Eco Tank 1000 L Vertical Backwash Tank (Natural) - Pool water Saver, Sediment Settling, Unique Dual Outlet Design

Recycle Your Pool Water: The Eco 1000L Backwash Tank

 

The Eco Tanks 1000 Litre Backwash Tank is an essential investment for pool owners committed to water conservation. Designed specifically to capture the water lost during your pool filter's backwash and rinse cycles, this tank allows the sediment and debris to settle out overnight. The unique configuration of dual outlets then enables you to safely drain the clarified, reusable water back into your pool, while the heavy sediment is easily flushed from the bottom.

Made from durable, translucent polymer material, you can easily monitor the water level and the settling process. By saving up to 90% of your backwash water, this 1000L tank significantly reduces the need for constant municipal top-ups, saves on chemical consumption, and is a crucial step towards responsible water management. This tank comes backed by Eco Tank's robust 10-year warranty.

Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. How long does the settling process take before I can reuse the water?

   • The sediment needs time to settle completely. It is typically recommended to allow the water to settle undisturbed for at least 8 to 12 hours (overnight) before draining the clear water back into the pool.

      

2. How often do I need to flush out the sediment from the bottom outlet?

   • The heavy sediment (sludge) at the bottom only needs to be flushed out occasionally, perhaps once a month or when the sediment layer becomes noticeably thick. This ensures the tank remains efficient.

      

3. Is this tank safe to use for drinking water storage if I change the fittings?

   • This specific tank model is optimized for backwash water. While Eco Tanks are generally made from food-grade polymer, this tank lacks the essential black inner lining found in standard storage tanks which inhibits algae growth. Therefore, it is not recommended for long-term potable drinking water storage.
