When searching for the right water tank, an important consideration is the available property space you wish to dedicate to storing water. Clark Tanks offers a range of rainwater tanks to help satisfy property owners no matter your space requirements. This article will look at some options to consider when buying a tank to meet specific space requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your first step before looking for a rainwater tank solution, should be to identify appropriate locations. While connecting a downpipe to a storage tank located directly beneath it might be easier, this can also potentially limit your options. It is possible to situate a water tank anywhere on your property, although ideally it is good to have it higher which requires less pump power. If you wish to avoid ugly above ground pipes (a \u201cdry system\u201d), an alternative is to run pipes underground to deliver harvested rainwater into your tank (a \u201cwet system\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then again, maybe all you need is a lower capacity slimline or two which could comfortably fit beside your house. There could be multiple workable solutions, so let\u2019s explore different types of tanks and their sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With more popular sizes, such as 5,000L (1,100 gallon), 10,000L (2,200 gallon) and 22,700L (5,000 gallon) round tanks, you can purchase either a taller tank with thinner diameter, or a lower \u201csquat\u201d tank that is wider. Consider the following sizes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
