Rainwater container Prosperplast ICAN440-S433 440 l, outdoor water harvesting tank

Prosperplast ICAN440-S433 is a 440-litre rainwater container designed for outdoor water harvesting and storage. Intended for garden and domestic non-potable use, the compact tank collects runoff from roof gutters and stores water for irrigation, washing tools, or other outdoor tasks. The container’s shape and capacity make it suitable for placement near downspouts, allotments, patios and small urban gardens where mains water conservation is desired.

Advantages

The tank is made from weather-resistant plastic that resists corrosion and does not require painting or special surface treatment. Its 440-litre capacity provides a balance between storage volume and compact footprint, allowing significant water savings without occupying excessive space. The unit is lightweight for easier handling during installation and can be connected to standard downpipe fittings for straightforward integration into existing rainwater systems.

Suitable for

• Garden irrigation for lawns, flowerbeds and vegetable plots
• Washing garden tools, outdoor furniture and patios
• Water supply for allotments and small-scale horticulture
• Temporary domestic outdoor water needs where potable water is not required

Key specifications

• Storage capacity: 440 litres
• Material: weather-resistant plastic
• Intended use: outdoor rainwater harvesting and non-potable storage
• Installation: designed for placement near downspouts and simple connection to gutter systems
• Physical: compact footprint suitable for patios, small gardens and allotments

How to use

Position the container on a level, stable surface near a downpipe. Connect the tank to the gutter system using the appropriate adapter or diverter to direct runoff into the container. Monitor the water level and use a garden hose, gravity-fed outlet or pump (not included) to distribute stored water for irrigation or washing. Regularly remove debris from the gutter and inlet to maintain flow and prevent blockages.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, fit a basic leaf filter or mesh at the inlet to reduce sediment and leaf ingress. During cold weather, prevent freezing by draining the container if prolonged low temperatures are expected. Do not use stored water for drinking or cooking; treat or filter if potability is required.
