Designed for non-potable applications, it helps reduce mains water consumption for irrigation and washing.

How to use

Position the tank on a level, stable surface close to a downpipe to allow efficient water collection. Connect the tank inlet to the downpipe using an appropriate diverter or connector, following the installer’s instructions for a tight fit and overflow routing. Use the outlet or tap (if fitted) to access stored water for irrigation or cleaning tasks; if a tap is not pre-installed, fit a compatible garden tap assembly. Regularly inspect the inlet strainer, top cover and any fittings to remove debris and ensure unobstructed flow.

Usage recommendations

Locate the tank on a firm, level base and secure overflow to a suitable drain or soakaway. Empty and clean the tank periodically to prevent sediment build-up and algae growth. Do not use stored water for drinking or cooking; this product is intended for non-potable applications only. During freezing conditions, follow manufacturer guidance to avoid damage from ice expansion.
