FAQs

What is the main purpose of this rainwater tank?

The primary purpose is to collect and store rainwater from your roof via downpipes, allowing you to use it for garden watering and other outdoor non-potable uses, thus conserving tap water.

Is the connection kit easy to install?

Yes, the kit includes 13 pieces designed for a simple and quick assembly, with a hole saw provided to make necessary openings.

What type of downpipes can this tank connect to?

The universal connections included in the kit are designed to offer compatibility with most standard household downpipe types.

How often should the filter be cleaned?

It is recommended to check and clean the external water filter regularly, especially after heavy rainfall or during periods of high debris fall, to ensure optimal performance.

Can I drink the water collected in this tank?

No, this rainwater is intended for garden use only and is not suitable for drinking or other potable purposes.

What are the dimensions of the tank?

The tank dimensions are 58cm (L) x 58cm (W) x 118cm (H).

Does the kit include a hose for watering?

Yes, the kit includes a 140cm garden hose with a 15mm diameter for drawing water from the tank.

Troubleshooting

Tank is not filling with water

Ensure the connection between the downpipe and the tank is secure and free of debris. Check that the gutter collector is properly aligned with the downpipe.

Water is leaking from connections

Tighten all hose connections and ensure seals are properly seated. Re-apply sealant if necessary.

Low water pressure from the tap

Check the tap itself for blockages. Ensure the hose is not kinked. If using a very long hose, pressure will naturally decrease.

Filter is clogged frequently

Clean the filter more regularly. Trim overhanging tree branches that may be dropping excess debris onto the roof.
