FAQs

What is the capacity of this rainwater tank?

The Woodcan Rainwater Tank has a generous capacity of 265 litres.

Is a base included with the tank?

No, the base is not included with this product and must be purchased separately. It is crucial to place the tank on a stable, level surface.

What materials is the tank made from?

The tank is constructed from high-quality plastic that is UV-resistant and frost-proof, designed for year-round outdoor use.

How do I connect a tap or hose to the tank?

The tank features a threaded hole at the base, which is compatible with standard taps or garden hose connectors. Simply screw the fitting into the hole.

Can this tank be used during winter?

Yes, the tank is frost-proof. However, it is recommended to drain the tank and tap during freezing temperatures to prevent potential damage.

How can I connect the tank to my downpipe?

You will typically need to cut your existing downpipe and install a rainwater diverter kit (sold separately) that directs water into the top opening of the tank.

What are the dimensions of the tank?

The tank measures approximately 113 cm in height and 64 cm in diameter.

Troubleshooting

Tank is not filling with water.

Check that the downpipe is correctly aligned with the tank opening or that a diverter kit is properly installed. Ensure there are no blockages in the downpipe or diverter.

Water is leaking from the tap/hose connection.

Ensure the tap or hose connector is securely tightened. Check the seal or washer for wear and tear and replace if necessary. Consider using PTFE tape on the threads for a better seal.

The tank appears unstable.

Ensure the tank is placed on a perfectly level and solid base. If using a stand, confirm it is rated for the weight of a full 265L tank and is stable.

Debris accumulating inside the tank.

Ensure the lid is securely fitted to prevent leaves and other garden debris from entering. Clean the inside of the tank annually or as needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Location Selection: Choose a stable, level, and sturdy surface for the tank. Ensure it is positioned near a downpipe for efficient rainwater collection. Note: A suitable base or stand is required and must be purchased separately.
  2. Connection: Position the tank under or near the downpipe. You may need to cut the downpipe and install a diverter kit (not included) to direct water into the tank's top opening.
  3. Tap/Hose Attachment: Screw a compatible tap or hose connector into the threaded hole at the base of the tank. Ensure a watertight seal.

Compatibility:

  • The threaded outlet is designed to be compatible with standard garden taps and hose fittings.
  • Ensure your downpipe is of a suitable diameter to work with potential diverter kits.

Care:

  • Periodically clean the top opening and lid to remove leaves and debris.
  • Use a soft cloth and mild soapy water to clean the exterior of the tank. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • During winter, ensure the tank is emptied or protected from freezing if water is present to prevent damage. If a tap is fitted, it should also be drained and protected.
