What Size Water Tank Do I Need?

  1. Estimate daily use. Count the people and what the water is for (drinking, cooking, bathing, flushing, laundry, animals, garden). Your water bill in m³ ÷ 30 × 1,000 gives litres per day.
  2. Decide how many days of storage you want: how long the supply usually goes off, or how long the dry spell lasts if you rely on rain.
  3. Multiply: daily use × days = tank size. Round up to the next size.

Example: a home using 400 L a day that wants 5 days of backup needs about 2,000 L. Doubling up with two tanks is fine and lets you clean one while using the other.

Rainwater Harvesting: How Much Can Your Roof Collect?

Every 1 mm of rain on 1 m² of roof gives about 1 litre of water. A roof of 100 m² in a 20 mm storm can collect about 2,000 litres (a bit less after losses). That is why a good gutter system matters as much as the tank.

Installation Tips

  • A full tank is heavy: 1 litre of water weighs 1 kg, so a full 10,000 L tank weighs about 10 tonnes. The base must be flat, level and strong: concrete or well-compacted ground. For a raised tank, the stand must be designed for the full weight.
  • Place the tank on a smooth, level base with no stones, which can crack the bottom.
  • Fit a first-flush diverter or mesh on rainwater inlets to keep leaves and roof dirt out.
  • Keep the lid closed to stop mosquitoes and algae. Dark tanks let in less light.
  • Clean the tank at least once a year.

Is Tank Water Safe to Drink?

Stored rainwater or municipal water can pick up bacteria. For drinking, treat it with a filter and UV or an RO purifier. See UV Water Sterilizer Price and RO Water Purifier Price. To pump water up from the tank, see Booster Pumps & Pressure Controllers.

Reliance Water Tanks (Lets Construct)

The 1,000-litre loft tank suits roof and ceiling spaces; check the dimensions on the product page before ordering.

How Long Do Plastic Water Tanks Last?

It depends on the tank quality, UV protection and how it is installed. A good tank on a firm, level base, out of constant physical damage, lasts many years. Check the warranty on each product page, and look for UV-stabilised tanks if yours will stand in the sun.

Can a Water Tank Be Placed on the Ground?

Yes, on a firm, level and smooth base, such as a concrete slab, with no stones under it that could puncture it. A tank on the ground gives little pressure, so you may need a booster pump. A raised tank (on a stand or roof) feeds taps by gravity.

How Long Can You Store Water in a Tank?

Keep the tank covered and clean it regularly. For drinking water, keep it moving by using and refilling it rather than storing it for months, and treat or purify water from the tank before drinking.
