They are designed to stand up to all kinds of weather conditions, and let’s face it, that can only be an advantage when it comes to the British weather. Bowsers additionally weigh much less than some other options, making them easier to handle and transport. Water bowsers are watertight so your water supply will not be contaminated by outside pollutions.

If the bowser is kept are at ground level or you wish to link several bowsers together, then an electronic pump can be used. Also, these containers can store more in less space, compared to drums and other types of containers. This allows you to optimise the room you have available.
