Vacuoles are used to store water and provide the turgor pressure needed for the cell to maintain shape. Also, the serve as a storage place for unwanted chemicals, such as salts, that might be building up in the cell. They are also used to maintain pH, which is done by pumping H ions into or out of the vacuole as needed.
