Make your water work smarter with the right tank size. Start small or scale up — either way, you’ll enjoy reliable storage, reduced costs, and long-term water security.
When it comes to water storage, one size does not fit all. The ideal water tank size depends on your household’s monthly consumption, available space, and whether you need backup supply, rainwater harvesting, or full household storage.
On average, a South African household uses between 15,000 and 30,000 litres of water per month, depending on family size and lifestyle. Here’s a breakdown of where that water typically goes:
These figures show just how quickly daily routines add up. A family of four can easily consume 500–1,000 litres per day, highlighting the importance of efficient storage and usage planning.
Engineering excellence to customer service, RotoTank™ leads the way. With more than two decades of experience and a footprint that spans the nation, our name has become synonymous with high-quality polyethylene water tanks that are built to last.
South Africa is a notoriously water scarce country, leaving us in an especially precarious position when we are met by drought. There are however ways which we can help save water and give our dams the chance to replenish themselves and recover. Roto Tank proudly produces rainwater harvesting tanks for this exact purpose, making rainwater harvesting possible and even easy!
