Réservoir d'eau pour bateau
At sea, the question of water on board is essential. All the more so on offshore programs. Water management on your boat becomes a matter of survival, rather than comfort, when you're out to sea for several days. Depending on the size of your boat, you'll need different water systems and groups. In our water on board category, you'll find everything you need to equip your boat with water tanks and rigid tanks. These water tanks are very useful for access to a source of clean water on board. Don't forget to bring a sufficient quantity of drinking water on board. All our water tanks, whether flexible or rigid, are made of food-safe polyethylene to preserve your drinking water as much as possible.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF WATER TANKS
When we talk about on-board water tanks, we're generally referring to the storage of fresh water (for showering, cooking, washing up, etc.) and drinking water on your boat. Without it, you won't be able to go out to sea at all. An essential piece of equipment on board, freshwater tanks come in two main types: flexible and rigid. Both offer different advantages and disadvantages, depending on your needs and space on board.
FLEXIBLE WATER TANK
Because of its shape, a flexible tank offers an inexpensive and easy-to-use solution for storing fresh water on board your sailboat. Manufactured from food-grade polyurethane or polyethylene, water tanks are flexible and highly resistant. They are practical, reliable and space-saving. Their ability to fit almost anywhere on board, even in the tightest spaces, means you can place them wherever a standard rigid tank would not fit. We recommend the use of a flexible water tank when space is at a premium. The Plastimo freshwater tanks are available in a range of liter sizes (from 35 to 200l) to suit all on-board spaces.
RIGID WATER TANK
Stronger, thanks to its high-density polyethylene shell, the rigid water tank is more durable and eliminates the risk of leaks. Available in a range of liter capacities, the rigid tank is nevertheless more bulky. Its rectangular shape doesn't always fit the contours of the space where you want to install it. It can be a real headache to find the ideal place on board. Nevertheless, a rigid tank with integrated pump will enable you to supply water to a sink or deck shower.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT WATER TANK
To choose the right water tank, it's important to take into account the volume of water you'll need for your sailing program, based on the size of your boat, the space available on board and the number of people accompanying you. Different storage solutions are available. From flexible or rigid tanks, to water cows and water tanks with pumps, our selection of products available for sale online will enable you to meet all your needs. You should also consider water tanks for collecting wastewater, or black and gray water. A wastewater tank will enable you to comply with current standards, as well as limiting your impact on the environment.
