Largest water tanks for sale
It has become critical for SA to preserve current water supplies through recycling household water and the proactive harvesting of rain water by means of poly water storage tank solutions.
El Niño along with growing urbanisation placing greater demands on cities infrastructure, water and sanitation, the need for alternative water source solutions has become synonymous with the current water crisis in SA.
While El Niño does not produce a permanent change to weather conditions, it is responsible for climate changes that bring about unusual conditions that are predicted to occur more frequently, for longer periods of time and with a greater impact.
While there are various ways to capture and redistribute natural and used household water, one of the most effective methods to capture and repurpose rain water and recycled household water is with a vertical, horizontal or underground poly water storage tank.

- Bath water consumed can range between 80 to 140 litres per bath
- Dishwashers consume between 18 and 60 litres of water
- Washing Machines consume between 60 and 150 litres of water
- Sprinkler systems consume on average 1000 litres per hour
- Washing 1 car with the hosepipe will use around 200 litres
- A dripping tap will waste up to 150 litres of water per day
