  Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Given its size, how heavy is this tank when empty?

   • While exact weight varies, polyethylene tanks are relatively light when empty (typically around 90-110 kg for this size), allowing for easier positioning before filling. However, it will require several people or light machinery to handle due to its size.

2. Is the concrete slab foundation more critical for this large capacity?

   • Yes, absolutely. With nearly 5000 litres of water (weighing almost 5 tonnes), a perfectly level, solid, and fully supported foundation is critically important to prevent the base from buckling and the tank from failing, which would void the 10-Year Guarantee.

3. How long would 4750 litres last a household?

   • For a typical family of four using water conservatively, 4750 litres could potentially last between 7 to 10 days, depending on usage patterns (e.g., minimizing bathing, laundry, and gardening).
