Full details

This 210L B2C Rainwater Tank is designed for homeowners and gardeners looking to efficiently collect and reuse rainwater. Its primary benefit is providing a sustainable water source for garden maintenance, reducing reliance on mains water. A potential caveat is its specific capacity, which may require multiple units for larger water needs. Key features include its durable plastic construction, an aesthetically pleasing antique amphora design, and multiple color options (Brick, Anthracite, Grey).

FAQs

What are the dimensions of the 210L tank?

The dimensions are approximately L: 56cm x W: 59.6cm x H: 113cm.

What colors is the B2C Rainwater Tank available in?

It is available in Brick, Anthracite, and Grey.

Do I need to buy a tap separately?

Yes, a tap is usually sold separately and needs to be installed near the base of the tank for water access.

How do I connect the tank to my downpipe?

You will need a rainwater diverter, which connects to your existing downpipe and channels water into the tank's inlet. This is typically purchased separately.

Can I leave the tank outside in winter?

It is recommended to drain the tank completely and potentially disconnect it in winter to prevent frost damage. Freezing water can expand and crack the plastic.

Is the plastic UV resistant?

The plastic is designed for outdoor use and has UV resistance to prevent degradation from sunlight, but prolonged direct sun can still affect water quality over time.

How often should I clean the tank?

It's advisable to clean the tank at least once a year, or more frequently if you notice sediment buildup or algae growth.

Troubleshooting

Tank not filling with water

Check that the downpipe diverter is correctly installed and aligned with the tank inlet. Ensure there are no blockages in the downpipe or diverter.

Water has an odor or algae growth

Clean the inside of the tank thoroughly. Ensure the tank is not exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods, which can encourage algae. Use a lid or cover if possible and rinse the tank if it has been stagnant for too long.

Tap is not dispensing water

Check if the tap is fully open. Ensure there are no blockages at the tap outlet or within the tank's connection to the tap. If the tank is empty, refill it.

Water level appears inaccurate

The tank does not typically come with a built-in water level indicator. Monitor the fill level visually or by checking the overflow.

Pros and Cons

  • Attractive design complements garden aesthetics

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Choose a level, stable location for the tank, preferably near a downpipe.
  2. Position the tank and connect a rainwater diverter from your downpipe to the tank's inlet.
  3. Ensure the overflow outlet is directed away from foundations or connected to a soakaway.
  4. A tap (often sold separately) can be installed near the base for easy water access.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with standard UK/European downpipes. A diverter kit is usually required for connection.
  • Ensure the ground surface is solid and level to support the weight of a full tank (approx. 210kg).

Care:

  • Clean the tank annually or as needed. Use mild soap and water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • In winter, drain the tank completely to prevent frost damage. Disconnect the diverter and store it indoors if possible.
  • Keep the inlet filter clear of debris like leaves and moss to ensure efficient filling and prevent blockages.
