Caravan Water System Specialists
Reliable Water Storage and Pressure on the Road
Low pressure, leaking tanks and limited water capacity can quickly disrupt an off-grid trip. AllBrand Caravan Services installs, upgrades, repairs and maintains caravan water tanks, pumps, filters and associated plumbing at our Sandgate workshop in Brisbane.
We assess how many people travel, typical daily water use, trip length, available mounting space, payload, axle loading and the existing plumbing before recommending a practical solution.
- New and replacement water tanks
- Additional fresh-water capacity
- Water-pump diagnosis and replacement
- Leak repairs, filters and pressure improvements
- Tank cleaning and system maintenance

Caravan Water Tank Upgrades & Additional Capacity
More water can extend the time between refill points, but the tank must suit the caravan—not simply fit into an empty space.
What we assess before adding capacity
- Daily water demand: Drinking, cooking, washing and shower use for the number of travellers.
- Payload: Water weighs approximately one kilogram per litre, before allowing for the tank, brackets and plumbing.
- Weight distribution: Tank position can affect axle loading, tow-ball mass and vehicle balance.
- Mounting protection: Secure mounting, road clearance and exposure to debris must be considered.
- Plumbing layout: Fillers, breathers, drains, pumps, isolation and tank selection need to work together.
We can recommend a replacement tank, an additional tank or improvements to the existing layout based on the caravan and how you travel.
Water Pump Repairs, Leaks, Filters & Maintenance
A pump that cycles unexpectedly, runs continuously, loses pressure or makes unusual noise may indicate a leak, blockage, air entering the system, an electrical fault or a worn pump.
- Leak diagnosis: Inspect accessible tanks, hoses, fittings, fillers, breathers and plumbing connections.
- Pump repairs and replacement: Match flow, pressure, voltage and duty requirements to the caravan system.
- Pressure control: Assess accumulator tanks, pressure switches and restrictions where appropriate.
- Filter servicing: Inspect and replace suitable strainers or filters according to their condition and manufacturer guidance.
- Tank cleaning: Maintain the system using procedures and products suitable for the tank material and intended water use.
Water-system issues can also cause hidden moisture damage. If you have unexplained dampness or staining, see our caravan water-ingress services. You can also explore our complete RV and motorhome upgrades.

Caravan Water Tank & Pump System FAQs
A water tank and pump system is a setup that provides a source of fresh water for caravans and motorhomes. It typically includes a water tank to store fresh water and a water pump to pressurise and deliver water to various fixtures and appliances inside the vehicle.
A reliable water tank system is essential for caravan and motorhome owners because it ensures a continuous supply of fresh water for various needs, including drinking, cooking, cleaning, and bathing, while travelling or camping in remote locations.
AllBrand Caravan Services offers a range of services related to water tank systems, including installation of new systems, adding additional tanks, and performing repairs and cleaning on existing tank and pump systems.
Often, yes, provided the caravan has suitable mounting space and payload capacity. Water weighs approximately one kilogram per litre, so tank weight, brackets, plumbing, axle loading and tow-ball mass must be considered before adding capacity.
Inspection and suitable maintenance can help manage sediment, odours, taste and system hygiene. Cleaning methods and products must be appropriate for the tank material and intended water use. Follow applicable manufacturer and public-health guidance for drinking-water systems.
The water pump pressurises and delivers water from the storage tank to various fixtures and appliances inside the caravan. It works by drawing water from the tank and creating the necessary pressure to distribute it throughout the vehicle.
Choosing the right system depends on factors like the size of your caravan, the number of occupants, your payload, the type of travelling you do and your water usage needs. Consulting with professionals like AllBrand Caravan Services can help you select the most suitable system for your requirements.
Common signs of issues with the water tank or pump system include low water pressure, unusual noises from the pump, leaks, and inconsistent water flow. If you notice any of these signs, it’s advisable to have your system inspected and repaired.
Depending on the existing system, useful upgrades may include a suitable pump, accumulator, pressure control, isolation valves, tank monitoring, strainers or filtration. The components must be compatible with the plumbing, electrical supply and intended water use.
