This 400L flat rainwater tank from Prosperplast is designed for homeowners and gardeners seeking a stylish and space-saving solution for rainwater harvesting. Its primary benefit is efficiently collecting and storing a significant volume of water directly against a wall, reducing garden footprint. A key consideration is that it requires a downpipe diverter kit, which may be sold separately, to function optimally. The slimline design ensures it complements outdoor aesthetics while providing a reliable water supply for garden maintenance.

The tank has a capacity of 400 liters.
Basic tools for mounting may be required, such as a drill and appropriate wall fixings. Installation instructions for the diverter kit should also be followed.
Water enters the tank via a rainwater diverter installed in your downpipe, which channels water from the guttering into the tank's inlet.
While not explicitly designed for linking, it may be possible with additional fittings, depending on the specific setup and diverter used. Consult product documentation or a professional for advanced configurations.
Annual cleaning with mild soap and water is recommended. Ensure debris is cleared from the inlet and drain the tank in winter.
Typically, a tap is included with the tank for easy water access. Please check the product listing for specific inclusions.
The tank is designed with a slim, flat profile for wall mounting. Specific dimensions are usually available in the product's technical specifications.
Verify the downpipe diverter is correctly installed and connected to the tank's inlet. Check for any blockages in the downpipe or the diverter itself.
Inspect the tap seal and connections for tightness. Ensure the tank itself is not damaged. If a leak persists, contact customer support.
Ensure the tank is secured to a solid wall with appropriate heavy-duty fixings. Check that the wall is structurally sound and can bear the weight of the water.
Ensure the overflow outlet, if present, is clear and directed away from the building foundation. The diverter kit may also have an overflow feature that needs to be managed.
Setup: To set up the tank, first identify a suitable location on a solid, level wall. Ensure the wall can support the weight of the tank when full. Position the tank and mark mounting points. Securely fix the tank to the wall using appropriate fixings (not typically included). Install a rainwater diverter kit into your downpipe, following the kit's instructions, and connect the diverter's outlet hose to the tank's inlet. Ensure the tap is accessible for use.
Compatibility: This tank is designed to connect to standard household downpipes via a compatible diverter kit. Ensure the diverter kit you choose is appropriate for your downpipe size and type.
Care: Clean the tank annually with mild soap and water. Remove any debris that may enter through the inlet. During winter, drain the tank completely to prevent ice damage. Check the tap and connections periodically for leaks.
