Product Information

Full details

This 400L flat, slim, wall-mounted rainwater tank is ideal for homeowners looking to efficiently collect and store rainwater in space-limited gardens. Its primary benefit is its space-saving, wall-hugging design that maximizes storage capacity without protruding excessively. A potential caveat is the need for a suitable downpipe and connection point for installation. This system helps you harvest water for garden use, reducing reliance on mains water.
