Yes, absolutely. Our 500L tank is manufactured from a premium, food-grade polyethylene plastic that is perfectly safe for storing drinking water (potable water). For the best quality, we recommend regular tank maintenance and using a first-flush diverter if collecting rainwater from your roof.
Installation is straightforward. Choose a location that is flat, stable, and can support the weight of a full tank (500L of water weighs 500kg). A level concrete pad or a compacted base of crusher metal (GAP 7 Stone) is ideal. Ensure the area is clear of sharp objects that could damage the base. Once positioned, you can connect your downpipe to the through the Leaf Cather, Install an Overflow, and attach a hose to the outlet fitting.
We also have Easy Connect diverters from your down pipe for small tanks like this, give us a call to discuss 09 390 2209

Plastic water tanks are very low maintenance. The main task is to occasionally check and clean the inlet mesh filter and overflow to prevent blockages from leaves and debris. It is also good practice to inspect the inside of the tank every few years for any sediment buildup and clean it out if necessary.
