1200 Litre Eco Water Storage Tank

Who is this for

This tank suits site managers and facilities teams needing a genuinely potable rated water store where floor space isn't tight, and farmers or smallholders using it for irrigation, livestock or recycled water on sites with room to spare. Commercial premises use it for general water storage and dust suppression, while agricultural buyers value the WRAS approval when the tank is doubling as a drinking water source. Its round shape uses a wider base than the slimline range, so it suits open ground rather than narrow side returns.

Typical applications

• Storing WRAS approved potable water as a backup supply for site cabins, welfare units or rural properties.

• Collecting and storing rainwater for reuse in irrigation and general outdoor tasks.

• Holding recycled water for wash down, dust suppression or non drinking site use.

• Supplying irrigation systems across larger agricultural plots and commercial grounds.

• Providing a bulk water reserve for farms and smallholdings with adequate floor space.

• Acting as an emergency water store for facilities and commercial sites.

How to use

Step 1: Position the tank on firm, level ground with enough clearance for the full 1200mm diameter base.
Step 2: Fit a tap outlet or connecting pipework insert at the base if drawing water for irrigation or general use.
Step 3: Connect the inlet to a rainwater diverter or mains fill point, depending on the water source.
Step 4: Check the lid is fully seated before use to keep out debris and prevent algae growth.
Step 5: Inspect the tank periodically for cracking, discolouration or leaks after long UV exposure.

Common mistakes

• Positioning the tank without checking ground clearance for its full diameter, which crowds the surrounding area.

• Leaving the lid loose or missing, which lets in debris, insects and sunlight that encourages algae.

• Fitting a tap or pipework insert without following the correct method, which can compromise the seal.

• Assuming the tank is rated for burial and installing it below ground, which it is not built for.

• Overfilling past the rated capacity, which puts unnecessary strain on the tank walls.

Safety

This tank is designed for above ground installation only and is not rated for burial or below ground use. It is not suitable for storing chemicals, fuel or any liquid outside its intended water storage use. Keep the lid fitted at all times to prevent contamination and reduce the risk of accidental access.

Maintenance

Rinse the interior periodically to remove sediment and prevent algae build up, especially where the tank collects rainwater. Check the lid seal, tap outlet and any fitted pipework for wear every few months. Keep the surrounding area clear of overhanging vegetation that could drop debris into an open inlet.
