FAQ

Does UnitedBuilt offer flexibility in water tank length and gallonage?

UnitedBuilt offers a large combination of water tank configurations to accommodate length and gallonage requirements. Standard tank types can range from 1800 to 6000 gallons, and from 10 to 18 feet and longer. Tanks may be built to the classic modified ellipse, or to a modified trapezoid with radius bottom. 16 different gallons-per-foot configurations ensure that UnitedBuilt can meet nearly any water system specification.

Do I have a choice about the type and quantity of valves and spray heads to apply to my water truck?

UnitedBuilt builds a wide variety of spray systems. Your water delivery choices include how many valves, how many spray nozzles, how the nozzles are actuated, whether each spray or each bar is independently controlled, how many controls are on the cab console, whether to use ‘duckbill’ or adjustable type nozzles, and whether to use UnitedBuilt valve and nozzle products or those of a handful of other manufacturers, all in stock. In short, we are positioned to equip you with the water delivery application you need.
