Can I drink the water collected in this tank?

No, the water collected is intended for garden use only and is not suitable for drinking.

How do I prevent debris from entering the tank?

The tank usually comes with or is designed to accommodate an inlet filter. Ensure this filter is regularly cleaned to keep debris out.

What are the dimensions of the tank?

The dimensions are approximately L: 56cm x W: 59.6cm x H: 113cm.

Is the tap included with the tank?

What should I do in winter to protect the tank?

Troubleshooting

Tank is not filling with water

Ensure the rainwater diverter is correctly installed and connected to the tank's inlet. Check that the downspout is not blocked.

Water leaking from the tap

Check that the tap is fully closed. If the leak persists, inspect the tap seal and tighten or replace if necessary.

Water has an odor or appears discolored

This can occur with stagnant water or if organic matter enters the tank. Drain and clean the tank thoroughly. Ensure the inlet filter is clear and consider using a tank lid or cover.

Tank appears unstable

The tank must be placed on a perfectly level and firm surface. Ensure there is no unevenness beneath the base, especially after rain. Relocate and re-level if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Cons

  • Requires a downspout diverter and connection kit (often sold separately)

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Choose a stable, level location for the tank, preferably near a downspout.
  2. Ensure the ground is firm to support the weight of the filled tank (up to 210kg).
  3. Install a rainwater diverter into your downspout. Follow the diverter's instructions for cutting and connecting to the tank's inlet.
  4. Connect the diverter hose to the tank's inlet.
  5. Ensure the tap at the base of the tank is securely fitted and closed.

Compatibility:

This tank is designed to connect to standard domestic downspouts. Compatibility with specific diverter kits should be checked with the diverter manufacturer. It is compatible with most standard garden hoses and watering cans via the integrated tap.

Care:

  • Regularly clean the inlet filter to prevent debris from entering the tank.
  • Inspect the tap and connections periodically for leaks.
  • In winter, drain the tank completely to prevent damage from freezing.
  • Clean the exterior with a mild detergent and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
