Eco Tank 500 L Backwash Water Saver Tank (White) - Pool Conservation, Compact Design, Water Recycling Solution

Sustainable Pool Care: Save Water, Save Chemicals, Save Money

 

Every time you backwash your pool, you lose between 200 and 900 litres of chemically treated water. The Eco Tanks 500L Backwash Tank turns this waste into a resource. This tank is manufactured in a translucent natural/white material, which serves a vital purpose: it allows you to visually monitor the water level and see exactly when the sediment has settled to the bottom.

 

The tank features a unique dual-outlet configuration. A secondary 20mm outlet is positioned 100mm above the base, allowing you to drain only the clear, settled water back into your pool using a standard garden hose. The heavy sediment remains at the bottom, where it can be separately flushed out once a month via the primary bottom outlet. By recycling this water, you can reduce your pool top-ups by up to 90% and significantly cut down on the cost of replacement pool chemicals.

 

 

Key Benefits

• Massive Water Savings: Retains up to 500L of water per backwash cycle, potentially saving an entire pool's worth of water over a single year.

• Translucent Design: The white/natural finish allows you to see the "settle line," so you know exactly when the water is clear enough to return to the pool.

• Dual-Outlet System: Specialized fitting 100mm from the base ensures you only pull clean water, leaving debris behind.

• 10-Year Full Replacement Guarantee: The industry's strongest warranty, covering any manufacturing defects for a decade.

How it Works: The 24-Hour Cycle

1. Capture: Connect your pool pump's waste line to the top inlet of the tank.
2. Settle: Run your backwash and rinse cycles into the tank, then let it sit for 24 hours.
3. Recycle: Once the sediment has settled at the bottom, use the side tap to drain the clear water back into your pool.
4. Flush: Once a month, open the bottom plug to flush out the accumulated sand and sludge into your garden or drain.

    

Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Why is the tank white/translucent instead of a solid color? The translucency is a functional feature. It allows you to see the debris settle to the bottom. Once you see a clear line between the clean water and the sediment, you know it's safe to drain the top layer back into the pool.

2. Is the water safe to put back in the pool? Yes. Since the water came from your pool, it is already treated. After settling, the water is clear and the chemicals are still active. Just ensure you follow your normal testing routine once the pool is topped up.

3. Does it come with the necessary taps and fittings? Yes, the Backwash model typically includes the ball valve and garden hose attachment for the upper outlet, and a stopper for the bottom drainage point.
