The Africa Tank 2,500L Vertical Tank is a robust, mid-range storage vessel designed for high-performance water management. Utilizing advanced rotational molding technology, this tank features a seamless, one-piece construction that is significantly more durable than traditional bolted or seamed alternatives. It is the primary choice for South African homeowners and farmers seeking a reliable, long-term solution for rainwater harvesting and municipal backup.
Key Performance Features
- Architectural Ribbed Design: Engineered with a unique, reinforced ribbing profile that provides maximum structural integrity and prevents bulging under the pressure of 2.5 tons of water.
- UV-10 Stabilized Polyethylene: Specifically formulated for the harsh South African climate, the UV-10 rating ensures the tank remains flexible and crack-resistant for decades.
- Black Food-Grade Inner Lining: Blocks 100% of sunlight from entering the tank, effectively inhibiting algae growth and keeping stored water cool and fresh.
- 100% Virgin LLDPE: Manufactured from BPA-free, food-grade materials, ensuring the water is safe for domestic use, livestock, and gardening.
Ideal Applications
- Residential Rainwater Harvesting: Perfectly sized for average family homes to collect and store water from large roof areas for garden irrigation or household use.
- Municipal Backup Systems: Often paired with a 0.75kW pressure pump to provide an automatic, high-pressure water supply during municipal outages.
- Agricultural Water Troughs: Provides a reliable secondary reservoir for livestock in remote camps or small-scale vegetable tunnels.
- Industrial Site Storage: Used in factories and workshops for greywater storage, cooling systems, or process water reserves.
Product Benefits
- High-Flow Outlets: Typically supplied with a 480mm leaf-trap manhole and high-quality 40mm/50mm reducers for rapid filling and discharge.
- 10-Year Manufacturer’s Warranty: Backed by a comprehensive guarantee against manufacturing defects and structural failure.
- Contemporary Color Range: Available in popular colors like “Charcoal,” “Sandstone,” and “Khaki” to blend into modern building aesthetics.
Pro Tip: A 2,500L tank weighs 2,500kg when full. It must be installed on a level, smooth, and reinforced concrete plinth at least 100mm thick. Any “bridging” (where the tank hangs over the edge of the base) will cause the floor to stress and eventually crack, which is not covered under warranty.
