Rainwater off your roof is free water for the garden, the greenhouse and the house, and a tank this size makes it worth catching. This 1,575L slimline mini-orb poly water tank is 1.45m long x 0.83m wide x 1.90m high (inlet 1.80m), Tasmanian made in one piece from food grade, UV stabilised polyethylene and certified to AS/NZS 4766 for drinking water. A slimline tank is narrow, so it tucks along a wall, fence or side path where a round tank would eat the yard. 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 needs a level prepared base, and we only deliver within Tasmania.
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 1,575L of water, which weighs around 1.575 tonnes. Never build the base on fill or on a slope.
