  Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is the minimum recommended foundation thickness for this tank?

   • For a tank holding over 5 tonnes of water, a professionally constructed reinforced concrete slab of at least 100mm to 150mm thickness is highly recommended. The foundation must be perfectly flat, level, and solid to prevent base failure and uphold the 10-Year Guarantee.

2. How long would 5050 litres last a household?

   • For a typical family of four practicing water conservation, this volume could potentially provide supply for 8 to 12 days, depending on consumption levels.

3. Can I link this tank to my existing smaller tanks?

   • Yes, multiple tanks, regardless of size, can be interconnected at the bottom outlets using flexible hosing and fittings. This creates a larger collective storage system that feeds a single booster pump.
