Water is life! Every household needs clean water daily for drinking, cooking, bathing, washing clothes, and more. Even in Urban water supply is no longer consistent. One day, taps run dry. The next, tankers show up late or not at all. As cities grow and water resources shrink, relying solely on municipal systems or traditional concrete tanks is not enough.
With Storewel, Every Building Becomes a Self-Sufficient Water Hub
We need a smarter, more flexible solution.
That solution is decentralised water storage and Storewel makes it work.
What Are Water Tanks Made Of?
There are two common types:
Plastic Water Tanks: Made from special strong plastic (HDPE – high-density polyethylene). These are the black, blue or white tanks we see on rooftops.
Concrete Water Tanks (Cement Tanks): Made from cement, sand, water, and steel rods (RCC – reinforced cement concrete). These are usually built by masons on-site or pre-cast.
Why Storewel Tanks Are Redefining Urban Water Storage
Traditional cement & concrete tanks are rigid, crack-prone and hard to maintain.
Storewel tanks offer a smarter alternative combining engineering precision, leak-free performance and modular adaptability.
From decentralised load distribution to faster installation, they’re built for how cities live today.
1. Weatherproof & Worry-Free
Made from UV-resistant, food-grade plastic, Storewel tanks don’t corrode, chip, or degrade. Cement tanks often develop moss, require waterproofing, and suffer wear n tear with weather that requires frequent maintenance leading to supply stoppages for the duration of the work.
2. Smart Use of Space
Need rooftop storage? Have limited basement space? Storewel offers modular, vertical, and horizontal options perfect for dense urban environments. Cement tanks are bulky and fixed in shape and size.
3. Easy Installation
Storewel tanks are quick and easy to install and are ready to use within a few hours, whereas cement tanks take a much longer time for commissioning.
4. Expandable and Scalable
As your needs grow, Storewel tanks can be connected in series to increase storage something rigid cement tanks cannot offer.
5. Minimal Maintenance, Maximum Lifespan
Storewel tanks require little to no maintenance thanks to their smooth, non-porous surface that resists algae, scaling, and contamination.Cement tanks, on the other hand, often demand regular waterproofing, internal cleaning, and crack repairs adding to time and cost.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. It depends on your home, family size, space, and budget. But if you’re asking…
“Is a plastic water tank better than a cement water tank?”
In most city homes today, plastic water tanks win for ease, hygiene and price.
Still, cement water tanks have their place especially for big storage, cooler water or underground systems.
Storewel’s decentralised tank systems are about more than storage. They’re about self-reliance, efficiency and sustainability. With tanks that are durable, hygienic and modular, you’re not just storing water, you’re securing your future.
Be Future-Ready. Be Water-Smart.
Water security doesn’t come from waiting for a tanker, it comes from storing what you need, right where you need it.
