The JoJo Slimline range is specifically designed for modern residential environments where space is at a premium. Unlike traditional round tanks, the Slimline series features a narrow profile that allows it to be tucked away alongside walls, down narrow side-passages, or behind garages. The Wintergrass color—a sophisticated, neutral olive-grey—is part of JoJo’s “Nature’s Palette” range, designed to blend seamlessly into contemporary landscaped gardens and modern architecture.
Key Performance Features
- Space-Optimized Footprint: Its slim, rectangular design occupies minimal ground space while providing significant vertical storage capacity.
- UV-Stabilized & Food Grade: Manufactured from high-quality, BPA-free polyethylene with a black inner lining to prevent algae growth and keep water fresh.
- Integrated Filter Screens: Usually supplied with a stainless steel mesh “leaf-trap” to ensure the harvested rainwater is free from debris and insects.
- Robust Ribbed Design: Engineered with structural ribs to prevent the tank from bulging under the pressure of several hundred liters of water.
Ideal Applications
- Urban Rainwater Harvesting: Perfect for small city gardens or townhouses where every square meter counts.
- Municipal Backup Systems: Use as a “buffer tank” to keep your household running smoothly during water-shedding or maintenance outages.
- Patio Irrigation: Connect a small pressure pump or rely on gravity to water potted plants and vegetable patches directly from the tank.
- Aesthetic Integration: The Wintergrass finish offers a premium look that complements charcoal, grey, and natural stone exterior finishes.
Product Benefits
- Pre-Fitted Quality Components: Comes standard with a 20mm tap/nozzle and all necessary outlets for immediate DIY or professional installation.
- Lightweight & Man-Portable: Unlike the 10,000L behemoths, Slimline tanks can typically be moved into position by two people without the need for cranes or heavy machinery.
- South African Original: Designed and tested for the local climate, ensuring a long service life and resistance to high-altitude UV radiation.
Pro Tip: While these tanks are “slim,” they still weigh nearly a ton when full (in the 1,000L model). Always ensure they are installed on a level, solid concrete base or a purpose-built JoJo tank stand. If installing against a wall, ensure there is a small gap (approx. 5cm) to allow for the slight expansion of the tank as it fills.
