   Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Is this tank size suitable for only rainwater harvesting?

   • No, the 5050L tank is highly versatile. While excellent for collecting rainwater, it is primarily used for municipal backup storage where it holds treated drinking water, or for storing bore-hole/well water, provided the water is appropriately filtered.

2. Does the Storm Sky colour affect the tank's durability?

   • Not at all. The durability comes from the UV-stabilised, high-density polyethylene material, which is consistent across all colour ranges. The colour choice is purely aesthetic.

3. What is the minimum clearance needed for installation?

   • You should allow a minimum of 600mm around the perimeter for plumbing installation, maintenance access, and comfortable reach to the manhole cover.
