  Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Does the darker Olive colour affect the water temperature?

   • While darker colours absorb more heat, the thick polyethylene walls and the essential dark inner layer (which blocks light) provide excellent insulation. The primary quality benefit comes from light being blocked, preventing algae growth, which the Olive colour helps to achieve externally.

2. What is the safe capacity margin for a 5050L tank?

   • The tank is designed to hold 5050 litres safely when placed on a correctly prepared, level, reinforced concrete slab. It is not recommended to exceed this listed capacity.

3. How should I filter the water entering this tank?

   • For rainwater harvesting, a leaf filter or first flush diverter should be installed before the inlet. For municipal backup, a simple mesh strainer is often sufficient, but it is best practice to install a sediment pre-filter before the pump.
