Vertical water tanks can be used in several ways to collect and store water for the purpose of consumption. Depending on the way you wish to set up your tank you will require various tank accessories, below we have listed a few of these fittings that are stocked at our branches nationally.

When choosing a pump for your RotoTank, you will need to bear in mind the following points:                                             

• The amount of taps you wish to use at any one time.
• The more taps you need to open the larger the pump required, if you have extra bathrooms always go for a larger pump to give you the correct pressure, no one enjoys a sudden cold shower.
• The height of your building, single or double story
• For double story buildings your geyser will be in the roof and to get the pressure up to that height, you will require maximum head pressure, never go below a 0.75kw pump to avoid damage to your geyser.
• For single story buildings you will not require height, just the number of taps and strength in pressure you require, need to be a consideration.

We recommend an inline filter

• The reason behind using filters is not to kill off bacteria but to prevent the sand, stones and small gravel or rust from entering your systems, they increase the longevity of your geyser and indoor taps and plumbing.

If you are unsure of the best pump for your home our staff can assist, we also stock larger pumps for Office Buildings and Business premises, just enquire at your local branch.

We always highly recommend that fittings from your water tanks are flexible not rigid, the reason behind this is that as a pump is switched on it vibrates and over time with fixed pipes or fittings you will see wear and tear and damage to your tank, with flexi hose the hose itself takes the vibration protecting your tank and increasing the longevity of not only the tank but the installation as a whole unit.

The best option is a suction hose Kit as per below list, the bonus with this set up is you can easily isolate your tank from your pump and vice versa, if you wish to disconnect your tank or pump these kits make it so much easier the specially designed fittings simply clip off. So, cleaning your tank or changing a pump can be DIY, no need for expensive plumbers to visit all the time.
