resource effectively, ensuring consistent water availability for agricultural, construction, and industrial applications.
Boreholes are narrow shafts drilled into underground aquifers—natural stores of water beneath the earth's surface, similar in principle to traditional wells.
Borehole water is 100% natural and typically semi-potable, having been naturally filtered through layers of rock.
The quality of borehole water varies significantly depending on:
Important: In England and Wales, you must obtain formal consent from the Environment Agency before drilling a borehole and extracting water.
In rural and remote areas where mains water access is challenging or expensive, borehole water extraction offers significant advantages. Rather than physically transporting water tanks to site or relying solely on rainwater harvesting, borehole systems reduce ongoing operational costs while providing a reliable water source.
Sustainable borehole management respects the natural environment by:
Borehole water storage tanks are essential when the borehole supply cannot meet immediate demand or needs time to recharge after heavy usage. Quality storage tanks ensure extracted water remains:
Enduramaxx borehole water storage tanks are specifically designed for both indoor and outdoor locations. Our range includes:
All Enduramaxx water tanks are suitable for storing borehole water and are widely trusted by customers across agricultural, construction, and industrial sectors.
While borehole water is generally cleaner than untreated surface water, it may contain dissolved minerals, metals, and other impurities leached from surrounding geological formations. Before using borehole water for drinking or sensitive applications, appropriate treatment is essential.
Borehole water storage tanks can be equipped with:
Our potable water tanks are frequently deployed for temporary drinking water requirements at festivals, outdoor events, and construction sites requiring drinking water access.
Before drilling, you must:
Evaluate your site for:
