The Prosperplast Rainwater Tank is for gardeners and allotment holders seeking an eco-friendly and aesthetically pleasing way to collect and reuse rainwater. Its key benefit is reducing reliance on mains water for gardening, saving money and supporting plant health. A potential caveat is its fixed 210L capacity, which may be insufficient for very large gardens or during extended dry periods. This decorative, amphora-style water butt efficiently collects rainwater, making watering flowers, maintaining lawns, and caring for plants easier and more sustainable.

This specific model has a capacity of 210 liters.
Yes, you will typically need a rainwater diverter kit to connect it to your downpipe and potentially a tap for easy water retrieval. These are usually sold separately.
It is recommended to clean the tank periodically, at least once or twice a year, to prevent debris buildup and maintain water quality. A more thorough clean might be needed if algae becomes noticeable.
While the plastic is durable, it is advisable to empty the tank during freezing temperatures to prevent damage from ice. You can then store it or leave it empty.
This model is available in Brick, Anthracite, and Grey.
The dimensions are approximately L: 56cm x W: 59.6cm x H: 113cm.
No, the amphora style is a decorative design that houses the functional rainwater storage container.
Ensure the rainwater diverter is correctly installed and connected to the downpipe and the tank inlet. Check for any blockages in the downpipe or diverter.
Check the tap and the tank's outlet for debris. Ensure the tap is fully open. If using a hose, check for kinks or blockages.
Relocate the tank to a firmer, level surface. Ensure it is not placed on uneven ground or soft soil.
While not harmful to plants, algae can be reduced by ensuring the tank is kept covered and out of direct sunlight, and by cleaning it periodically.
Setup: To set up the rainwater tank, place it on a stable, level surface. Ideally, position it near a downpipe from your roof. You will need a rainwater diverter kit (often sold separately) to channel water from the downpipe into the tank. Ensure the diverter is installed according to its specific instructions. A tap (also typically sold separately) can be installed near the base of the tank for easy access to the collected water. The tank is designed for outdoor use and should be kept upright.
Compatibility: The tank is compatible with standard garden downpipes when used with appropriate diverter kits. It can be used with standard watering cans or hoses (with a tap installed).
Care: Clean the tank periodically with mild soap and water using a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure the inlet and outlet (if a tap is fitted) are clear of debris. During winter, especially in areas with freezing temperatures, it is advisable to empty the tank to prevent potential damage from ice expansion. Check and clean any filters associated with your diverter system regularly.
