  Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is the difference between the 4750L and 5050L tanks?

   • The 5050L offers an extra 300 litres of capacity and is typically slightly taller than the 4750L model, maintaining a similar diameter. Both are high-capacity, but the 5050L provides the absolute maximum storage for a single-tank installation of this type.

2. Can I install this tank indoors?

   • While technically possible, you must ensure the indoor location can handle the massive weight (over 5 tonnes when full) and has adequate drainage and ventilation. Indoor installation should only be done on a structurally sound ground floor slab.

3. What is the best way to handle a tank this large during installation?

   • Due to its height and diameter, it is recommended to use appropriate lifting equipment (like a forklift or crane) or a substantial team of people with specialized straps to carefully position the tank onto the prepared foundation, ensuring the base is never scraped or damaged.
