Rain water harvesting is the process of collecting and storing rainwater into tanks to use as a primary source of domestic water for your house, garden or farm.
All our Aqua Tanks® are made of food grade, UV resistant polyethylene. Aqua Tanks® are moulded in one piece and designed to ensure that stresses are contained within the patented ribbed walls and domed construction (NZ design patent 505190).
Aqua Tanks® do not change the taste.

We only manufacture and deliver Aqua Tanks® however we do provide an in-depth installation guide for anybody that would like to install the tank by themselves. A registered plumber or drainlayer can also install your water tank.
Depending on what your tank will be used for you can install your tank at the most convenient location for its use. The base the tank sits on is more important and must be flat with a bed of compacted Gap 7 or sand.
If you are laying a concrete base for your tank to sit on, the minimum depth should be 100mm, ensuring the sub-base is compacted prior to pouring the concrete.
Our larger tanks (16,000L and above) can be buried 700mm deep.
Our tanks vary in weight as they vary in size, and weigh between 30kg to 400kg.
The warranty on all above ground Aqua Tanks® is 10 years and the warranty on our under ground tanks is 5 years.
All our water tanks are manufactured at our factory in East Tamaki, Auckland – New Zealand.
