When you need real water security for the house, the garden or bushfire season, a 10,000L tank is the size that does it. This squat smooth wall poly water tank is 2.90m wide x 1.95m high (inlet 1.65m), Tasmanian made in one piece from food grade, UV stabilised polyethylene and certified to AS/NZS 4766 for drinking water. A squat tank is low and wide, so it sits under low eaves and gutters while still holding serious volume. It comes fitted with a ball valve, brass outlets, a leaf strainer and an overflow with a mozzie stopper, in 28 colours, backed by a 10 year manufacturer warranty. The honest bit: it is made to order in 3 to 5 weeks, it is delivered straight to your site in Tasmania (truck access needed), and it needs a level prepared base ready before it arrives.
Specifications
Grower's Tip
- Get the base right. The tank must sit on a level, compacted base that supports the whole footprint, with no rocks or roots underneath. Most tank problems start with a poor base.
- Fit a first flush diverter and keep the gutters clean if you plan to drink the water. The tank keeps water clean; your roof decides what goes in.
- Put a leaf guard on the gutters as well as the tank's leaf strainer. Less debris in means less sludge to clean out later.
- Point the overflow somewhere useful and away from house footings: a garden bed, stormwater or a soak.
- A tank gives you storage, not pressure. Add a pump if you want to run hoses, sprinklers or the house.
- Full, this tank holds 10,000L of water, which weighs around 10 tonnes. Never build the base on fill or on a slope.
