Safe underground storage of water

As it is a semi-permanent fixture, it is important to deliberate long-term performance and quality when selecting an underground water tank. RotoTank™ has taken tank thickness, heavy duty access points and structural integrity into consideration – in the design of all its underground water tanks. As such, the company offers a 5-year structural warranty on its extra heavy duty technology as well.

Underground water storage tanks can be used for domestic, agricultural or industrial purposes, but it is most suitable for instances where the water or liquids need to be kept safe & do not need to be transported. Here are some important pointers:

• Typically used for storage of fresh, grey or rain harvested water
• Durable & safe for underground purposes but not portable after installation
• RotoTank™ manufactures provides standard & heavy duty fittings with 180 & 450mm lids
• The company also supplies both horizontal & vertical underground water tanks
• Water storage tanks can be accessed via a manhole once installed
