Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between FRP/GRP and steel water tanks?

FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) and GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) tanks are the same material referred to by different names. They are significantly more affordable than steel tanks and are easier to maintain, making them the most common choice for general water storage applications in Singapore.

Steel tanks — whether HDG pressed steel or stainless steel — are typically heavier-duty, may offer a longer service life, and are often required for specific applications such as fire protection systems. However, they come at a higher cost.

We are happy to go through the options with you in more detail — feel free to contact us.

What is the difference between SS304 and SS316 stainless steel tanks?

Both are stainless steel, but they serve different purposes:

SS316 is suitable for potable (drinking) water storage. In Singapore, only SS316 and FRP/GRP tanks comply with standards for drinking water use.
SS304 is suitable for non-potable water storage and fire protection applications. It is a more cost-effective option and is widely used for industrial and commercial water storage.

If your water is not for drinking purposes, SS304 is generally the more practical and economical choice. If drinking water compliance is required, SS316 is the appropriate option.

Are your HDG pressed steel tanks approved for fire protection use in Singapore?

Yes. Our HDG pressed steel tanks are SS22 approved, which is the standard required for fire protection water tanks in Singapore under SCDF requirements. They are suitable for sprinkler systems, hosereel systems, and wet riser systems.

Please note that while we supply and install SS22-compliant tanks, we do not handle the SCDF submission process directly. If you require end-to-end support including regulatory submissions, we can connect you with our trusted partners who specialise in this.

Do you supply insulated water tanks?

Yes. We offer insulated FRP/GRP water tanks for applications where temperature control of stored water is important. Contact us to find out if an insulated tank is suitable for your requirements.
