Rain Water Tanks NZ

Manufactured by The Tank Guy, these discrete tanks are the only tanks in NZ made from food grade plastic. Civil Defence guidelines state that each household should store enough emergency water to provide a minimum of 3 litres per day per individual. These slimline tanks fit virtually anywhere and will provide a great emergency supply for a family.

Manufactured by The Tank Guy, the most versatile rain harvesting tank available in New Zealand. This tank is designed to withstand earthquakes (so needs no bracing) and can be connected in series to provide a large storage capacity, or for stormwater attenuation and detention. Five slimline tanks will provide the same storage as a single 4000L tank but will fit discretely along a wall.

Larger tanks suited for properties with plenty of space. These Devan tanks are commonly used on lifestyle blocks, or more rural properties, where the water can be used as a supplementary emergency supply of drinking water (with relevant added filtration) or for irrigation (with an added pump).

To capture the best water quality, it is important to ensure the roof guttering is as clean as possible, and free from leaves and other debris. Installation of our unique easy maintenance gutter and valley guard, and a periodic clean of the gutters, will ensure the best water supply possible.

Our gutter guard simply springs into place with no need to permanently screw it you your guttering. This make for extremely easy removal and replacement when cleaning of the gutters is required.

We recommend an annual maintenance clean of your gutters irrespective of whether you have screens installed or not. The cleaner your gutters are, the cleaner your harvested water will be.

A rainwater harvesting system can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be. A basic system harvesting unscreened and unfiltered water direct from the roof may be sufficient for some, but additional pre-filtering using a Leaf Eater and First Flush Divertor will dramatically improve the quality of the collected water.

Rainwater collection tanks will not provide enough pressure to run hose pipes or sprinkler systems. If your intention is to store lots of water for use around the garden, the addition of an electric pump will provide a pressurised supply for connection to a standard garden hose or irrigation system. These are readily available in DIY stores and we are happy to plumb one in for you. You will need to have an outdoor electrical outlet fitted by a registered electrician close to the installation.
