  Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Is a pump required for this 5050L tank?

   • While water can exit the tank via gravity, a booster pump is essential to pressurize the water for use inside a home (showers, taps, geysers, etc.). For a tank this size, a 0.75kW or 1.1kW pump is generally recommended.

2. What is the correct foundation for a 5050L tank?

   • Given the weight (over 5 tonnes when full), a perfectly flat, level, and solid reinforced concrete slab is mandatory. Any unevenness or lack of full base support will cause the tank to fail and void the 10-Year Guarantee.

3. How often should the water in a tank this size be cleaned or replaced?

   • With the algae-resistant inner layer and a mesh filter on the inlet, minimal cleaning is usually required. For municipal backup water, it is best practice to cycle the water (use and replenish) regularly, ensuring it doesn't sit stagnant for more than a few months.
