What's included in the Utility Tank System?

Each system includes one 1,500 litre (330 gallons) black utility tank, a Forta Duo pump, easy-fit pump connection point with shut off valve, and a rainwater filter-diverter (which you install on the down-pipe).

The filter collector cleanses the rainwater before diverting it sideways into the tank, while leaves and debris continue down to the drain. When the Utility tank is full the filter collector automatically sends excess rainwater to the drain as usual. The unique removable filter cartridge can be taken out in seconds for cleaning. 
This outlet multi hosetail connection from the pump allows you to use 1/2 inch (13mm), 3/4 inch (19mm) or 1 inch (25mm) hoses.
The Utility Tank System has a compact, sturdy metal valve and simple, reliable brass connector enabling you to shut off the outlet from the Tank and disconnect the pump for storage.
  Pump technical details:  Power rating: 1,100W; Weight: 11.5kg;  Maximum flow rate: 3,100 litres/ hour;  Supply voltage: 230/240V;  Water resistance: IP68 (it is submersible);  Power cable: 10 metres in length;  Filtration: cartridge filter of 60 microns

1500 Litre Water Tank and Pump

This utility water tank is a large scale, all-inclusive solution to rainwater storage. The 3P Technik Utility Tank System can be used in a whole range of rainwater harvesting applications. The massive 1,500 litre water tank also comes with all the parts and connectors you need, making the buying process much simpler. Included in this package is a Forta Duo Pump to give you great water pressure from a hose (as good as mains pressure).

A massive rainwater storage tank & pump & connectors!

This system offers all the parts you need to create a large scale water collection and storage system. One of the great benefits of a large volume storage and pump combination is that you can water your garden for a meaningful amount of time. If you own a standard 190 or 200 litre water butt and connect a pump (like the Forta Duo that we supply) to it then a full water butt will be emptied in less than 4 minutes. How far will that get you? With our utility tank system, you will get just under half an hour of watering with a pump when you start with a full tank.

This tank is no beauty, but it does hold 1,500 litres of rainwater where cost or site conditions prevent you installing undertround systems. It has a small footprint and will sit equally comfortably on a garden path or in a garage. When empty each tank weighs a very solid 85kg. The dimensions of the tank are 1200mm x 780mm x 2000mm - so it is a shade over six and a half feet tall! The Wall Tank is only available in black so you can understand why we call it a utility tank.

The water tank comes with:

  • two 3/4 inch brass tank interconnecting points 
  • two DN50 (2 inch) outlet points 
  • three marked inlet/overflow points 
  • a removable lid of 460mm diameter (18 inches). 

The utility tank system is supplied with a powerful Forta Duo pump which means that you can enjoy the pressure and convenience of mains water while you are actually using free rainwater. Simply connect a hose or tap to the pump and it will run when you open the tap and automatically shut off when you close it, so there is no need to run back and switch the pump off. The pump can supply water at over 4 bar of pressure allowing it to push water uphill as high as 134 feet (41 metres). Using the pump, the flow rate through a 1/2 inch hosepipe is similar to mains water. Attached to the inlet of the pump is a large cartridge filter to ensure only clean water enters the pump.

 Rainwater  H2 OG

The latest in rainwater storage is the rainwater H 2OG , modular storage tanks which will fit into the tightest of spaces.

The image shows three H2OGs connected in a typical small garden location.water tank hog dimensions

  • The ideal solution for a town house or anywhere where space is at a premium.
  • Fit the Hog vertically or horizontally, even under the patio decking
  • Make up the volume you require by fitting multiple units; each Hog holds 180 litres and measures 500mm wide, 220mm deep and 1800mm high.
  • Modular means you can connect many together so that they act as one tank… water inlet at one end and water out at any point.
  • Retrofit the Hog to your existing home; no foundations necessary.
  • Ideal if you don’t own the house because each Hog is easy to dismantle and light enough at 18kg to carry.
  • H igh quality food grade plastic fittings which screw into brass threaded inserts cast into the tank.
  • Allows the excellent thermal qualities of water (r value double that of concrete) to be used as a thermal mass unit.
  • Vertical HOGs can load-bear an additional 100kg per tank when full, and horizontal tanks can be used as water filled deck joists when substituted for every third joist of a deck on ground. 

rainwater H2 OG is the invention of architect Sally Dominguez in Sydney, Australia. And that’s the country where many houses in the outback have to store their drinking water in tanks as big as a British swimming pool. But she saw the demand for a well-designed and nicely finished rectangular tank which responds to the demand for water storage for a town house which could not fit a big tank… find the space to fit lots of them and connect them together.

