Xerxes - Fiberglass Potable Water Tanks
Xerxes fiberglass tanks make storing safe drinking water refreshingly simple. Health and safety requirements for drinking water systems can be complex, but sourcing a tank that meets them shouldn’t be. Xerxes tanks offer numerous material and design advantages that make them reliable, potable water storage tanks. Lightweight tanks make installation in remote areas easy and cost effective. Locations with remote water sources or low-performing wells, such as parks, campgrounds, private residences, schools, churches and subdivisions may all find solutions to their water needs with a fiberglass water tank. Our fiberglass tank can be manufactured as an NSF-listed (and labeled) tank for dual-use: providing both potable water and fire protection water.
Xerxes tanks meet – or exceed – industry standards
- Tanks manufactured that are NSF/ANSI-61 listing (Drinking Water System Components – Health Effects)
- Manufacturing facilities that are NSF-certified

- Capacities from 600 to 60,000 gallons
- Designed to withstand H-20 / HS-20 axle loads

Recent changes in NFPA codes require system design alternatives, such as standby water reservoirs when the existing pressurized water supply is inadequate or when water-pressure levels are not dependable. The 2001 edition of NFPA 1142 Standard on Water Supplies for Suburban and Rural Fire Fighting depicts a fiberglass underground storage tank to illustrate a sole-source water cistern.
A Xerxes underground tank used as a water reservoir has many advantages over an aboveground tank used for the same purpose.
For instance, it does not occupy valuable property that could be used for parking or other needs, and it makes the property aesthetically pleasing. Also, since the tank is buried, it does not require the expensive protection against water freezing that might be necessary with an aboveground tank.
A growing trend is to use a water tank as a dual-purpose tank, such as for potable water and fire-protection water. A Xerxes fiberglass tank using NSF-listed resin is ideally suited for such dual-purpose applications.
