TankSmith is a Philippines-based supplier and installer of modular water tank systems, not a manufacturer. We source FRP, GRP, HDG steel, and stainless steel bolted panels from ISO 9001 certified partner factories, in capacities from 1,000 to 500,000 liters, and install them nationwide with a matching pressure booster pump system under one contract.
Is TankSmith a Water Tank Manufacturer or a Supplier?
TankSmith is not a tank factory. We are a Philippines-based turnkey supplier and installer of modular water tank systems. Our tank panels are produced at ISO 9001 certified partner factories, and we handle everything downstream of production: specification, delivery, on-site assembly, and commissioning. We also supply and install the pressure booster pump system that moves water out of the tank, so a single contract covers both the storage side and the pressure side of a water system. On most projects, the tank supplier and the pump contractor are two separate vendors with two separate warranties and two different teams to call when something does not perform as specified. With TankSmith, one team is accountable for both sides. If a project needs confirmation of manufacturing origin for compliance or tender documentation, ask us directly. We work with ISO 9001 certified partner factories rather than operating our own production line, and we would rather be upfront about that distinction than present ourselves as the factory.
Tank Materials and Capacity Range
TankSmith supplies four tank materials, each suited to different water quality and site requirements. FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) bolted panels are the most common choice for potable and process water storage, available with WRAS-certified panels rated for potable water up to 65C. GRP and SMC (sheet moulded compound) panels use a similar modular bolted-panel construction. Hot-dip galvanized (HDG) steel panels suit larger industrial and fire-reserve installations where mechanical strength is the priority. Stainless steel 304 and 316 panels are specified for food-grade, pharmaceutical, or corrosive environments where stainless is a hygiene or regulatory requirement. All four materials are available in modular capacities from 1,000 liters up to 500,000 liters per tank system, assembled from bolted panels on site rather than delivered as a single pre-formed vessel. This modular construction allows installation in tight-access locations such as condominium rooftops, where a one-piece tank of the same capacity could not be transported to the site. Panels carry a 3-year warranty, with a design life of 20 to 25 years.
Certifications and Warranty
Certifications are the clearest way to verify a tank supplier's claims, and TankSmith's panels carry four: WRAS-certified panels rated for potable water up to 65C, NSF-compliant liners, ISO 9001 manufacturer quality management system certification, and TUV SUD testing. These certifications apply to the tank panels themselves, produced at ISO 9001 certified partner factories, not to TankSmith as a construction or trading entity. If a tender or compliance document asks for a specific certificate, request the relevant document before specifying it in writing, since certification scope can vary by material and panel series. Every FRP panel installation carries a 3-year warranty, and the tank system has a design life of 20 to 25 years before major panel replacement is expected. This warranty period and design life hold regardless of water quality, so a potable water tank and a process water tank carry the same coverage.
Turnkey Installation: Tank and Pressure Booster Pump Under One Contract
Most water tank projects in the Philippines involve two separate vendors: a tank supplier and a pump contractor, each with its own warranty, its own site schedule, and its own point of contact when something does not perform as specified. TankSmith combines both under one contract. On the pump side, TankSmith supplies vertical multistage centrifugal booster pumps (CDL/CDLF series) from 0.37 kW to 200 kW, built in SS304 stainless steel. These pair with VFD duplex control panels, rated IP54, with pressure feedback and auto-alternation between pump units, so the system does not rely on a single pump running continuously. Because the tank and the pump system are specified, supplied, and commissioned by the same team, the interface between the two, meaning pipe sizing, suction head, and pressure setpoints, is designed as one system rather than reconciled on site between two vendors after the fact. Commissioning covers both the mechanical installation and the electrical control panel setup before handover.
Industries and Nationwide Coverage
TankSmith installs across seven recurring project types: commercial laundry operations sized to kg per day linen throughput, hotels and resorts needing rooftop retrofit with booster pump integration, hospitals and clinics requiring redundancy and code-compliant fire reserve, food manufacturing facilities needing WRAS-compliant potable water storage, warehouses and manufacturing sites needing fire reserve or process water, condominiums and high-rises needing rooftop installation in tight-access conditions, and industrial estates inside SBMA, Clark, Cavite, and Batangas, including PEZA and freeport-registered facilities. Coverage is nationwide: NCR, the rest of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, in addition to the freeport and PEZA zones listed above. Site access and civil readiness (slab, rooftop load capacity, pipe routing) affect installation scheduling more than distance from Metro Manila does, so a rooftop retrofit in a tight-access NCR building can take longer to schedule than a ground-level tank in a provincial industrial estate with open access.
Installation Timeline and What a Quotation Requires
Installation timelines for TankSmith projects range from 5 to 14 days for systems between 20,000 and 500,000 liters, with the exact duration set by two factors: tank capacity and civil readiness. Civil readiness means the foundation slab or rooftop structure is already built to the load specification the tank requires, and that site access for panel delivery is confirmed before the installation crew arrives. A site with civil works already complete installs at the faster end of the range; a site still finalizing its slab or rooftop structural review adds that civil works timeline on top of the 5 to 14 day installation window. To quote a project accurately, TankSmith needs four pieces of information: required capacity in liters, intended water use (potable, process, or fire reserve), site location and access constraints, and whether a booster pump system is also needed. Submitting these four details with a quote request shortens the time between inquiry and a firm, site-specific quotation.
Frequently Asked Questions
TankSmith is a supplier and installer, not a manufacturer. We are a Philippines-based company that specifies, delivers, assembles, and commissions modular water tank systems. The tank panels themselves are produced at ISO 9001 certified partner factories rather than on our own production line. We also supply and install the matching pressure booster pump system, so one contract and one team cover both the tank and the pump, instead of splitting the project between a tank vendor and a separate pump contractor.
TankSmith supplies four modular bolted-panel materials: FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic), GRP/SMC, hot-dip galvanized (HDG) steel, and stainless steel 304 or 316. Capacities range from 1,000 liters to 500,000 liters per tank system. Because the tanks are built from bolted panels assembled on site, they can be installed in tight-access locations, such as condominium or hotel rooftops, where a single pre-formed tank of the same capacity could not be delivered. Panel selection depends on water type and site environment: FRP and GRP for general potable or process water, stainless steel for food-grade or corrosive environments.
TankSmith's tank panels carry four certifications: WRAS-certified panels rated for potable water up to 65C, NSF-compliant liners, ISO 9001 manufacturer quality management system certification, and TUV SUD testing. These certifications apply to the panels, produced at ISO 9001 certified partner factories, not to TankSmith as a trading entity. Panel installations carry a 3-year warranty with a design life of 20 to 25 years. If a project's tender documentation requires a specific certificate, request the relevant document from TankSmith before specifying it in writing, since certification scope varies by material and panel series.
TankSmith supplies and installs both. On the pump side, TankSmith offers vertical multistage centrifugal booster pumps (CDL/CDLF series) from 0.37 kW to 200 kW in SS304 stainless steel, paired with VFD duplex control panels rated IP54, with pressure feedback and auto-alternation between units. Because the tank and pump are specified and commissioned by the same team under one contract, pipe sizing, suction head, and pressure setpoints are designed as a single system rather than reconciled on site between two separate vendors after installation.
Installation takes 5 to 14 days for tank systems between 20,000 and 500,000 liters. The exact duration depends on tank capacity and civil readiness, meaning whether the foundation slab or rooftop structure is already built to the required load specification and site access is confirmed. A project with civil works already complete installs at the faster end of the range. To get an accurate quote, provide required capacity in liters, intended water use, site location and access constraints, and whether a booster pump system is also needed.
