FAQs About Our Wholesome Water Delivery Service

What is potable water?

Potable water, commonly known as wholesome or drinking water, is treated water that is safe to consume and use in daily activities such as cooking, cleaning, and bathing. It undergoes rigorous purification processes to remove contaminants and pathogens, ensuring it meets the safety standards set by health authorities. For businesses, the significance of making the distinction between potable and non-portable water cannot be overstated, as it is essential for maintaining public health and hygiene.

Our dedication to quality makes our potable water delivery service a trusted choice for a wide range of needs, including residential areas, commercial settings, and public events. With Universal Tankers, you can be confident that you are accessing a potable water supply that is safe, reliable, and ready to serve your needs at any scale.

How does Universal Tankers ensure the quality of our wholesome water?

We adhere strictly to UK health regulations to ensure all of the potable water we supply is pure and safe for drinking.
Our potable water is sourced from certified clean water supplies that undergo regular testing and monitoring by their suppliers. We only work with water providers that ensure their water meets all applicable health and safety standards before it is even collected for delivery by treating it to eliminate any harmful microorganisms and contaminants. This ensures that the water we deliver is not only safe to drink but also tastes fresh and clean.

To maintain ongoing compliance with health standards, we demand our suppliers take frequent quality checks and share the results with us.

From our end, we regularly clean and sanitise any and all equipment used in the storage and transportation of the potable water. This includes our tankers, hoses, and fittings, which are meticulously maintained to prevent any risk of contamination during the delivery process.

Our operatives are professionally trained in the handling and delivery of potable water. They understand the critical importance of maintaining hygiene and safety standards and are equipped with the knowledge to manage and mitigate any risks effectively.
