Break Tank Installation

Break Tank Installation for Commercial Buildings in Dorset, Wiltshire, Hampshire & Somerset
If your premises has low water pressure, inconsistent flow, or unreliable mains supply, installing a break tank can be a smart and cost-effective solution.
A break tank creates a controlled water storage supply and helps protect your building’s internal system — especially in commercial premises where demand can spike at busy times.
At Total Energy Services, we supply and install commercial break tanks across Dorset, Wiltshire, Hampshire and Somerset, ensuring your water supply is reliable and suitable for the needs of your premises.
What Is a Break Tank?
A break tank is a cold-water storage cistern that stores incoming mains water and “breaks” the direct connection to the internal system.
This:
- helps protect against backflow risks
- provides a reserve of water
- stabilises supply in properties with weak mains flow
- improves reliability in high demand buildings
Break tanks are commonly installed with booster pumps, but the tank itself plays a key role in ensuring consistent supply.
Why Break Tanks Are Useful in Commercial Premises
Break tanks are ideal for:
- buildings in rural/off-gas locations
- properties with old pipework systems
- sites with lots of outlets (toilets, washrooms, showers)
- venues that experience peak-time demand (e.g., hotels)
They help prevent:
- pressure drops
- water starvation to pumps
- inconsistent flow
- supply issues during peak use