Graf Carat Rainwater Tank

 

Graf Carat 6500 litre rainwater tank from Graf of Germany, ideal for a high quality underground installation in commercial or residential premises.rwh carat rain tank

 

The image above shows a Carat tank and an illustration of a typical household water saving application with tank, filters and an external pump available from rainwaterharvesting.co.uk. To see a larger image of this application, please click here

 

 

The Graf Carat tank is the largest tank of its kind in the world to be manufactured by injection compression moulding. This technique provides the tank with unbeatable stability and ensures that each component is produced with the highest accuracy. Graf have invested €20m in their factory near Freiburg for the Carat range, introduced in early 2007.

Like the Graf Hercules, the Carat comes in two halves so you can carry it through a doorway as narrow as 80cms (and so we can stack many of them on one pallet for bulk transport). A centering bolt makes assembly accurate and the quick connections ensure there are no leaks between the two sections... and yet you can disassembly it if you like. The material used is a PE variant called Duralen.

The complete installation and maintenance instructions for the Carat tanks are available on demand from SimplyWaterButts

  • Preferably for underground mounting  (can be used above ground at owner's option) 
  • German manufactured, TÜV safety-tested 
  • Patented quick connection (no screws required for mounting)
  • P ermanently watertight: durably sealed thanks to solid profile sealing
  • Easy transport thanks to low weight and practicable size
  • See table for dimensions and weight 
  • Connections for underground installation: space for you to cut holes as required for connecting the filter inside the turret. We recommend use of British standard  110mm brown piping (more accurately 4.25 inches or 108mm external diameter) as supplied by builders merchants like Jewson, Wickes etc. If you are using 110mm piping between your roof's downpipes and the tank, and between the tank and the drain or soakaway, then you have no worries about compatibility of pipe sizes. As an option with the complete kit (see separate web page) we supply the tank with the holes cut and the the initial pipes supplied.

* The half height is a useful dimension if your site is at the back of a house and you have to get the tank through the doors of the house. The Carat is shipped in two halves with the turret separate. By tipping the half tank on its side you and a colleague can walk it through a narrow door. Your door width needs to be marginally wider than the half height shown.

The Carat tank can support pedestrian and car traffic (but not trucks and HGVs) when fitted with the optional dome and cast iron lid. Contractors often ask us the dimensions of the turret. There are two options which we provide (one (a) for pedestrian load bearing and the other (b) a cast iron one for vehicle load bearing) which have different dimensions. They are both extensible, and can be tilted if the ground surface is not level, as follows:
a) PE polyethylene lid. Height 750-950 mm. Maximum tilt 5%. Child safety lock. Green
b) Vehicle loading lid. Height 750-1050 mm. Maximum tilt 5%. Cast iron cover. Child safety lock. Dark Grey.
A telescopic dome shaft which extends the height of either turret a or b by 1000-1500mm is also available to order.

GRAF Rondus Rainwater Storage Tank 3000 Litres

 

Graf Rondus rainwater storage tank 3000 litres is ready to ship and IN STOCK. This is the revolutionary Rondus underground rainwater storage tank introduced to enable  a highly stable storage vessel suitable for shallow excavation.

 

 

For rainwater harvesting in the house and garden

  • Ideal for difficult installation situations, e.g. rocky subsurface
  • Suitable for installation in groundwater, max. groundwater level corresponds to the top ground surface. Follow installation instructions
  • Frost-proof installation at a depth of 1,600 mm (lower edge of container)

 

Ground-water-stable
The Rondus underground tank is, due to its specifically engineered design, so stable that can be completely installed in ground water and stratum water, as well as cohesive ground surfaces (i.e.,  loam – in connection with buoyancy control). The maximum ground-water level corresponds to the upper edge of the land.

Flat design
The flat design of the Rondus enables a sensationally shallow mounting depth - which means a less excavation than for a classic rainwater-based system – in fact, excavation is reduced by approx. 40%. Even so, all components which carry water are at least 60 cm below ground – in the frost-free level.

Total Height 1380mm, Length 2890mm, Width 2480mm

  • Can be installed in ground water and stratum water, as well as cohesive ground surfaces (i.e.,  loam).
  • In general, can be installed in a frost-free area through a tank manhole pit (500 mm).
  • Continuously adjustable installation depth through a telescope manhole cover.
  • Trouble-free assembly due to shallow excavation.
  • Long life, 15-year warranty
  • TÜV safety-tested
  • Low tank weight means can be installed without a crane
  • Large access (> 600 mm) for easy inspection of the tank
  • Tanks made from 100 % recyclable polyethylene
  • Best water hygiene due to smooth inner tank surfaces and use of food-safe materials
