Different water requirements need different capacities. Compare tanker sizes, typical use cases and the properties each capacity suits before you book.
Call or WhatsApp our 24/7 dispatch team.
Capacities available depend on service type, quantity and current fleet availability. If you are unsure, send your tank or pool details and we will recommend a size.
Not sure which tanker size you need? WhatsApp our team and we will help you choose.
A general guide only. The right size also depends on access, tank inlet position and how quickly you need the volume delivered.
| Capacity (Gallons) | Typically suits | Category |
|---|---|---|
| 1,000 - 1,500 | Villa top-ups, small storage tanks | Residential |
| 2,500 - 3,000 | Standard villa tanks, small pools | Residential |
| 5,000 | Large villa tanks, mid-size pools, small sites | Mixed use |
| 10,000 | Commercial premises, larger pools, active sites | Commercial |
| 15,000 | Labour accommodation, bulk project supply | Project scale |
| Custom | Requirements beyond standard capacities | On request |
Sending a tanker that is too large for the access, or too small for the volume, wastes everyone time. Share your requirement and we will confirm the most efficient option before dispatch.
Multiple capacities are available depending on the water type, quantity and requirement, from small residential top-ups through to project-scale bulk supply.
Send your tank capacity, pool dimensions or site requirement on WhatsApp and we will recommend a suitable tanker size.
Yes. Partial loads are available where you only need to top a tank up rather than fill it completely.
Yes. Multiple loads can be scheduled back to back for pools, sites and bulk requirements.
Yes. Pricing depends on water type, capacity, quantity and timing. We confirm the price before dispatch.
Two calculations and one practical constraint cover almost every sizing decision.
For a rectangular tank, multiply length × width × depth in metres, then multiply the result by roughly 220 to get approximate gallons. A tank 3m × 2m × 1.5m holds around 1,980 gallons.
If the tank is partly full, you only need the shortfall — not the full capacity. Estimating how far down the level has dropped is usually close enough for us to send the right load.
Same formula, but use average depth rather than maximum depth if the floor slopes. A pool 8m × 4m at 1.5m average depth is around 10,500 gallons — one larger tanker or two mid-size loads.
Send the dimensions on WhatsApp and we will confirm the number of loads before you commit to anything.
Capacity is only half the decision. The other half is whether a vehicle that size can actually reach your delivery point.
Narrow community roads, tight industrial yards, low gate clearances, parked cars and long hose runs all constrain which tanker we can send. A smaller vehicle making two trips is sometimes faster than a large one that cannot get close enough to discharge.
You do not have to buy a full tanker. Partial loads are available where you only need to bring a tank back up rather than fill it from empty.
For volumes beyond a single tanker — pools, sites, accommodation — loads are scheduled back to back so the job completes in one visit rather than spread across days.
