The Africa Tank 1,000L Slimline is a premium, space-saving water storage vessel specifically engineered for high-density South African residential areas. With its contemporary “rib-less” architectural aesthetic and narrow profile, it is the primary choice for homeowners looking to maximize water security without sacrificing the visual appeal of their property. Manufactured using an advanced rotational molding process, it offers a seamless, leak-proof finish that outperforms many traditional round tanks.
Key Performance Features
- Reinforced Internal Ribbing: Unlike traditional tanks with external ribs, Africa Tank utilizes internal structural bracing to maintain its slim shape without unsightly external bulging.
- UV-10 Stabilized Polyethylene: Engineered with superior UV protection (UV-10 rating) to prevent brittleness and color fading, ensuring a lifespan of over 20 years in the African sun.
- Algae-Resistant Inner Layer: Features a specialized black lining that blocks out 100% of sunlight, preventing the growth of algae and keeping stored water fresh and odorless.
- BPA-Free & Food-Grade: Manufactured from 100% virgin LLDPE, ensuring that no harmful chemicals leach into your drinking or garden water.
Ideal Applications
- Urban Rainwater Harvesting: Perfectly sized to fit alongside garden walls, down narrow side-passages, or behind suburban garages.
- Municipal Backup Systems: An ideal “buffer tank” to keep your household running during water-shedding or maintenance outages.
- Modern Architectural Projects: The clean, smooth exterior finish is designed to complement contemporary home designs and landscaped gardens.
- Vertical Garden Watering: Provides a high-pressure gravity feed or a perfect reservoir for small-scale irrigation pumps.
Product Benefits
- Space-Saving Footprint: Its slim profile (typically under 80cm wide) allows it to be installed in areas where a standard round tank simply won’t fit.
- Pre-Fitted Quality Outlets: Usually supplied with a 480mm leaf-trap manhole and high-quality 40mm/20mm reducers for immediate “plug-and-play” installation.
- 10-Year Manufacturer’s Warranty: Provides long-term peace of mind, backed by a commitment to quality and structural integrity.
Pro Tip: Due to its narrow profile and high center of gravity, it is absolutely critical that this tank is installed on a perfectly level, reinforced concrete plinth. Even a slight tilt can lead to instability when the tank is full (weighing 1 ton). For added safety, consider using a mounting strap if the tank is in a high-traffic area.
