FAQs

Does the tank come with a tap included?

No, the tap and downpipe connection kits are sold separately, allowing you to choose the specific hardware that fits your irrigation needs.

Can this tank withstand freezing temperatures?

It is strongly recommended to drain the tank completely before freezing weather arrives to prevent potential cracking or structural damage.

What is the total weight of the tank when full?

When full, the water alone weighs 500kg, plus the weight of the tank unit itself. Ensure your foundation can support at least 550kg.

How do I connect the tank to my downpipe?

You will need a standard rain diverter kit. You must drill or cut into your downpipe to install the diverter, which then directs water into the tank's top opening.

Is the stone finish real stone?

No, it is a high-quality decorative finish designed to mimic the appearance of natural stone while remaining lightweight and durable.

Troubleshooting

Water leaking from the tap connection

Ensure the tap is tightened properly and check if thread seal tape (PTFE) is applied to the threads.

Tank is unstable on the ground

Verify that the base is level and free of soft soil or gravel that may shift under the weight of the water.

Debris accumulating inside

Ensure your downpipe diverter includes a filter or leaf trap to prevent organic matter from entering the tank.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Aesthetically pleasing stone-textured finish
  • Space-saving slimline rectangular profile
  • Generous 500-litre capacity
  • Easy access for cleaning via top cover

Cons

  • Taps and connection kits sold separately
  • Larger footprint requires a sturdy, level surface
  • Requires additional hardware for downpipe integration

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Base Preparation: Ensure the ground is perfectly level and firm. A full 500-litre tank weighs over 500kg, necessitating a solid base such as concrete or compressed pavers.
  2. Downpipe Connection: Purchase a compatible downpipe diverter kit to channel rainwater into the top of the unit.
  3. Tap Installation: Select a standard tap fitting that matches the tank's threaded holes. Apply thread seal tape if necessary to prevent drips.
  4. Care & Maintenance: Periodically remove the top cover to clear out leaves or debris. During winter months, it is advisable to drain the tank completely to prevent damage caused by freezing water expansion.
