   Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Is a tank this size difficult to install?

   • Installation requires careful planning and execution. Due to the tank's size and weight (over 5 tonnes when full), it is crucial to use lifting equipment to place it onto the perfectly flat and level reinforced concrete foundation. The foundation preparation itself is the most critical part of the installation process.

2. Can I link this 5050L tank with other smaller tanks?

   • Yes. For ultimate water security, you can link the 5050L tank to other Eco Tanks using a manifold system at the base outlets. This allows all tanks to fill and empty simultaneously, acting as one larger system.

3. Does the Grey colour help keep the water cool?

   • While lighter colours (like Beige) may marginally reflect more heat, the primary factor in keeping the water cool and preventing algae is the dark inner layer which blocks light. The Grey colour is a popular aesthetic choice that performs well in terms of durability.
