FAQs

How do I clean the tank?

Rinse the tank with clean water periodically. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals.

What happens if the tank overflows?

The Rain Trap is designed to manage overflow. Ensure it is correctly installed and that the overflow path is clear.

Can I use the water for drinking?

The collected water is not intended for potable use. It is suitable for garden watering, car washing, and other non-potable purposes.

What is the warranty on the tank?

Please refer to the product documentation for warranty details. The tank is built with high-quality materials to ensure durability.

How do I winterize the tank?

Empty the tank completely before the freezing temperatures to prevent cracking.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Contact the manufacturer or your local retailer for replacement taps, connectors, or other parts.

Troubleshooting

Tank is not filling with water.

Check that the Rain Trap connector is correctly installed and securely attached to both the downpipe and the tank. Ensure there are no blockages in the downpipe or connector.

Water is leaking from the taps.

Tighten the tap connections. If leaks persist, replace the taps or washers.

Water level monitor is not working.

Inspect the monitor for blockages or damage. Replace if necessary.
